I don't think this is true: Only the 15 most interesting (eg, spam probabilities farthest from 50%) are used --.2 isn't likely to be in the top 15, so putting these words in wouldn't likely affect the spam probability at all.
They only have to release the source for thier changes if they release the binaries for thier changes, and only to the people to whom they give/sell those binaries. If they keep the binaries for their own, in-house use, they don't have to give out the source at all.
I disagree with this. It depends entirely on the contract he makes with the client at the project's inception. If the agreement is that he supplies neither source code nor support, that's the ethical result. After all, I have no right to that copy of windows that came with my computer -- the license says so, even though I (indrectly) paid for microsoft to make it. Yes, contract work is a somewhat different situation, but the same principal applies. If he can convince the client to let him put it under some Free license, there's nothing unethical about that, and more power to him.
As a side note, putting it under a Free license (GPL, BSDL, whatever) doesn't necessarily mean he's going to release the source to the general public, or even at all. With the GPL, he only has to give the source to anyone to whom he supplies the binaries.
Who's to say that those security holes aren't supposed to be there? No license covers every possible function of a software product, and no user manual every possible use. So that's a feature, not a bug.;)
We still have the ever useless BogoMIPS! Once someone finds out the mhz/bogomips multiplier for the new generation athlon, clock speeds'll be easy to find.

Gotta love how they don't link to project Gutenberg on the books page.
Shouldn't that be 2pi (or 2n(pi), whatever)? Pi is only a semi-circle.

er, I meant to say I have no right to the source for that copy of windows... :o

Or you can live in coastal BC where it never drops under 10 below (Centegrade, for those of you who are thinking "10 below?!?! that's nuts!" ;))

Hey, thanks for the info! That's really cool! :)
300 MHz? That seems somewhat unimpressive... would someone mind educating me? :o
