Well, as they've cur that off, I might as well post the contents of the front page from my cache (I only visited that and the licence page, posted elsewhere):
Welcome to openadaptor.org
openadaptor is a 100% Java/XML-based software platform which allows for rapid business system integration with little or no custom programming.
openadaptor can be loosely classified as EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) software. It is highly extensible and provides many ready-built interface financial components like Oracle, Sybase, TIBCO, as well as data exchange formats such as XML, Fix, Swift, and HTML.
And rates have been climbing towards unreasonable for quite some time. Basic cable rates of $40/month?!! DVD movies costing $25-30??!
That's not entirely fair. If you go back to 1988, the cost of a VCR copy of Ghostbusters (4 years old at that point) was about £100, maybe £30 for an ex-rental copy. Now you can buy Gladiator for £20.
If you buy a book, that doesn't give you the right to duplicate and distribute that book. What the GPL does is to give additional rights that copyright doesn't give you, but places conditions on the exercise of those rights. What I get annoyed about is stupid click-throughs that profess to take away my rights under the "first sale" principle without giving anything in return.
In October 2000, the Librarian of Congress completed the first rulemaking mandated by 1201(a)(1). One exemption was for "[c]ompilations consisting of lists of websites blocked by filtering software applications." 37 CFR Part 201. If the LOC rulemaking now legitimizes the use of a program such as the X-stop decoder to compile such lists, it makes no sense under any theory of copyright law that 1201(a)(2) proscribes the distribution of such a program,
I'm not sure that this is accurate. As I understand it, the exemptions are purely to the clause that prevents the act of circumventing the technological measure; creation of a device that curcumvents is still illegal. So, only cryptologists with a pad of paper and lots of time can decrypt filter lists; librarians aren't allowed to because they don't have the skill, and tools to do it can't be created.
ofcourse she didn't think it unusual. can't say more about it really, since I don't know the paintings in question. was it an art book?
Something like that. The school was named after an artist, Jean Hélion I think, so art was high up on their list. I just can't imagine it even being in a USA or UK primary school at all, let alone on the bottom shelf.
If you are right, the implications for DeCSS/MPAA/DCMA, as well as on Microsoft EULAs...
No, the implications are zero. They have expensive lawyers, therefore the law will never be interpreted in a common sense fashion. It will be interpreted in the fashion that reflects the training of the lawyers on both sides of the case, i.e. a very convoluted and ridiculous fashion. It's called job security, just like programmers generate obscure code so that only programmers can maintain it.;-)
The translation files are most likely a derived work of the original text strings, which are copyrighted by Sun and licensed under the GPL.
That's ridiculous! I'm sure no copyright court would consider menu prompts and little sentences explaining what a dialog does as containing any significant expressive content, and therefore copyright law does not apply, and therefore the GPL would not apply, even if they had started with the GPL version, which they didn't. However, what is relevant IMO is that copyright law forbids the copyright owner from determining how the user can use their product once they have legally acquired a copy of it. Therefore, I can use their localisation on Windows, because their licence is invalid under international copyright law. BTW, IANAL.
While SuSE sounds like they will do The Right Thing and GPL their mods, what's to prevent someone else from not doing that in an attempt to privatize the whole thing? The only way that I can see that happening is if someone with large clout does it. For example, if Compaq released "Compaq Office", a proprietary version of OpenOffice with their own extensions, and bundled it with every Compaq machine, then that would be something to worry about. Also, maybe someone like Red Hat could pull it off, but it would violate their company constitution. I wouldn't be worried about smaller players doing this, as they'll just get laughed-and-pointed-at.
There's a scene in Fight Club, just after the car accident, where Tyler is doing a speech while the picture fades in and out. On the VHS version, the fade is smooth. On the DVD version, you can see bands of shading, and as it fades in and out, the bands appear to move back and forth across the gradient. It was totally obvious to me that I was watching a compression cock-up when I saw it.
I was visiting a friend who works in a primary school (grade school in US, I think - age 4 to 10) in France. Their library had books on the bottom shelf that had paintings and photos of nude men and women in them, and she didn't think that there was anything unusual about it.
Surely, they've honored the GPL and made their source modifications public. I can't find them, though. Surely Feed Magazine didn't put it up without modifying even a single line. This is possible, I guess.
- Just say NO to intellectual property!
Firstly, nothing in the GPL requires them to distribute their source. Secondly, are you aware of the clash in combining that post with that sig?
Why doesn't anyone mention that this really needs to be a tightly controlled manipulation of CD45, rather than just a big, system wide shutdown?
I for one want a big red switch on the side of my head that turns on/off my immune system. If I want a week off work, I can just leave it off over the weekend. Oh, and a dial on my forehead to control my aggression, please.
Seriously, the "switch" thing is just a journalistic metaphor.

An AC posted it a while ago.
It does use XML. Look at the openadaptor.org website using guest/guest.

I can't find any clear references to actual sex taking place, though.
1. Am I correct

They didn't use any GPL'd material. They translated StarOffice, not OpenOffice.
I wasn't talking about this instance, as it looks like SuSE's weird licencing is temporary.

It's a post that passes the Perl syntax checker.
