DavidGerardmini microsoft is (obviously) interesting todayMay 06 00:00
oiaohmIt more interesting to see how many staff they can afford to lose.May 06 00:06
oiaohmThat would be a nasty line to take the ODF failure of MS Office.   "Is the Failure of ODF support a sign that MS lacks the staff to support there software any more?"May 06 00:08
oiaohmThat would be out of the pure rules of FUD.    Create Fear Uncerity so putting the company who did it at risk.May 06 00:10

seller_liarwhat the extra moonlight clause measns?May 06 00:12
oiaohmLink to clause please seller_liarMay 06 00:14
seller_liarwaitMay 06 00:15
seller_liar In addition to the GNU LGPL, this code is available for relicensing for non-LGPL use, contact Novell for details (mono@novell.com).  We consider non-LGPL use instances where you use this on an embedded system where the end user is not able to upgrade the Moonlight installation or distribution that is part of your product (Section 6 and 7), you would have toMay 06 00:15
Balrog_wait a minuteMay 06 00:16
Balrog_they're trying to use LGPL 3 anti-tivoization without LGPL 3 patent clauseMay 06 00:16
seller_liarokMay 06 00:16
Balrog_:(May 06 00:16
oiaohmHang on that is breach of GPL.May 06 00:16
oiaohmYou are only allowed to use Section 6 and 7 in GPL to allow more than the licence would other wise let.   You cannot use Section 6 or 7 for limiting.May 06 00:17
seller_liarbut why not use lgpl v3 instead?May 06 00:17
Balrog_because of patent clausesMay 06 00:17
oiaohmNo LGPL licence is clear on that fact.May 06 00:17
seller_liarlgplv2 , not lgplv2.1 or lgplv3 protects microsoft-novell dealMay 06 00:18
oiaohmIf you want to limit you have to create a new licence like AGPL.May 06 00:18
oiaohmseller_liar that needs to go to the free software foundation.May 06 00:19
oiaohmNovell needs sueing.May 06 00:20
seller_liarOk, thanks I understandMay 06 00:20
seller_liarnovell does not use lgplv3 because of dealMay 06 00:20
oiaohmlgplv3 does not apply to any deal before its create.May 06 00:20
oiaohmSo novell could use it.  But they would not be able to make a future deal the same.May 06 00:21
seller_liarokMay 06 00:21
seller_liarBut I was thinkingMay 06 00:21
Balrog_wait a minuteMay 06 00:22
oiaohmseller_liar: will you email that off to the freesoftware foundation or do I.May 06 00:22
seller_liarProjects like dotgnu needs more attentionMay 06 00:22
Balrog_they're claiming that LGPL they're using forbids tivoizationMay 06 00:22
Balrog_"We only require licensing for uses of Mono and Moonlight on embedded systems, or systems where you are unable to fulfill the obligations of the GNU LGPL."May 06 00:22
oiaohmTivo uses LGPL.May 06 00:22
seller_liarThere's no need for this .I have understoodMay 06 00:22
oiaohmLGPL does not allow that split Balrog_May 06 00:23
oiaohmseller_liar: its illegal.May 06 00:23
seller_liarBut please, if you want ,send a email for sflc for more explanation about moondarknessMay 06 00:23
Balrog_or RMS himself?May 06 00:23
oiaohmPage link that its on seller_liarMay 06 00:23
seller_liarmaybe, But Sflc knows is betterMay 06 00:24
Balrog_okMay 06 00:24
oiaohmPart of my job I do embed stuff.May 06 00:24
seller_liaroiaohm: download moonlight and see the licenseMay 06 00:24
oiaohmOk now that is also a break of some countries laws where you must be able to see the licence before downloading.May 06 00:24
oiaohmOr the licence is rendered void.May 06 00:25
*_Hicham_ (n=hicham@wana-124-245-12-196.wanamaroc.com) has joined #boycottnovellMay 06 00:25
oiaohmThis is just getting worse.May 06 00:25
seller_liaryes ,Because I have not found the license before downloadMay 06 00:25
_Hicham_what is getting worse?May 06 00:25
oiaohmMono licencing it appears to completely screwed up.May 06 00:25
Balrog_http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/vi...May 06 00:26
_Hicham_is this just in?May 06 00:26
Balrog_Also they're combining LGPL and MS-PLMay 06 00:26
Balrog_not sure if that's ok ...May 06 00:26
_Hicham_MS-PL with GPL? what a shameMay 06 00:26
Balrog_see that licenseMay 06 00:27
Balrog_we're talking about the 'anti-tivoization provision in Moonlight's licenseMay 06 00:29
Balrog_oiaohm and seller_liar: still arond?May 06 00:29
Balrog_around *May 06 00:29
