The GPL doesn't restrict your rights, it grants you rights. Therefore, an open ended version 2 or later clause is OK, since it can only grant you more rights, it cannot take any rights away that you already have.
How much Apple sells the music for, should not affect the artists. The music companies are free to pay one artist 1 penny per song and another artist 1.001 pennies per song, same as they are doing with CDs...
The military exists to protect the citizens. Many restrictions on commercial industry don't apply to the military industry. Consider being prevented from making a weapon since your enemy holds the patent on it - duh...
the trouble is that cell phones use digital signal processing to do their thing. They contain enormously powerful processors to encode and decode voice and even some radio functions are now done directly in firmware. Therefore, the user functions are really just a trivial add-on to the phone.

If the motors are on the car, then you need to get energy to the car, which is an unnecessary complication. If you simply pull the rope, then the motors can be on earth and in orbit. The system will have significant inertia, but the only weight that you have to shift, is the difference in weight between the up and down parts. Yes there can be multiple cars. This is just a very large ski lift.
The Pacific Ocean is mighty quiet in places, that is why it is called that. There is also an area in the Atlantic Ocean, called the Doldrums, where there is almost no air or water movement. Sailing ships used to get trapped there and had to row out. Also, you don't need to anchor the bottom end, just keep the tension in the cable steady.
The carbon fibre cable would be incredibly light. Compared to the weight of the cars, an assumption of zero mass for the cable is feasible. Anyway, it doesn't matter much, since the cable runs in a loop.
The net weight that you have to lift if the cable loops, is only the difference in weight between the two cars. The weight of the cable itself is in balance, so it doesn't matter - it just has to be strong enough.
The force in a rope is always tension and always the same everywhere along its length (assuming zero mass). You can't push a rope.
Therefore, a system with two cars and pulleys will always be almost in balance. The actual force in the rope will change depending on where exactly the cars are, due to centripetal forces.
The 'almost' is due to taking up more stuff than you are bringing down, or the other way round if you are mining a solid naquata asteroid, or due to a load of gold plated latinum as payment from the Firengi...
By keeping the system in near balance, the energy required is much reduced and you don't need any friggen sharks with lasers on their heads to power the system.
First of all, the ribbon idea won't work, it will get curled up since it will stretch unevenly and wind and dirt will do the rest. The only practical shape for a rope is a round one.
Secondly, building a climber with motors and lasers and crap is totally ridiculous, unbalanced and inefficient. Put a friggen pully at the counterweight, with solar panels and an electric motor and another damn pully at the bottom with another motor, then run two cars up and down. Then the system is balanced. Yes, the two cars will probably bang against each other when passing - so slow down when halfway and shape them to handle it so they won't get stuck even if the ropes are twisted.
KISS.
Yes, I have experienced that. Send police with a couple of squad cars into a riot and people die - the police have to shoot to save themselves. Send in the army with 100 armoured cars and the troops end up playing soccer with the local kids, since there is just no point in arguing with 1000 men in body armour...
In New Orleans, all the upper class people got into their SUVs and left town, so guess who stayed behind - the moment the National Guard and army got into town, the crooks lay low. The crooks are always with us - there is only a thin veneer of civilization over things.
Yup, this is a Canadian program and there are free solutions for our payrol taxes available from the revenue agency, so payrol wasn't a priority.
However, you could ask Dieter Simader to create it for you.

Easy - all you need is a Word macro that launches OpenOffice.
I am glad to see that the crime rate in the US is so low that the FBI can afford to do this.
Don't think that is possible.

a. Only the copyright holder can change the license.
b. If v3 is less free than v2, then v3 will die out.
It is governed by Thermodynamics:
In a GNU system, freedom always increases.
does it run on GLAMP?
G/LAMP otherwise, although Perl programmers may need to make it G//LAMP...

This is international, not just USA. Patents don't apply to military devices. Someone needs to be clobbered with a clue stick...
Well, if you ever meet a real flag waving, bible thumping, assault rifle toting, American patriot, then you'll understand...

Ughh - you are confusing cause and effect. The attackers are a bloody nuisance, but they do not cause the security problems in the code.
Hey, what is going on? Nobody posted "In Korea only old people..." yet.

Hmm, I have IE on my Linux desktop, just for shits and giggles really, but it works on CxOffice.
Hmm, I wonder how many will recognise that quote of Cato.
