  1. Re:Add a few librarys on Free as in Marketable? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Youre getting a bit touchy about this.
    The project is a university project and the first principle of such is to educate and explore. It is not there to make money nor to create copyright or patents for the university.
    If you are studying or researching you can write any code you like to help with the research but it does belong to the University. The University is not going to say "You are no longer allowed to code" or "never use GPL'd librarys again". Students job isn't to code for the university and researchers can do anything that fits in their research contract.
    Any copyrightable or patentable code or work arising from your research can be used by the university but they cant tell you to write, what to write, how to write it or which librarys to link against.
    And yes you could remove LibBFD. And no dlload is not a replacement. You can call it sabbotage but I think its using the best tools for the job.

  2. Add a few librarys on Free as in Marketable? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Its easy to force or make it very difficult not to release the source of a project once you are the coder. The easyest way is to link in a few GPL librarys (LibBFD is my favorite in this area) and make their use so essential that the software cannot be unbundled from them. Then state that if the product is to be released to the public it has to be open sourced due to its use of GPL'd librarys. Doesn't stop you writing it but if the university wants to distribute it then it needs to open it.

  14. How owns the copyright? on Microsoft Shared Source -- With a Twist · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well I like the fact that microsoft is looking at adopting mozilla like (i think) licences. But "Of course, they want copies of the changes".
    Do they inherit the copyright to the changes? Can they then release your code as their own? Can they use your code in other products?

    Intel would love to screw microsoft but I think Microsoft had a headake for a while and intel doesnt impress it any more.

    Unfortunately for the price jump is very high to justify the system on 32bit perforane alone.

  17. Re:64 Bit-OS .... that's great, but ... on Microsoft Commits to Using Opteron · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually I think the programs be ready before the OS's. The inquirer has a long list of 'The willing'.

    For instance, there are five varieties of Linux, three BSDs, Beowulf and Windows in the offing. Most of them have either already been released or are due to be released at the Opteron launch.

    Database support is strong with IBM's DB2 leading the field; CA Ingres, Oracle and MS SQL Server are all set to follow.

  18. A bit late on Microsoft Commits to Using Opteron · · Score: 2, Informative

    It will be annoying when they do release the opterons and there is no (64bit) software to run on them. Sort of buy a system, install a 32bit os and then a few months later reinstall it.
    Also I think many people will be dissapointed with the 32bit performance and AMD might get a bad name for it.
