If the libaries is licences with GPL you will have to GLP you product if it linkes with it.
If the libary is under the LGPL wou can link with the libary without having to (L)GPL your application.
You may be as sarcastic as you want but these people are making money where almost everybody else is loosing money, so they are obviusly doing something right.
Some free services are actually making money from adds. This pure internett newspaper in norwegian is actually so sucsessfull they have exspanded and startet also in germany
Like ordinary newspapers it has adds sprinkled around the page so even if you don't read them you are bound to glance at them.
Some people are complaining about adds in free services, IMO if you dont like the adds dont use the service. Then there will eventually be a balance between the services need to make money and the users that dont want to be bothered by
adds
I personaly hate web pages that pop up adds in a separate window, I will avoid these sites if there is an alterantive with less intruding adds.
I think/. own adds are OK, they are there, but they dont impose to mutch on my reading of the rest of the pages.
We have been building briges and buildings for more than 5000 years. We have buildt software
for less than 60 years, and most of these years the programs have been of a complexity compared to a small hut.
Modern compting power allow software that are of a complexity makeing the space shuttle look simple.
But we are learning, new paradigms and ideas for
how to create good software are beeing developed
and programing is moving from art to enginering.
BW has the copyright on the Calvin and Hobbels characters and any unautorised use of them is a infringement of his copyright.
Since BW has refused any licensing, any products with C&H's likeness is illegal (except the licensed copies of the strip itself of course).
If you prodused a product using the "Calvin and Hobbes" as a text and not their likeness this woud be covered under Tradmark law if the frase was trademarked.
Then again, if you somehow linked the product to C&H the philosopfers probably the use of the text woud be fair.
Since the point of GPL is to add to the Free codebase, the damages is not monetary but intellectual. So the awarded damages shoud also be intellectual, releasing the infringing code under the GPL as required by the licence.
I asume the infringement is in failing to release modified GPL code or code that includes GPL under the GPL.
Producers are constantly cutting scenes from movies so they escape the dreaded R rating. Not only do kids not see these scenes but no-one does.
If the scenes are cut maybe they were not so
important to the artistic value of the movie?
Of course the director might be pulling his hairs out in rage over the produceds decision, but somehow I cant cuite se them cut scenes from a
movie with serius artistic goals rater than
a commersial one.
I didnt have time to read the whole ting, it seemed to go some futher than just setting a rating:
All retailers would have to have a special license to sell "M" and "AO" rated games. "M" rated games must be put in a special section of a video game store while "AO" rated games would be put in a separate room.
In prinsiple I dont think rating is a bad ting, it tells you what you can expect. And if a 7 years old have to get his parent's permission to buy a gorry game I dont tink that is sensorship.
If games are excluded even for adults that is sensorship.
Now that I'm typing this, it sounds a bit funny, but I saw a post up there that said something about waterbeds not being patentable due to Robert Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land". So, if any scientist invents, let's say, a Warp Drive, will it not be patentable due to all the Star Trek series and movies?
He shoud not be able to pantent "device that gives starhip ability to travel faster than light", but maybe be able to patent "device that uses does X producing effect Y to warp space thus giving effect of above light speed of items inside warped space relative to items outside warped space".
... in Norway now makes it illegall to send someone a "commercial e-mail" without first
opptaining the recievers permission.
There is talk also about expanding this to
telefon sale, but some are conserned about
non-profit organisations that rely on gift/lottery sales generated by this.
Unfortunaly this law doesent help mutch as
(almost) all the spam I get are from outside Norway.
Being publiched in a scientific journal do not nessesary mean they think you are right. It means the article and the science behind it is of good
quality in a sense that it is possible to (try to) reproduce your exsperiments and data.
Reproducing experiments is not possible
with weather data spanning overe 30 years in the past, but still even using the same data you can
have different models that match equaly good.
We Norwegians like to look at ourselfs at the
most democratic nation in the world.:-)
Still there have been accusations against the largest political party here for using the
civilian inteligence POT (a brance of the police)
to keep track of political opponents.
And there is no doubt that people with "red"
political oppinions have been under surveilance,
a new law makes it possible for peole to se their
"folder" and lot of people have used this opportunity to see if what they suppspected was
true.
In mathematihics and logic these asumptions are called axioms, a set of axioms define a logical structure. Everyting you prove with these axioms are true within the logical structure defined by the axsioms.
Some of these logical struktures have proven very handy when describing natural phenomenom.
A public patent file woud encurrange a thoroug previus art search and carefull considerations not to make the claims to wide to avoid it being denied.
You woud want to be realy sure the patent application holds.

Any code I write is copyrighted by me and you can not distribute it without my consent, GPL is one way to give this consent.
