No, this is where the bastard's right to swing their fists (or spew spam) meets your face. Robocalls do infringe on your freedom as they force you to do something you don't want (listen to drivel). Free speech is good only as long as no one is forced to listen to you.
Any person should be able to make a public speech. No one should be able to make a speech ON YOUR PROPERTY without your consent.
No, the GPL has a very broad range of OTHER licenses compatible with it. As long as you follow the spirit of the rules, it's unlikely your license will be incompatible with it.
In fact, any free but GPL-incompatible licenses tend to be either borderline free (advertising clause, immutable-but-patchable, etc) or specifically designed to be GPL-incompatible (CDDL, I'm looking at you!).
Yeah, no matter how clear it appears to me, it may be better to get a statement from the wolf's mouth. I mailed licensing@gnu.org asking for their word.
It would be implausible to list every single license on that page. That's why they don't list licenses used by just one project unless there's some special reason to do so.
debian-legal is a place for discussion, the final decision is made by the FTP-masters. And lo, libvpx cleared through NEW today, without any bumps.
The article is merely a trolling attempt.
Well that's how feudalism works - one set of laws for the serfs and another set for the masters.
The last guy who actually tried to apply the laws for serfs (cruel, yes, but consistent with neighbour countries) to masters (except for the voivod himself, of course) was Vlad Tepes, and look at what press he got...
We need to go back to the ideals of the revolution, where everyone was treated equally under the law.
Right. Show me just one revolution that did even the smallest effort at that. Every single revolution I can think of just replaced old masters with a new crop.
The phisher will just proxy your session to the real bank. Except, when you make that transfer, oops!, it will go to a different account. All while displaying the account you wanted on your screen.
tab-related trickery is of no particular use against SSL and cert validation,
And how exactly SSL would help in this case? The phisher will have a legitimate cert for *.scam.com, you're not going to catch it unless you notice the URL is wrong or you run Certificate Patrol.
a suggestion that the anti-communist witch-hunt by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s may have been justified.
Are you going to claim that it was not?
McCarthy did thoroughly trample upon due process, but the reasoning for his campaign was not unbased: the Soviet Union did in fact spend large amounts of money and influence to induce as much unrest and disruption as possible.
The problem with McCarthy was that he used hand-waving and demagoguery instead of putting much effort into investigating actual leads. Persecuting people for their views rather than actions didn't help, either.
You see, after two total losses in a short time period, I'd be suicidal to give reiser a yet another chance.
Of course, nearly all filesystem lossage is caused either by hardware failure or, on desktops, the wonderful nVidia drivers which until several years ago seemed to be worse than any single common hardware cause.
reiserfs is a nightmare if you care the slightest about safety of your data.
It comes from the guy who says any filesystem has to be recoded from scratch every five years. Having two separate machines have every single file >4KB shredded weeks after installing and some light use is appalling, especially that no other filesystem ever made me lose more than a handful of files per disaster (mechanical disk failures excluded).
In 2009, Michael Jackson's last words were "End software piracy" as the stolen copy of Windows XP that regulated his IV's drip failed because he had just passed the 30 days he had to authorize his copy.
Except, you know, only non-pirated versions suffer from this flaw. Unless that copy was literally stolen, that is -- but I have yet to hear about a case when someone actually pilfered boxed software.
Yay... a yet another attempt to work around the First Sale rules. All they're doing is relabeling part of the package, so instead it's an "add-on" now.
By "title updates" they really mean bug-fix patches. In other words, this "Online Pass" thingy is strictly negative.
A couple of cow orkers of mine say this Russian line all the time. Sadly, it doesn't sound as good in English: "we'll live ( = let's wait), we'll see, as said the blind guy".

Not yet, and since this /. story is going to be archived soon, I won't be able to post if I get a response after all.
A "BSD" license is open.
Especially in the nether region, inviting anyone like Apple to exploit you without giving anything in return.

It is not compatible with GPLv2. It is very clearly compatible with GPLv3 (at least the problem section pointed in the article).

AGPL is trivially non-free as well. Freedom 0 for starters.
So, one branch of the government (central) is a bunch of nazi control freaks, and another (local) is reasonable?
But too bad, it's the central one who gets to issue laws, and sadly, in this case it looks like the local initiative will be ruled illegal.
Seven is Vista with a small part of bugs fixed. There's no compelling reason to use it over XP, if you really need to use Windows.
And you forgot about Vista's main new features: DRM, Protected Media Path, trusted computing.

And usually, it's the UNCRACKED software that includes a rootkit these days.
Uh? How come? Firefox is tremendously faster on any page that has lots of ads and other crap, while Chrome is only somewhat faster on clean pages.
All thanks to Adblock for Firefox actually blocking the junk from loading while its version for Chrome merely hides the crap.

Or if you want to have any sanity in your VPNs.
Like, 10.X.X.*/24 is a physical network, 10.X.*.*/16 are networks at one localisation, 10.*.*.*/8 are all connected private networks together.
