"Additionally, prominent Apache hacker Roy Fielding claims that it doesn't really matter what the FSF thinks about the matter, because according to the Apache Software Foundation, derived works can just be distributed under the GPL."
Serisouly guys, whats the problem here? Simply modify one file and assign the GPL license to your derived works version.
How about a ReplayTV backend OpenSource application that emulates their servers. Even if this goes belly up, all of us that have already invested will still be able to use their units in the future.
Any takers? I would be willing to help out for what it's worth.

I've been using qconfirm http://smarden.org/qconfirm/ and it has eliminated my spam problems completely.
We have a nice web interface that our users can surf into manually releasing any messages that may be important, otherwise they sit in queue waiting for the sender to validate (confirm).
I have also eliminated the double bounce issues that sometimes would come up. Full details on this setup is listed at the above link.
Give it a try!

This is becoming more of an issue each day (slashdottting). Not to mention I bet the people that run the Slashdotted servers don't appreciate us taking them down so easily and fast so I propose a really simple fix:
1. Slashdot should take a snapshot of the article moments before posting and leave on file for atleast a day or 2 (or until requests for the article die down a bit).
2. Change out the Cached version of the URL after #1 is satisfied.
Should be easy. Or perhaps Slashdot can just include CACHE'd links from Google instead of the real URL?
Just think of the ramifications of this! This will cutoff any users that are not using a M$ browser. Why not consider the Liberty Alliance? I would trust their system before I trust M$.
Sorry, I've had enough doses of the popular 1984 book. The new thing you know your teleprompter in your house will be watching all our moves. Oops, thats already here and its called a computer.;(
How often to you see someone trying to twist or stretch technical issues to push the issue to one side? IE: How many companies/lawmakers do you find trying to pull a fast one on non-technical people in office?
Perhaps BIND is tired of "Racing" against the clock to fix their worthless products.
Check out DJBDNS. It kicks bind's but and every line of code is custom. Even his string libraries are buffer overflow proof. But, even if it overflowed, DJBDNS does NOT RUN AS ROOT.
Why in the world would you need to run a simple database lookup utility as root? Get a clue bind, you're played out now...
I have this device on my phone that I purchased at wal-mart. When I get a telemarketing call, I hang up and hit the button ($5.00 device) that tells the person (until they hang up) that the number they have called does not accept these types of calls. The best part of it is that the message repeats until they are long gone!!

We made changes to pfSense 2.0-BETAS that prevents the DNS rebinding attacks thanks to Craig's help.
Serisouly guys, whats the problem here? Simply modify one file and assign the GPL license to your derived works version.
It's been in current for a bit. I believe it was just backported. Cheers!

I hear you and those are indeed valid concerns.
:)
So why not just link to the Google Cache'd version?

Just some ideas from a long time Slashdotter.

Sure, and the smart guys will just use a standard HTTP/POST to their server and your proxy will let them right through.
OOPS! Sound's like you'll need ZoneAlarm or something else with that setup.

Hey IBM if your listening, OPEN SOURCE OS/2.

That's a great way to stab you know who in the back.

OMG.
It's pretty damn incredible, all...
I started playing at 12 AM last night and stopped to take a restroom break and realised that it was 6AM!!!!
Needless to say, its incredible.
Heh. I guess we can tell where the anonymous donor came from to get Linux running on the Xbox.
Think about it.
How many reviews of the same product does /. need in the same day? Just curious.
These really should have been combined into one post.

Try vmware...

The NSA site has been slashdotted! How hilarious!!!!!!
That's funny!! I never need to deal with DJ. You know why? His stuff just works without these headaches!

Check this quote:
Figure 1. SETI@home uses the National Astronomy and Ionospheric Center's 305 meter telescope at Arecibo, Puerto Rico.
Now wouldn't HAARP's efforts directly effect this type of technology??

Just my 2 cents...
My impression of this article was that the author was just trying to spread the word of BSD 'nixs.

Every OS has its advantages/disavantages. That's why the real computer professional knows when and where to use each OS.
Slashdot has a tendency to Defend Linux no matter what is said.. Even if it is not "slamming" content.
And you have to admit, Linux is the OS of choice for 13 year old script kiddies.
At any rate, let's keep up the good work on the fight to get OpenSource OS's on top!
