You would be right if it included only one line in the manual. But what if it doesnt stop there. from the announcement:
XFree86 contributors are also encouraged to review the license change, and let us know if they wish to make similar changes to licenses in their name
so they are already planning to add extra lines. And this is only for one program. how many of those lines can fit in the end-users documentation before it becomes annoying.

Last time I checked 4 companies are more than 0 companies. Did I miss some press releases about companies supporting userlinux?
Don't blame/praise Microsoft for this. There is no indication that microsoft is activly backing this. Any company can write a language which runs on the.net CLR and any company can join the visp program.
from the article: We've reviewed the contracts of major trade publishers and concluded that these publishers do not have the right to participate in this program without their authors' permission.
And not to mention that the article compares it with a case about the reuse of newspaperarticles.
This makes perfect sense for the hardware companies, when you buy a high end router, you aren't paying just for the box, the metal, and the wires, but also for the IOS
When you buy a Ford you don't just pay for the doors, the roof,the wheels and the engine,but also for the software which controls the engine. So that does also make pefect sense to you?
For me not being allowed to transfer a software license still doesn't make sense.
Sometime ago I had problems running KDE and gnome. Kde ran , but it took 10 minutes to start up and gnome didn't started at all.
It took me a month to figure out what the problem was. I had accidently turned of the the network loopback device. I discovered this when i noticed that disabling my network card solved the problem.
I was talking about a technical point of view? How does a person use a lgpl java jar in a way that complies with section 6 of the lgpl. The people who wrote the blogs don't seem to know it.
It might be usefull to know this for other programming languaes too? maybe a nice Idea for in the faq.
From an outsiders point of view (I'm from the Netherlands) I find the actions taking by the US Administration very shocking
I am also from the Netherlands. But I am more concerned about the dutch goverment follow the example of the US goverment. They are already considering limiting the rights of suspected terrorist.
He says software becomes a commodity,therefore Oracle becomes a producers of commodities. Why would ebay buy a company which makes a commodity? Are they going to buy the companies which makes there coffeecups and officesupplies also.
Slashdot Mirror
their logs only say how many people downloaded the file. not how many people actually unzipped it.
penny arcade made a comic about this.

Further more, nobody ever said UserLinux wouldn't include KDE apps
Bruce Perens made it cleary that Qt and kdelibs won't be include. that means no KDE apps.
RTFA. He is also giving rewards to other projects.
Don't tell anybody, but there are people working on desktop PCs in enterprises.
increasingly younger teenagers, I wait for the day they get to "pocket-money" kids who simply can't afford it - the industry will implode
In the Netherlands and Belgium there are already group focussing on 4-10 year olds. Those kids just get their parents to buy the CDs.

I noticed this page in the longhorn sdk api
It looked like a flash replacement and I guess I was right.
Did you RTFA?

That isn't very likely. If IBM owned a significant percentage of the stock they would be forced to report that to the SEC.

Could you please be more specific? what is the problem and how can it be fixed?
How does your Section handle Open Source/Free software licenses? for example how do you check if a FTP server is allowed to distribute software?
Can CCIPS prosecution of people who violate licenses of Open Source software?
My guess is: Burocrazy. Implementing that laws are probally somewhere on the bottom of the todo list of some civel servant.
I don't do it myself, but the technology is intressting?
Like the klap skate or areodynamic strips they put on the suits.
the poster is correct. It is the 90th tour, but the Tour is also 100 years old. they missed 11 tours arround the first and the second world war.

IANAL and I don't read german very well.
But according to fish transalation it is about liablity.
Did they went through 4 major versions in one year?
I hope that they are planing to slow down when the reach the same version as red hat.
