Your job is to edit submissions. Please learn the difference between the contraction "it's" and the possessive "its". You wouldn't get a volunteer job on a free student newsletter, so I can't see why you get paid a living wage for doing this professionally.
Also, I'd like to see wording that unambiguously distinguishes between a company obtaining a patent and employee of that company or a previous employer doing so.
My gut feeling is that this is a bridge too far for the GPL, and it will cause a schism between the FSF using GPL3 and, well, everyone else who will stick with GPL2. Including, I rather suspect, Linus.
That's why I said if you get caught lying. You can libel someone in court (by lying about them) and get away with it (without being convicted of perjury) if nobody calls you on it.
You can't be sued over what you only say in court. If you repeate the same slander or libel outside of court, you can be sued for that after the case has ended (regardless of whether you're found guilty of perjury), as SCO's executives might find out soon.
Court filings are protected. You can't be sued for libel in a civil action over what you tell a court; you can, however, be jailed for perjury if you're caught lying.
> Why should they expect to use something as complex as a computer while having no knowledge of what happens inside of them?
Maybe because they're not virgins who live in their parents' basement, and want to use a computer rather than maintain one. Dell, HP, IBM and, uh, Apple are doing pretty well out of selling computers + operating systems and software that just work.
No, what I'm saying is that I love Saddam bin Laden.
If you're going to erect a strawman, please don't make it such a ridiculous one. If you want a vehicular analogy, they were loaned a car and told that could drive it anywhere they wanted, as long as they only turned left. They figured out that the wheel could go right, and went exploring.
And that's why we're not still filthy ape men who either get eaten by wild pigs or die at 25. So are you saying that you want us to get eaten by wild pigs, or die at 25?
I hope that at least one of them fights it out, and makes the state (in all senses) that started this madness either see it out, or drop the charges altogether.
Any injury serious enough to need repaired using this Mutant Healing Factor(tm) is likely to prove fatal (because it limits food gathering) before it heals. Better to ask why it's not been seen in bigger animals with slower metabolisms. Consider that crodilians don't regenerate lost limbs but can survive severe trauma. If you had to pick one ability, the latter would be more useful, as it's a prerequisite for the former.
That means that when I follow the license terms of ***** that I can make and distribute copies of ***** without having to obtain any further permission from the rights holders of *****. I sure wouldn't want anyone to come along and try to restrict my rights to distribute ***** by demanding money or other terms from me, because that would be a clear violation of the license terms of ***** that cover much of the third party code contained within *****. Indeed, the only thing that gives the 'owner' of ***** the right to distribute that code is his continuing compliance with those terms.
I will stop downloading movies for nothing when you give me the opportunity to purchase for home use a legitimate copy of them the moment that they are ready for release.
In case I am not making myself clear, when you release Shazbang Kerblooey IV on cinema in the USA, I will not wait six to twelve months for a DVD release in my region. Once that film is ready to watch, I will watch it. If you don't make money supplying to that demand, you have no one to blame but yourselves.

Or perhaps someone who has bought it and received the source would like to share it.
No. No, it doesn't "just" say that.

But I wonder if they're going to be paid a visit by the Linux trademark police.
I've emailed them asking them what they've done to satisfy section 3 of the GPL version 2. I await their reply with interest.
LAUGH, IT'S FUNNY.
Moving the goal posts. Like in the movie industry, you're only as good as your last film. Keep up or drop out.
Well, then I don't give a fuck. Thanks for asking.
Way to cut off your nose to spite your face.

Let's see them filter all copyrighted content, and then we'll find out just how many non-infringing uses P2P applications actually have.
In a civil case the required standard of proof is balance of probability. Why must we have this discussion every time a court case comes up?
That's why I said if you get caught lying. You can libel someone in court (by lying about them) and get away with it (without being convicted of perjury) if nobody calls you on it.

Why don't you come suck it and see?
Buying an editor? That's pretty lame, even for Slashdot.

Then stop reporting it. These lawsuits are just cheap publicity.
We may now return to our scheduled wailing and ranting.
Please re-read my post and point out where I have a problem with the price of content.
