Bush to Push Free Trade at Upcoming Economic Summit < http://voanews.com/english/2008-10… > Sensationalism won’t save the economy. 10+ trillion in debt renders the system stuck in a roadblock.

One key point: they turn savings into acquisitions, i.e. revenue and artificial growth. Apple now has more money than Microsoft. It’s easy to turn savings to sales… but for how long? Windows suffers. |

“Now we know. Watch out for Nokia. Microsoft suddenly likes the Eclipse Foundation too. Here’s the very smooth Sam Ramji on the subject. “It’s all about the developer,” he says. Well, not if you’re an end user. End users benefit from the GPL and we know it. There’s a project regarding Eclipse tools for Silverlight now. Just what you were hoping for.” |
Oct 26 01:16 |
| schestowitz |
“Not. It was probably predictable when Ward Cunningham left Microsoft to join Eclipse years ago. I believe it’s all part of Microsoft’s hatred for the GPL, its determination to kill it off and make everyone use BSD-like licenses instead (so it can proprietize whatever it pleases)..” |
Oct 26 01:17 |
| schestowitz |
“…and its determination to redefine Open Source to mean visible code that Microsoft controls through patents instead of copyright. If you are stupid, you’ll help them. Thanks for nothing, Nokia.

Im just a coder, not a financial/contract expert |
Oct 26 15:07 |
| GoblinRFD |
I cant work out what he is meaning by…..”Two notable works citing 6826744 are patents by IBM for machine constructed software and Microsoft for automated simulation of generated software. That’s right. Dinky little VCSY has such IP as a foundation.” |
Oct 26 15:08 |
| GoblinRFD |
do you have a clue about this? |
Oct 26 15:09 |
| schestowitz |
Benton? |
Oct 26 15:10 |
| schestowitz |
Os that a real name? |
Oct 26 15:10 |

Oct 26 15:10 |
| GoblinRFD |
Yeah it was part of Bentons argument |
Oct 26 15:10 |
| GoblinRFD |
and im not sure if Benton is his real name. |
Oct 26 15:10 |
| schestowitz |
IBM is still part of the patent problem. |
Oct 26 15:11 |
| schestowitz |
And yet, IBM won’t attack developers of free software, whereas Microsoft might. It’s still intimidating. |
Oct 26 15:11 |
| schestowitz |
IBM could go nasty as well (maybe even Sun) it its survival depended on it, but the management isn’t scummy, so I tend to doubt it. |
Oct 26 15:12 |
| GoblinRFD |
this may sound thick, but how? I have assisted on opensource projects, s/ |
Oct 26 15:13 |
| GoblinRFD |
and I just cant understand how MS or IBM could threaten opensource. |
Oct 26 15:13 |
| GoblinRFD |
the reason Im asking is that I am new to the legal theory behind it. |
Oct 26 15:14 |
| GoblinRFD |
I have never paid it any interest in the past and just kept “doing my thing” |
Oct 26 15:15 |
| GoblinRFD |
so all these debates by the likes of Benton about the end of opensource are pretty alien to me. |
Oct 26 15:15 |
| schestowitz |
What context did that appear under? |
Oct 26 15:16 |

Masnick is verbose, “ Thus, his argument is that we really should focus on mechanisms to avoid lawsuits to allow those products to move forward. Thus, licensing is preferable to lawsuits. That’s true, but misses the point. The fact that no complex product can be brought to market without violating numerous patents should be seen as the problem, rather than a truism that is solved through licensing. “ |

Oct 26 22:31 |
| trmanco |

Oct 26 22:36 |
| schestowitz |
PetoKraus: almost nothing. Flash = video. |
Oct 26 22:40 |
| schestowitz |
That’s what brought Flash back from the s*can. |
Oct 26 22:40 |

Many devs abandoned it for reasons to do with standards. Then streaming video came along. |
Oct 26 22:40 |
| schestowitz |
trmanco: please send. |
Oct 26 22:40 |
| MinceR |
and devs forgot there are sane formats for streaming video already. |
Oct 26 22:41 |
| PetoKraus |
yeah… |
