  2. Re:Mono-cultures not good!!!!! on Netcraft Claims Apache Now Runs 2/3rds Of The Web · · Score: 5, Informative

    Problem with Zope is that it's often installed behind Apache which serves as proxy/urlrewriter and so Netcraft may only see Apache some times. (it correctly detects Zope for my own website though)

  3. Re:UCSD and the GPL on UCSD Squabbles with Student Website · · Score: 1

    For a time, at least, your software was modified to not use jaxml (my GPLed module) anymore, which is one of the solutions I indicated to your licensing officer. This is good behaviour, but it took a long time. Telling the contrary as you do above is a lie.

    I'll double check that this is still the case.

    As stated in the GPL, you're perfectly free to use your software internally if it uses my GPLed module.

    People you redistribute your module to, are not allowed to link to my module, so your software can't run unless you modify it to not use my work anymore. That's all and that's very simple to understand.

    Also if you really are the original author of the incriminated software, which I can't tell because you're anonymous here, I never received any answer from you but from both the licensing officer of UCSD and from a staff member who told me exactly "I'm not the author (that's XX YYY who has since graduated and pretty much disappeared)". Replace XX YYY with your own name, or ask me privately for the original thread if you're in doubt.

    Thank you for reading, anyway.

  7. UCSD and the GPL on UCSD Squabbles with Student Website · · Score: 1

    UCSD violated the GPL license and my copyrights on the jaxml Pyhon module during ten months. It was very difficult for me to make them comply, which they finally did.

    Not at all ! If you'd read below, he says that this problem is absent if people want to rewrite Unix this way, because all the interfaces are well known and so distributed work is doable.

    Is the "15 months" trip due to the ionic propulsion method ?

    "mental illness" means NOTHING especially here.

    Their behavior is not the one of the majority of people, that's all. Anyone is "mentally ill" if you choose the observer carefully.

    Are they right or wrong ?
    Do they choose to live homeless or not ?
    Do they suffer from "real" physical/physiological problems ?
    Or are they only "different" ?

    I thought we only "tattooed" pets, prisoners, jews, slaves, and now people who are/live "different".

    If this is true, then it's not about companies adopting GNU/Linux for use with their products. Instead it's about companies stealing others' work and claiming its theirs. I don't think we will miss them if companies like this go away, or bankrupt.

    Not "courriel polluant". In French, it's usually "Pourriel" which is a mix of "Pourri" (rotten), "Courriel" (email), and "Electronique" (electronic).

    And "Pourriel" is really good IMHFO (In My Humble French Opinion).

    At least it's better than the horrible "Tourne disque" they wanted us to use instead of "Disque dur" (which is the word-for-word correct translation of 'Hard Disk')
