The copyrights owner has the right that no-one besides it copies its work. Period. You want to copy its work? Get a license (it will waive to you the right to copy its work, *provided* you also do such and such)
Repeat with me: 1. a license is not a contract; 2. a license is not a contract;... 1000....
contract: two entities agree in something that generates rights and obligations to both of them. it's enforceable, and the contract can stipulate fines or other penalties for the non-fulfilling of the obligations for some of the entities (a.k.a. parties of the contract).
license: one entity (a.k.a. licensor) does waive its legal rights to other entity (a.k.a. licensee), maybe conditionally, like the GPL.
this means the licensee has no obligations to the licensor (as in a contract), but he can get his license rescinded (if it's conditional and he does not fulfill his obligations); once his license is rescinded, he is infringing copyrights, which, in many jurisdictions, may face civil and criminal penalties.
In few words: if you don't fulfill contractual obligations, you are at fault with the other party. he can sue, fine you, all in a civil court; if you don't fulfill license conditions, you are at fault with the society (copyright infringement) and you can be brought (potentially) to a criminal court.

1: This is a problem with OE, not Windows,: OE comes standard with windows; most people use it because Outlook proper is much heavier; 2: and it has been fixed for a long time.: No, it does not fixes itself. The user has to fix it, or the sysadmin if inside some enterprise. You install any Win2k from the CD, and you have a buggy mail client by default; 3: Programs can only install device drivers when priveleged. Do you run your mail client as root? Normal users can't install drivers.: Yes, I and all other Win95/98/ME using people around the world run our email clients as root/Administrator. Or do you think every small firm/govment agency out there has the resources to migrate from 9x to NT? [Disclaimer: hummassa works at a State Representative House in Brasil] Worse, as using a lot of commercial software require dongles and stuff, many of us running NT/2k/XP run all stuff as Administrator or PowerUser, too; 4: Also, Outlook and other Internet Explorer based programs put downloaded files, like attachments, into the current user's profile under "Temporary Internet Files". You could always deny everyone execute access in that directory to get the same effect as noexec.: Why isn't it by default? 5: You can also deny users from writing and creating files by the use of ACLs for an effect like mounting read-only.

Please. So, to run it I have to chmod +x it; ooh, but/home is mounted noexec, so I log as root, cp it to... hmm.../usr/local/bin... nope, no/usr/local... ok,/usr/bin it is..., oops, it's mounted read-only, I'll have to mount -o rw,remount/usr then I'll chmod +x it, aaah... now I go back to my regular account and execute it. How this compares to send me a fscking html-with-vbscript that will be executed while in the preview pane of Outlook Express and downloads another executable that has the power to install itself as a device driver and run in kernel mode????? Even if I have to click on the attachment, it will execute right away!!!!
(missing a huge community etc.) many, many projects need the ability to write in fixed-width fonts to a printer, p.ex. the output of your supermarket cashier ticket / credit card ticket. This is a real world-class application to formats (because those little printers are best suited to the job and they write in monospaced). There are others, many, many others.
Have they forced users to buy licenses for nmap in addition to the GPL? We don't know. The text of their "linux" license does not state clearly what are you licencing, but it states something like "anything that is or resembles System V derived code"... is it a joke or what?

I have a nice book (the 100 best works of Stephen King, I think) that has a lot of info about it. But this is a nice idea, really.
his /etc/fstab probably is (like mine):
/mnt/windows vfat user,noexec,noauto 1 1
...
/dev/hdb1
...
I stand corrected. Bad use of the word "above". I meant "any injury".

noatime is almost always the right answer.
Since you mentioned it (and attentive I am not), I asked the wife if she knew what a Fendi is.

HTH,
I tought we should be concerned at any level above *one* injury.

"Brazil type misapplication of technologies"... care to clarify, please? or exemplify?
Sou brasileiro :-) And we are in the subject of caffeinated beverages. And yes, I love erva-mate !!!

Have you ever seen goatse.cx? Make that the sound clip of a very low-pitched fart... Or no sound at all, actually.
That the govment was the proxy of the corporations... ;-)

get Parrot. Perl6 is there. Alpha, not beta. Good riddance.
Anyway, I would NOT, in no circumstances, buy or let anyone I can influence buy a car sold with the hood welded shut.
Hmmm, you are talking about this...

KDE and GNOME has it since 0.x days... :-)
