If I've gotten a CD (say in the back of O'Reilly's Apache book) can I now sell that CD for more than the cost of the media? Isn't that just another form of unbundling?
You can do that anyway. There's no restriction in the GPL that you can only charge for the cost of the Media. That was a restriction on alot of classic shareware software, though.
Happy Birthday to You, the four-line ditty was written as a classroom greeting in 1893 by two Louisville teachers, Mildred J. Hill, an authority on Negro spirituals, and Dr. Patty Smith Hill, professor emeritus of education at Columbia University.
The melody of the song Happy Birthday to You was composed by Mildred J. Hill, a schoolteacher born in Louisville, KY, on June 27, 1859. The song was first published in 1893, with the lyrics written by her sister, Patty Smith Hill, as "Good Morning To All."
Happy Birthday to You was copyrighted in 1935 and renewed in 1963. The song was apparently written in 1893, but first copyrighted in 1935 after a lawsuit (reported in the New York Times of August 15, 1934, p.19 col. 6)
In 1988, Birch Tree Group, Ltd. sold the rights of the song to Warner Communications (along with all other assets) for an estimated $25 million (considerably more than a song). (reported in Time, Jan 2, 1989 v133 n1 p88(1)
In the 80s, the song Happy Birthday to You was believed to generate about $1 million in royalties annually. With Auld Lang Syne and For He's a Jolly Good Fellow, it is among the three most popular songs in the English language. (reported in Time, Jan 2, 1989 v133 n1 p88(1) Happy Birthday to You continues to bring in approximately 2 million dollars in licensing revenue each year, at least as of 1996 accounting, according to Warner Chappell and a Forbes magazine article.
Diesel engine improvements far outweigh the efficiencies demanded by the solo car driver.
I seriously suggest you check out the TDI engine from Audi/VW. It's a passanger car diesel engine, which has about 1.5-2x the mileage of an equivilant gasoline engine, with a fraction of the emissions.
This has nothing to do with generic web javascript window.new() popup ads on porn sites, warez sites, or what have you. This is an AOL feature, that AOL supplies, and AOL gets revenue from. I'm afraid that this won't stop porn sites from littering your desktop with windows, nor will it stop warez sites from doing the same. It will only change the behaviour of AOL to AOL subscribes. So don't get your panties in a bunch.
I agree. I probably had that same distro (on the back cover of the massive Using Linux). I was installing it on a 486/66, and, well - i had this new fangled thing called an 'ATAPI IDE CD Drive', which Linux didn't quite support yet. Alot of good that CD did me. So, reading the slackware documentation, I found out that the directories on the CD mapped to floppy disks.
Guess what I used DOS (this was before Win95 existed) for? Copying package by package to floppy disk, rebooting, installing, then rebooting back to DOS, copying a few more floppys over those, and then rebooting back to Linux. Eventually, I managed to get pppd up and running with my ISP (do you have any idea how good that felt after struggling with it for days?), and haven't looked back.
This is very likely an X configuration issue, as I'm a lazy ass and haven't bothered tackling it, so the number pad Enter doesn't even work in Netscape or Xterm....
RMS doesn't "discourage using the LGPL for libraries", at least not for all libraries... If you see the FSF page, RMS lists under which exact situations he considers the use of the LGPL wise.
I was being brief, simply to illustrate a point - what happens when you link a GPL library to non-GPL code.
that's what it means, as i understood it. if programmer A links GPL code with code that's under an incompatible license, he/she is the one at fault, and he isn't even allowed to distribute the resultant work, as he has certainly violated one of the code licences...
I've wondered before if you can GPL parts of your code, but not the entire thing. For instance, could you make all of your header files, where the actual functions live, GPL and leave the main routines in another license? You'd still be giving people what they look for, but not everything.
This is covered in the whole question of linking. What you're describing is making a GPL'ed library, and then linking it against non-GPL'ed code. In that case, any resultant work created by linking the GPL'ed libarary would have to be distributed under the GPL. This was the whole reason that RMS discourages using the LPGL for libraries (which doesn't do that), as he wants to encourage others to GPL thier code.

You should also remember to point out biodiesel - a diesel fuel formulated from soybean oil.

Ahh, the memories...
Debian's a non-profit organization, hardly a corporation.

Which is the whole idea behind 'GPL Compatable' licenses, if you read the GPL...

aol (used to) provide a tcl/tk aim client for unix users. this was pulled during the brief msn/aim war, i belive.
many aim clients exist for linux/unix.
Jesus was a Hobbit!
the other reason not to get one of thier special edition bugs, is that they won't make them with a TDI engine in them.

umm, they licensed the quake (1!) engine, and then upgraded to the quake 2 engine.
so, no.
fitter, happier. more productive.
The RIAA is the one being.
That's a frightening sentiment....
yeah, yeah
