In essence, video clips are just advertising, and based on that, this move would not qualify too much on the revolutionary side of things.
But, if you think about it as a political statement, it's a very good thing to do in dark times like these.
Think about how many folks are going to see such a license for the first time on their lifes. Think about all the fan-kids out there with garage bands that will start seeing open licenses as something cool. Think about how many media droids are going to need to educate themselves on the "open" movement to be able to write a comment on that.
Of course, none of this could happen, but how can we know?
It's on Chile, but probably it has been funded by US or EU governments. This kind of deal is very common. Some country have a spot with the perfect conditions for a telescope: really dry water, few particles in suspension on atmosphere, few (or none) cities with night lights near. And another country (or a consortium of rich countries) have the money to build such a beast. It's just another example of how science can work to narrow the stupid borders politicians and warmongers built in the world.
Nokia 770 is such a stupid device, than telling anything about it (and making sure people knows it runs GNU/Linux) is the perfect thing for a Microsoft affiliate to do.
Nokia 770 problems are not because of Linux, of course. But surely MSNBC wants business people to do the linking in their minds.
Not so fast. have you ever read the license? Basically merely by looking at sun JVM code you are agreeing to a lot of things that basically means that you'll never be able to work in a competing VM for the rest of your life, unless you want SUN lawyers coming at your heels.
Hey man,
they are not killing collaborators, you know that. They are killing everyone that happens to be in the way of their bombs. they are not putting bombs on military installations or even government facilities, they are putting bombs in front of schools, mosques and hospitals. It takes a bit of truth-streching to compare that with french resitance.
And by the way, I don't know in which world do you live, but in this world an absurdely high proportion of the iraqi terrorists are not from iraqi after all. See the lists of suicide bombers, and on the majority of cases they are from Siria, afghanistam, Arabia and so on. So, too much for your argument.
Have you seen boy? they had elections, most of the iraqi people voted (different from americans, they value the right to vote) and all they want is to live peacefully. If there were no terrorist attacks financed and operated by non-iraqi nationals, probably the US troops would had gone away a long time ago. But each terrorist attack makes more difficult to the US to retire their troops. The terrorists don't want to free their country. They want to cause instability, to make the elected government to resign, and to stage a coup of state against those who have been democratically elected.
That you don't like americans tatics in iraqi is one thing, one thing that probably I could even agree with you, that you don't like Bush's way of doing things, ok, I can also agree with you. But don't come calling suicide baby killers freedom fighters, and don't be so silly as to compare those monsters with the heroes from french resistance.
Things don't get more expensive because the seller needs to make more money, things get more expensive because the BUYERS are willing to PAY more.
For example, I surelly will go fine with a higher salary, but unless i found someone WANTING to PAY me more money, I won't get too far just by asking more money because I want a new fancy sports car.
If it's true that concerts are getting more expensive after the rise of P2P, the only thing that can be said about that is that P2P is good for artists, probably, because, as more and more people get to know them from shared songs, the more people is willing to see them live when they come to their city.
Even that is only a theory, but at least it makes a lot more sense under economical theory that this laughable theory that concerts are getting more expensive because of those bad p2p folks.

I was wondering how this would affect ham radio on the bands that use ionospheric propagation.

Gosh! What other old-times bugs are coming back this season to haunt us? Natural, Adabas, COBOL?
