The most popular Linux license doesn't need the addendum -- the GNU GPL already makes evil corporations run screaming. Some forbid their employees from even looking at GPL-protected code.:)
Cause they know if they use it, or modify it, without giving the source back, they can be sued -- not just for money, but for the public release of the code for that product (and thus the loss of any profit from it).
You're right -- Microsoft even drafted an RFC for the streaming protocol used here (ASF). It can be found in IETF archives. Aapparently no one bothered to write an open-source implementation of it, which hinders its acceptance as a standard.:-)
Writing a free streaming server for ASF, like Apples free Quicktime server, would be a neat hack. But actual playback would still be impossible until MPEG-4 is released as a standard, and codec software released...

The debian lilo install is indeed different, the new stuff likes to add a second-stage bootloader instead of (or in addition to?) changing the MBR. I'm not sure when or why this happens.
The fix is to "sys" the C: drive from a win32 rescue floppy, and in linux change the first line of lilo.conf ("boot=/dev/hda1") to boot=/dev/hda. And if necessary add at the end: other=/dev/hda1 label=crap.
Isn't this the sendfile() call? I remember the idea being taken from NT and gleefully added to 2.1.x some time ago (yearish). But though its in 2.2.5 kernel headers, it seems we have to wait for glibc 2.1 before programs like Apache can exploit it easily.
Pointless technical note: the package manager isn't "all written in Perl". The core (dpkg) is C, the more powerful tools (dselect, apt) are C++. It's the parts of it that create new Debian packages (dpkg-buildpackage et. al.) that are Perl.
Unfortunately yes, thats it -- unless you install glibc 2.1 and associated packages on your Slink system (libc6, libc6-dev, ncurses, slang, gcc, libstdc++2.8, etc.). I hear it doesn't break THAT many things, but I'm holding off for a few days myself.:-)
In our defense, that $20 is for the media, replication, and shipping costs, not the cost of the free software. To create the 2 CDRs involved, someone had to stare at a SCSI burner for the better part of an hour, then apply labels by hand (Avery 5931) and pack in bubblepack mailers.
Cheap discs of regular silver media will be available soon -- I hear cheapbytes will be able to ship next week.
Until then you can download the discs from one of the CD Image Mirrors, or just install via ftp. Theres nothing on any Official CD thats not already on ftp.debian.org.
Yes it does, if you use the one from Potato or the one installed into Slink (the upcoming Debian 2.1) last Friday. It's a great way to keep those highly-customized experimental kernels consistent across multiple machines.:-)
Source and binaries at netgod.net/linux/, summed and signed by a Debian developer. The 2.2.x kernel seems to work fine on both 2.0 (hamm) and 2.1 (slink), though we're not ready to officially declare them "2.2 ready."
The bzImage on this one is 666kB, which is kind of eerie....

Few would take that risk.