seller_liaryesMay 06 00:29
Balrog_okMay 06 00:30
Balrog_any ideas on what to do?May 06 00:30
Balrog_oh another thingMay 06 00:30
seller_liarsend a email to sflc about moonlightMay 06 00:31
seller_liarhttp://www.microsoft.com/interop/m...May 06 00:31
Balrog_I was told that the GNU licenses page used to say that Ms-PL was gpl compatible, but they changed itMay 06 00:31
Balrog_anyone has past pages or that kind of info? wayback machine doesn't have itMay 06 00:31
Balrog_Also MS discriminates against GPL3 in their covenantMay 06 00:32
Balrog_<< “Moonlight Implementation” means only those specific portions of Moonlight 1.0 or Moonlight 1.1 that run only as a plug-in to a browser on a Personal Computer and are not licensed under GPLv3 or a Similar License. >>May 06 00:32
oiaohmMs-PL is only compatible under particular conditions.May 06 00:35
oiaohmThat case it would be.May 06 00:35
seller_liarsee groklawMay 06 00:35
Balrog_which are??May 06 00:35
Balrog_URL?May 06 00:35
seller_liargroklaw have a discussion of sflc about microsoft-novell covenantMay 06 00:35
oiaohmYou cannot link MS-PL and GPL into the same program source.May 06 00:35
oiaohmThat case they are independant parts so independant works.May 06 00:35
seller_liarhttp://www.groklaw.net/articlebas...May 06 00:36
oiaohmSo compadible.May 06 00:36
oiaohmAdding conditions illegally to LGPL cannot be tollerated.May 06 00:36
oiaohmLGPL only can demard that you release your source code.May 06 00:36
Balrog_or claiming that LGPL2 forbids tivoizationMay 06 00:36
oiaohmThat is adding a illegal condition Balrog_May 06 00:37
Balrog_well it's worded as a claim, not a conditionMay 06 00:37
oiaohmLaw does not split on that.May 06 00:37
Balrog_ok.May 06 00:37
oiaohmTo the person reading is it a condition you would have every right to think you would have to follow.  If yes its a condition.May 06 00:38
oiaohmclaim is not a magical word under law.May 06 00:38
oiaohmI really suspect the MS-PL is the bit that truly forbids embeding.May 06 00:39
Balrog_this guy <http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/ion/new...> really messed with LGPL. That's why no one uses his software; it's basically unredistributableMay 06 00:40
*LastGuyonEarth (n=sean@173-29-123-36.client.mchsi.com) has joined #boycottnovellMay 06 00:40
LastGuyonEarthGood afternoon.May 06 00:40
Balrog_oiaohm: but you can build Mono / Moonlight without Ms-PL stuff ....?May 06 00:40
oiaohmThey also counld have put it on the MIT licence section.May 06 00:41
oiaohmNothing illegal adding a condition there.May 06 00:41
Balrog_yes.May 06 00:41
LastGuyonEarthI personally dislike how the MIT license gets used anymore, though.May 06 00:41
LastGuyonEarthCase in point, the Cedega developers caused a lot of problems by forking off the Wine code a few years back.May 06 00:42
LastGuyonEarthAlthough come to think of it, I don't really use much of either anymore.May 06 00:42
LastGuyonEarthBut I digress.May 06 00:42
LastGuyonEarthWhat I'd really like to see is a Free alternative to Flash and Silverlight that uses Javascript and OGG.May 06 00:43
LastGuyonEarthMaybe someday.May 06 00:43
Balrog_why not <video> tags?May 06 00:43
oiaohmBalrog_ I agree on that distribution one.May 06 00:43
oiaohmI have been against that for a long time.May 06 00:43
Balrog_oiaohm: which exact one ... IonWM?May 06 00:43
LastGuyonEarthBalrog_: I personally like the <video> tags in the new firefox, but I'd just like to see a framework as a whole be developed as an alternative.May 06 00:44
oiaohmThere are thousands of packages effected by it.May 06 00:44
LastGuyonEarthIt'd be especially useful for animators that want to switch from Flash.May 06 00:44
Balrog_yes, and I think such tampering with LGPL is probably illegalMay 06 00:44
oiaohmIncluding wine that I do support for Balrog_May 06 00:44
oiaohmSome places of the GPL world we need court cases to sort it out.May 06 00:44
LastGuyonEarthI have to admit, though, a lot of GNU/Linux apps have become quite refined, I haven't really used Wine-apps for a while now.May 06 00:45
LastGuyonEarthThat said, one person can not represent a demographic.May 06 00:45
oiaohmThat the way I recommend it.May 06 00:45
oiaohmIf native tools can do it use them.May 06 00:45
