And there are very, very, very few works (as a percentage) that are still commercially viable after 28 years, and those that are have already made millions or even billions for the artist.
They have also usualy become part of culture and it's even more important to get that into the public domain.
The guy who's interviewed in the article says he used to recieve 22 movies a month and no longer does. Holy shit, don't these people have no life of any kind?
Email clients can bundle GnuPG binaries and talk to them via command line. There is no problem with GPL v3, certaily not as far as email communication is concerned.
Then Mr. Evildoer will have to release Red Hat's private key, if he can't legally do that he can't distribute GPL3 binaries signed by Red Hat with his hardware.
No (some) DRM enforces that (and often far more). He's not even giving up anything, he has no right to make unlimited copies as it stands. Anyway, this is not the kind of DRM the private key debate is about.
Just an eyeball test, but at least with real pages, not some artificial testing. My eyes tell me that Opera is a bit faster then Firefox and both Dillo and Links 2 in graphical mode render pages faster then I can follow. Anyway, unlike the page I'm not saying that I have teh factz.
Myth: Internet Explorer 6.x has much lower minimum System Requirements than Firefox 1.x. Reality: Firefox gives describes recomended hardware, Microsoft gives the bare minimum it will run on.
Myth: Opera (now 100% free) is the fastest Graphical Web Browser in Windows. Reality: Dillo or Links 2 would probably be faster if someone cared to compile them on Windows.
Myth: Internet Explorer 6.x is clearly faster than Firefox 1.x overall and is significantly faster from a cold start. Reality: The rendering speed diferences are insignificant and parts of IE are preloaded on startup, so it's not a cold start.
Myth: The sources speak for themselves and the facts are irrefutable. Reality: The site only lists supporting sources and ignores anything else. The "myths" best debunked aren't actualy widely believed. Just because you bold the word 'fact' every time you write it does not make it any more believable.
Not findable might describe it better. If the original BSD code was never popular you may not be able to find it even if it still lingers on a few ftp servers, you may not even know it has ever existed at all! The proprietary that included the BSD code usualy won't tell you that a big portion of what you have is available in that way, nor will it tell you what to search for. It will have the bare minimum copyright notice (Protions (c) John Doe 1995-1997) somewhere.
First: commercial != proprietry. Second: you are back at reinventing the wheel when the proprietry stuff fails, there are many scenarios. Third: you may not know that the BSD code ever existed, it may even not be available anymore.
Why should we pay development costs for wasted time?
Because that's how proprietry software works, for every innovation there are hundreds of reimplentations, BSD does not solve that, if anything it worsens the problem because more people add that one feature and close it up.
If you want to use our software; you pretty much have to give up your copyright legal protections.
Actualy you only have to give up a part of DMCA and only in the specific case when you include GPL3ed code into your copy protection mechanism. You still get all the standard copyright protections for yourself and your grandchildren.
By 2 p.m. the threat had been traced to a computer at the Newton Free Library. FBI agents showed up at the library asking to examine the computer to which the threat had been traced.
Or maybe 30 computers. A scaremongering article without superpolice with supertech just isn't the same.
Imagine the consequences of a nine-hour delay because some nitwit bureaucrat decides she needs to see a warrant.
Imagine the enourmous amout of personal information the suspect stored on that one library computer... Now imagine the time needed to search 30 computers for a needle that might not be there.
People contributing to Linux would be more likely to contribute to Solaris as well. Nothing prevents people to license their code under GPL2 or later no matter what most of Linux is licensed under.

Natural, it's artificial if anything? You don't call other things people choose to do natural or do you?
Something that nerds didn't knew already perhaps.
So?

Oh, also keep in mind that I was talking about the great majority of cases, sometimes BSD is the right license--Ogg Vorbis is a good example.
Adam, is that you?
Are you saying that the proprietary software development model is so bad that without free software gifts are needed to make it not suck?
Makes sense: RMS is a hacker.
Bitkeeper.
Except that it doesn't work quite like that for web based software....
The Association for Hell Minion Development boycots id software.
