  2. BSA to defend the GPL? on Your Daily Dose of Microsoft · · Score: 1

    So, i know this is troll, and i also know that calling myself a troll will get me modded as not a troll, so there. My question's simple...
    Can we get the BSA to defend the GPL for us? They are, IIRC, a government sanctioned operation with some legal powers (although funded and in all reality owned by M$ and others).
    Can we use the BSD to show it's true colors by demanding that they also defend the GPL, thereby pushing thier 'self destruct' button?
    Just a fleeting whim...

    OK, I could give a fsck about mod points, so I'll not dodge my identity to answer you...
    look at freedom 3 again. I'm not a FSF junkie, I'm simply correcting the point made.
    The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits. (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
    If you are the original author, of course you have the freedom to improve the program. Let me rephrase freedom 3 so you understand it.
    Access to the source code is mandatory for the public to be able to release improvements to it, so that the whole community benefits.
    Does this help? (Yeah, I know, I'm the troll, right?)

  7. Why code is speech... on Report From The 2600 Appeal Hearing · · Score: 2

    Let's take Sullivan's example of code possibly being considered a poem. Have a look at the source for Crystal Space(http://crystal.linuxgames.com). This is a modern-day Milton. Jorrit has taken a "bee in his bonnet" and turned it into the most beautiful, expressive, and obvious code I've seen available in an Open Source project. This code should be studied by anyone wanting to write code, cross-platform or not. Just as Paradise Lost is studied by everyone expected to know the "classics."
    As for the argument that it's not speech to anyone but hackers: Paradise Lost was not written in English. Let's jump back to before it was translated into our lanquage. Was it still a poem? Yes. Is C a lanquage? Yes. Is Paradise Lost functional? It was meant to be. It was Milton's guide to life... albeit symbolic.
    Just because something is written in a language you don't understand, that doesn't give you the right to label it as anything but speech.

    IIRC, the sat collection cost $8M/month to run. They have already set a two year gov contract for $72M which covers six months of operational costs. They seem to have set themselves up as a wholesaler otherwise; currently having twelve resellers. That makes a lot of sense to spread the operating cost onto them while taking in initially (probably) small contracts from them. This really does have the chance to work, especially if they get the renewed gov contract in two years... which is likely considering gov spending.

    I realize that both of your UIDs are under five digits; but I must interject. She can post whatever she likes here, as can you sir. The problem with your response, however, is that it's attacking someone who is adding to the discussion in a positive way. If your problem is that she is somehow wasting your time by not supplying what you wanted to read, well then you certainly wasted a hell of a lot more by responding. Wouldn't it have been a lot easier to simply scroll through it?
    If your problem is that she gets modded-up simply because she's female, well, that's not her fault, it's the moderators. They tend to be nice to the women, as there are very few around here. I see no evidence that she mods herself up.

    The basic area runs between roosevelt and 18th St. on Ashland, the complex is behind "Pete's" little run-down hot dog shack. About six or so months ago, the guys watching the doors were called MeMe (4th flr 1520), WeWe (Security for 1433) and Cuelyn (1433 apt 901). Their code was "Get Little" for cops and "Coolaid" for clear, or all good. Also, there's supposed to be a little FUCK called Delaney who raped Mia last time she was there. Peace.