oiaohmWine is more of a stop gap.May 06 00:45
LastGuyonEarthEspecially if they're GPL-compatible.May 06 00:45
LastGuyonEarthYeah.May 06 00:45
oiaohmWine is not the most cpu friendly thing either.May 06 00:45
LastGuyonEarthWhat I think Free Software really needs are simpler ways to develop games.May 06 00:45
oiaohmthat will be blender soon LastGuyonEarthMay 06 00:46
LastGuyonEarthThe gaming community itself has so much untapped potential for Free Software/Free CultureMay 06 00:46
LastGuyonEarthAh, nice.May 06 00:46
oiaohmBlender is basically getting flow chart coding.May 06 00:46
LastGuyonEarthSo long as it runs well, I can't complain.May 06 00:46
oiaohmAnd its game engine updated to run extreamly well.May 06 00:47
Balrog_we're stuck with this at school: http://www.motionanalysis.com/html...May 06 00:47
Balrog_connects to IR cameras for 3d motion trackingMay 06 00:47
Balrog_it's expensive proprietary software, and I don't know of any foss alternativeMay 06 00:47
LastGuyonEarthAh yep.May 06 00:47
LastGuyonEarthHmm.May 06 00:47
LastGuyonEarthWell, I think an important thing to keep in mind is that the basic apps ought to be covered with Free Software alternatives first.May 06 00:48
oiaohmhttp://blenderartists.org/forum...  << look at stress test of new engine LastGuyonEarthMay 06 00:48
LastGuyonEarthDon't get me wrong, they're definitely getting there.May 06 00:48
LastGuyonEarthBut some apps/patents/licensing schemes are still largely problematic.May 06 00:49
Balrog_they also rely on VirtoolsMay 06 00:49
LastGuyonEarthAlso, packaging is still difficult for a third-party app vendor.May 06 00:49
Balrog_which costs a few thousandMay 06 00:49
LastGuyonEarth=(May 06 00:49
LastGuyonEarthMaybe someday. One can only hope.May 06 00:49
LastGuyonEarthoiaohm hopefully the new game editor in Blender will be highly extendible.May 06 00:50
DavidGerardBalrog_: the other reason no-one uses tuomov's software is because he's INSANE. he recently got kicked off the x.org lists for batshitnessMay 06 00:50
*_Hicham_ has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))May 06 00:50
DavidGerardthoguh before he did I splorfed at ajax responding to one of his rants "Also, time is actually cubical in nature."May 06 00:50
LastGuyonEarthlolMay 06 00:51
LastGuyonEarthTime is an abstract concept, in my opinion.May 06 00:51
DavidGerardi'm trying to think of the ultimate free unix distroMay 06 00:51
LastGuyonEarthOpenBSDMay 06 00:51
DavidGerardwe could get joerg schilling, tuomo v, hans reiser ...May 06 00:51
LastGuyonEarthNo binary blobs in it whatsoever.May 06 00:51
LastGuyonEarthThat said, I hear it's difficult to install.May 06 00:51
DavidGerardthey'd never be able to agree on the license, but that's okMay 06 00:52
oiaohmLastGuyonEarth: you have python engine on top of the flow chart coding so yep highly extendible.May 06 00:52
LastGuyonEarthI personally am hoping to switch to either BLAG or gNewSense sometime soonMay 06 00:52
Balrog_Jorg Schilling put together an unredistriutable app known as cdrecordMay 06 00:52
LastGuyonEarthoiaohm: awesome!May 06 00:52
DavidGerardLastGuyonEarth: nah, it's easy. it's command-line and does expect you to read the manuals.May 06 00:52
DavidGerardthat said, the manuals are EXCELLENT. really really good.May 06 00:52
Balrog_DavidGerard: easier than Gentoo? ;)May 06 00:52
LastGuyonEarthDavidGerard: Good to know!May 06 00:52
DavidGerardwhen i was learning solaris admin i'd read the openbsd man page to understand the command and the solaris man page for the switches on solarisMay 06 00:52
LastGuyonEarthAh, Solaris.May 06 00:53
LastGuyonEarthI quite enjoyed OpenSolaris for what it was.May 06 00:53
Balrog_(i,e, cdrtools)May 06 00:53
DavidGerardkey things about openbsd: 1. it does things properly. 2. it's very fussy.May 06 00:53
DavidGerarddoesn't work in some virtual machines because it's like a stress test for emulators.May 06 00:53
seller_liarvery hard to useMay 06 00:53
LastGuyonEarthInteresting.May 06 00:53
DavidGerardsome software just won't start on it.May 06 00:53
seller_liarunfriendly peopleMay 06 00:53
seller_liararrogant peopleMay 06 00:53
DavidGerardthey're ... uncompromising.May 06 00:53
