Before he placed it into the public domain, his qmail site had a wonderful "Information for Distributors" page. Maybe not technically a license, but when the copyright holder says
If you want to distribute modified versions of qmail (including ports, no matter how minor the changes are) you'll have to get my approval. This does not mean approval of your distribution method, your intentions, your e-mail address, your haircut, or any other irrelevant information. It means a detailed review of the exact package that you want to distribute.
it makes you think twice before including it in [your favorite distro here].
I resolved slashdot.org through the magic of dnscache. qmail dropped the news of your reply into my inbox. But do you remember the qmail/VMailer (now postfix) wars? Wietse Venema was there on USENET responding helpfully to potential users' questions & suggestions. Dan was there with a withering reply, if he responded at all. But I saw that qmail was Good (and also ready before postfix, and Sendmail 5 was killing me), so I chose it. Bind was the bane of my existence. Bugs, holes, bloat.
I'm saying that if Bernstein had worked a little closer with his user community, many more people would be happily using qmail & djbdns, and there might even be official distros that supported things like TLS & DNSSEC.
You know, it's a shame that djb couldn't play well with others. qmail & djbdns show that he really understood SMTP & DNS. Unfortunately, his dogmatism, odd coding style & disdain for comments, and his weird license (until he PDed them) kept both those products from evolving as they deserved.
The Berkeley Research Impact Initiative (BRII) will pay the article charge for all authors affiliated to the University of California Berkeley who submit to ERL, before 30 June 2009, subject to application.
.It seemed odd that both authors are at UCB, and that no other U.S. university has made the same offer.
You mean that people didn't know that he was a bad person? Mein Kampf was published in 1925. Plenty of time for people to figure out that he wasn't worth believing in. But they wanted to.
People don't want to believe in bad people? This thread is inherently Godwinned, so I can point out that A. Hitler enjoyed popular support until it became evident that the war was lost. People wanted to believe in him, even elected him Chancellor, because he promised them solutions. Yete nobody wanted to analyze what those solutions entailed.
It wasn't until after the war was over that you couldn't find even a single person who had ever supported him.
Over the years, paperback publishers have attempted to cut into the used market simply by narrowing the inside margins of their books. This forces you to spread the book open farther, leading to increased deterioration of the spine. Combine that with crappy glue, and you have a book that will fall apart after just a few readings.
I have paperbacks from the 60s that are holding up better than ones from the 90s.
What does the stimulus package have to do with this? All I find in the articles is
We still don't know about the government requirements coming out of the stimulus package, which could have a big impact on supply.
Does this mean more people will be employed in building data centers? Or simply that the gov't itself will require more space, as implied by the "northern Virgina" reference.
I forgot about the GPS. Let's see, you, a non-citizen, are standing in the street in front of your friend's house on the Elbonian equivalent of Elm Street, with a high-tech camera and a GPS device. Meanwhile, that nondescript building a block away is the People's Ministry of Anthrax...
You didn't say what countries you'll be visiting, but you should check with the locals before you do much photography. Even where not strictly illegal, you might find yourself answering some pointed questions if the cops see you taking panoramic views of anything even remotely "sensitive".
He was kind enough to set me up, via email, with a very lucrative business deal where I stand to make huge profits. Of course, my upfront costs keep mounting, but he assured me when he asked for my account numbers that the funds will shortly be directly deposited to my bank.

No Democrats agree with Hatch here. Right?
Yeah. I predicted this a month ago.
There once was a lawyer from Sverige
Who lived off IP theft hysteria...
You're lucky. The journal that published my monograph, "Trisecting Angles With Compass and Straightedge," charged me a bundle.
.It seemed odd that both authors are at UCB, and that no other U.S. university has made the same offer.
Is ERL for real? Is it customary nowadays for journals to charge $1900 to to publish an article?
Does that mean that the PP will be allowed to participate in future televised debates? Now that should be interesting.
Sorry about the dissonance between subject & content. That's already two issues.
Does the Pirate Party platform include issues besides copyright/privacy?

400 years ago? Are you saying that Bach, Mozart & Beethoven weren't dependent on patrons?

Why would anybody buy a dead monkey, even if it was fluorescent?
I wouldn't worry too much. As Scribd starts to compete with Google, their search rankings will begin to shrink, almost as if by magic.
Thanks much.

Hadoop's name (and mascot) came from Doug [the project leader] Cutting's son's yellow stuffed elephant toy.
