But what if my work is 3/4 of the total project (line wise, funcationallity, etc)? Then it is primarily my work, but I still have to use your license. That sucks.
You are wrong. You have taken my rights to choose how my work will be distributed from me. If you used the BSD License, you would allow me to work with your product and I would be able to use and distribute it in anyway I please.
If I amworking with GPL project X which you created, I do not have the right to license my changes in anyway I please. I must use the GPL. In this way, I have no right to decide under what terms people will use my code, even if mycode is not the whole product. You are forcing your license and opinion about how my code should be licensed on me.
Based on the terms you describe, the something similar to Sun's Community Source License maybe what you are looking for. It is the only license I know of that will allow you to force that modifications be returned to you. Neither the BSDL or the GPL will do this.
However, if it is not that important that the code be returned, please use the least restrictive license possible, something like the BSDL or the X Windows License.
Read the story, these people used L0phtcrack to break into corporate computers, which is (and should be) a crime. They were not arrested for having L0phtcrack itself.
Ooo, I just thought, there is a really nifty matrix math program called "umatrix" in the FreeBSD ports tree. It is nice and small, it has very limited functionality, but I have solved more than one homework problem with it. It might make for an excellent starting point. The immediate draw back (for me anyway, since I do not know Italian) is that the comments and variables are in Italian.
I was sitting in my scientific computing class at Maryland learning obscure MATLAB commands. Before long I got to thinking about starting an open source clone of MATLAB. Let me know if you are interested here.
Myself and friends had the ending figured out about 25-30 minutes into the film. It was pretty formulaic. And after we guessed, all the Return of the Jedi references gave it away completely.
As far as FreeBSD goes, the new module loader will allow you to run the same of XF86 4 module on any OS, as long as it uses the same processor. So x86 Linux modules will run on FreeBSD without a recompile. Pretty cool huh!
Is this an advantage of the ELF format or is X doing something sneaky to make this work?
Why not use something like the FreeBSD Ports package management toolkit? It maintaines all the dependencies. It also provides simple install and uninstall mechanisms. In fact, I have never had a package installation go sour with this. In fact, the FreeBSD package manager was one of two reasons I dropped Linux completely. It is just that nice.
Quit bitching about the source being available! If you were half decent programmers, you'd sick a debugger on it and see what in the hell it was doing!
It looks rather the opposite, Lucent is not being raped by a community that believes nobody has the right to their intellectual property. And, while keeping up corporate good will, FreeBSD is just as free today as it was last week. This is the way free software should work and in this respect, the RMS/GNU agenda is a failure of ideology if not a failure of advertising.
Slashdot Mirror
I am not the only person who abuses English to further my cause on Slashdot. I am just the only one whose cause is BSD. :)

Thanks for the explanation, otherwise, I'd have bitched about being labeled a troll when this is clearly off-topic.

No, you do not give up your rights with the GPL. You force everyone else to. This is not unlike the UCITA (did I get the letters in the right order?).

I think FreeBSD and OpenBSD should follow up with similar offerings.
Oh come on, if you are brave enough to do it under your real name, you deserve karma points, not the karma hit :)

You have obviously never read the Constitution.
you have to be a genius to guess the ending

Your Constitutional rights only protect you from the government. They do not do a damn thing about protecting you from your employer.
Where is the Linux port to the luna68k or the x68k or the pc532?

As long as something is written portably, there will not be any portability issues. I know this sounds obvious but to most developers, it isn't.
As for among the BSDs, there is a high degree of *binary* compatibility in addition to source.
Considering that BSD has 14 years on Linux, seems to me more that Linix the newcomer recently fragmenting the market.
As a FreeBSD user, source regen is the only way I upgrade. :)

...someone sends a stack of them to Yahoo! to deal with their bandwidth issues? Or maybe Ebay? Or while we are at it, Slashdot could use them...

Kind of similar to the GPL, anything I create using Linux becomes the property of the community, to do with as they please...
Only under FreeBSD does a beta release crush the competition's production releases in reliability :)
