  1. Re:Depends a bit on what you do on FSF Releases AGPL License For Web Services · · Score: 1

    The problem I see with this is that we're using module X which is standard perl license, but module X uses module Y which is AGPL.
    So we have hidden license violation, because you're using AGPL module, though indirectly. This situation can uncover in many months after deployment.
    So now you not only check license of modules, but also all dependencies. Which could be PITA in any even middle-scale project.

  2. Re:Depends a bit on what you do on FSF Releases AGPL License For Web Services · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What really disturbs me is that if someone makes use of, say Perl modules, released under AGPL, even if you're not directly using them, and not even aware, this makes all your custom app code AGPL too?
    Or this is LGLP-like license, where you can freely use LGPL libraries and keep custom code private?
    Can someone explain if this is going to happen?

    He's now General British in Tabula Rasa. Also he's going to fly to ISS as space tourist very soon. Pretty exciting stuff.

  8. Richard Garriot, The Lord British on Tabula Rasa Goes Live · · Score: 1

    I have huge respect and appreciation for this guy. Perhaps for guys who are around 30 as me, UO is the first and only MMORPG played. Everything other is just "not there".
    Unfortunately I have grown out of MMORPGs and have better things to do with my time and life. Still I remember how much fun it was and I certainly miss that fun. If the guy manages to spark my obsession for defending virtues and building my character/interacting with other ppl again, I'll be very glad. We'll see.
    Glad to hear that Richard Garriot is back to MMORPG production again. Certainly this benefits all.
    Keep up with good work, Lord British!

  11. No news here.. on ICANN Investigates Insider Domain Name Snatching · · Score: 1

    I suspected this for years, when circa 2003 I ran whois query/dns searches on short and very meaningful domain in .com, just perfect to suit my needs, which was registered 1 week later! Guess wh was the registrar? Some squatter.
    After that I just go and register domain in 1 transaction - using registration form as whois/dns lookup and then immediately check out.
    From 2003 I registered 4 domains and this rule worked pretty well.
    Also I have one story when one not so expensive registrar just snatched domain from legitimate user. This is scary stuff. All registration are electronic, which means you even don't have a paper about domain is yours.
    I guess all we can do is to bring as much attention to these cases as possible.
