    Because it would have went to a bidding war. Kodak would have made out, but $550 divided by google apple facebook et all is much cheaper than google and apple in a bidding war.

    It's one thing for a soldier to point a gun at someone in a turban that they don't identify with at all, it's another thing to point a gun at someone from they went to high school with. It's easy to bomb a city with a name you can't pronounce it's much harder to bomb your home town. Not to mention that a portion of the military is going to be on each side.

    yes, it is known, smarter people are more likely to be successful and produce smarter children who are also more likely to partake in illegal behavior in a smarter way.

    Sure there's a decent amount of luck involved in it as well, but luck is a huge part of life.

    NIH? I haven't followed this, but is there a reason Samba didn't base itself off of existing tools? OpenLDAP, BSD Kerberos etc...

  19. Re:No more licensing fees :) on Samba 4.0 Released: the First Free Software Active Directory Compatible Server · · Score: 4, Informative

    My anecdote: 5 years ago we were a 95% Windows shop with only 15 Linux servers. Today we are a 90% Linux shop with near 1000 Linux servers. We went from 5 Windows Admins and 1 Linux admin to 6 Linux admins and 3 Windows Admins. Yet we are unlikely to convert AD to this for the exact same reasons. It's not just AD it's the plugins to AD the monitoring and the fact that, while it rarely breaks anyway, if something does break the amount of repair tools and articles on how to fix it are numerous. As that original 1 Linux admin I would like to see this as an option. But it's not very likely.

    The reason this is all released is a way for Netflix to fight the chance that their service gets throttled. It's a free market solution to anti-netneutrality legislation. I like it.

    Maybe and Maybe. It is covered in the FAQ of the GPL that you don't get to though that is not legally binding and you could possibly try it in court. In the FAQ it suggests that deployment within a legal entity like a Fortune 500 Co, or any other company is not distribution as used in the text of the GPL.
