If you had read the article you would have seen that "OSDL [getting] greedy" was that they merely refused to stop funding a guy who also, in his spare time and not being paid by OSDL, was attempting to reverse-engineer BitKeeper.
I thought that Tim explained it very well. People (Customers) want to control their own destinies especially when it comes to their data, processes, infrastructure etc.
Sure the Vendors want to build their own proprietary piping (because they control it) but as customers begin to see those open-source guys getting some really serious piping work done they are going to be interested in it. Because it allows them to use the free piping or easily expand, reuse for their own needs.
The piping example isn't a very good analogy to use though.
The point is everyone wants to be in control of their own data (with XML etc) and their infrastructure (Open Source).
IANAL and all that but I think the NMap folks are on shaky ground here. SCO has not attempted to "copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the [NMap] except as expressly provided under [the GPL]".
They have attempted that with the Linux kernel however. So I don't see how SCO has violated the GPL with respect to NMap.
I do approve of the effort however.
Good luck with that
"Prior to IBM's involvement, Linux was the software equivalent of a bicycle. UNIX was the software equivalent of a luxury car."
Cute. Then why are you selling Linux SCO?
Some other examples of social engineering are found in Catch Me If You Can. A very enjoyable movie about the exploits of Frank Abagnale Jr. I just saw it the other day and really liked it. DiCaprio did a really good job in this. I guess the guy can act after all.:-)
Actually I believe that it was Compuserve and yes it was GIF. That is the reason that the PNG format (pronounced 'ping') was developed. Besides PNG is technologically superior to GIF.
Will it be time to create a patent free alternative to JPEG now?
Yes, It is a fork. If you look at the project page, you'll see that openMosix split from Mosix because Dr Barak wanted to move from the GPL to a proprietary license.
Moshe Bar, who worked with Barak on Mosix, took the GPL code and created the openMosix project.
I read an interview awhile back with Moshe Bar, but I can't seem to locate it.
From the article:
"If it takes three minutes for a response, it is not really HTTP any more," Box said. The problem, said Box, is that the intermediaries--that is, the companies that own the routers and cables between the client and server--will not allow single transactions that take this long.
What do the intermediaries care. It's just packets. They don't care how long it takes for the response.

What are the rules on the DeCSS code. I know that you can't publish it on the internet or link to it.
Could it be read over the internet, like the Linux kernel code?
If it could be read on the internet by a computerized voice, I'm sure that you could use voice recognition software to transcribe it....And Whammo...
DeCSS code distribution.
I't probably wouldn't be legal though.
Bummer.

The problem with your thesis concerning post-9/11 movies is that these are all Pre-9/11 movies. It takes more than a couple of months to make and release a movie.

For the record:
A long row to hoe
IOW... A long row of plants to weed.

Not OSDL's problem.

Yes they have said that the GPL is invalid.
However with respect to NMap and SAMBA they appear to be in compliance with their obligations.
I doubt that their statements would constitute a breach of the GPL under the law. However, IANAL.

Then try Synaptic It's a desktop, graphical APT.
This is the same review that is on Amazon.com.
It is the first customer review.

The author (in-part) acknowledged that by mentioning that Debian has more lines of code than Red Hat and fewer exploits.

broadband users doubled in about a year then why are all the broadband companies dying? I'm not trolling. Just asking.