oiaohmhttp://www.hitl.washington.edu/...  Ok with 3d human tracking how stupid do you want to look LastGuyonEarthMay 06 00:53
seller_liaris not user friendlyMay 06 00:54
DavidGerardsolaris is industrial machinery.May 06 00:54
DavidGerardplus point: it's predictable.May 06 00:54
Balrog_... seller_liar: who do you mean? Solaris Gentoo or OpenBSD?May 06 00:54
seller_liardoes not have gui installer , a little few distrosaMay 06 00:54
LastGuyonEarthoiaohm: I beg your pardon?May 06 00:54
seller_liaropenbsdMay 06 00:54
Balrog_okMay 06 00:54
seller_liarWhy to worry about security ?May 06 00:54
DavidGerardthat said, if you want a seriously secure external facing machine, openbsd is it.May 06 00:54
LastGuyonEarthLOL!May 06 00:54
oiaohmOpps wrong personMay 06 00:55
seller_liaropenbsd people focuses in stupid things like securityMay 06 00:55
DavidGerardand it's a bsd unix, it's really not that hard to use, and bsd is nice to administerMay 06 00:55
oiaohmIt was Balrog_ who asked about 3d user tracking.May 06 00:55
LastGuyonEarthoiaohm: It's fine! No worries!May 06 00:55
Balrog_yes, it wasMay 06 00:55
Balrog_looks interestingMay 06 00:55
DavidGerardbecause it's an evil internetMay 06 00:55
LastGuyonEarthDavidGerard: It's not all evil.May 06 00:55
LastGuyonEarthThere's identi.ca at least.May 06 00:55
Balrog_though they say "ARToolKit is made available freely for non-commercial use under the GNU General Public License. " which is contradictoryMay 06 00:55
oiaohmIt can do it single cammera as well Balrog_May 06 00:55
seller_liarDavidGerard: Evil is cause by humansMay 06 00:55
DavidGerardtheo de raadt is also fiercely dedicated to software freedom, even if he disagrees with rms almost by reflexMay 06 00:55
Balrog_should I fire off an email?May 06 00:56
oiaohmNot really.May 06 00:56
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: Ah, but evil itself is defined by society, whom I disregard.May 06 00:56
seller_liarDavidGerard: Of course , human systems tooMay 06 00:56
oiaohmIf you want to use it closed soruce you can pay a licence Balrog_May 06 00:56
DavidGerardLastGuyonEarth: that works as long as society disregards youMay 06 00:56
seller_liarDavidGerard: Evil is cause by human and human systemsMay 06 00:56
Balrog_yes, but 'non-commercial' ...May 06 00:56
LastGuyonEarthDavidGerard: Works for me then.May 06 00:56
oiaohmIts another QT style licence Balrog_May 06 00:56
Balrog_okMay 06 00:56
seller_liarIf we stop to produce more and more system , evil disappearMay 06 00:56
oiaohmThey don't class open source as commerial.May 06 00:56
seller_liarof  course, not entirelyMay 06 00:57
DavidGerard20 people want to save Vista!May 06 00:57
seller_liarbecause the universe is a systemMay 06 00:57
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: I think "evil" is present regardless of a system or not.May 06 00:57
DavidGerardthat's actually quite a worryingly large numberMay 06 00:57
DavidGerardhttp://www.facebook.com/group...May 06 00:57
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: People will always disagree and have struggles.May 06 00:57
seller_liarLastGuyonEarth: noMay 06 00:57
seller_liarLastGuyonEarth: If we stop to produce systems , the evil disappearMay 06 00:57
oiaohmLooking completely stupid with large processing power you can basically do human 3d tracking  with 1 cam.May 06 00:57
seller_liarLastGuyonEarth: But it's not impossible to destroy all systemsMay 06 00:58
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: Again, I don't see it that way. People will still kill another regardless of a system or not.May 06 00:58
seller_liarLastGuyonEarth: But it's not possible to destroy all systemsMay 06 00:58
oiaohmSo far no one has designed a tracking suit that looks good.May 06 00:58
seller_liarLastGuyonEarth:For example , the human body is a systemMay 06 00:58
LastGuyonEarthoiaohm: Ah well, as long as they work.May 06 00:58
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: I define a body as an organism rather than just a system.May 06 00:59
seller_liarLastGuyonEarth:The language is a systemMay 06 00:59
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: Political systems I usually disagree with.May 06 00:59
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: Language is a structure in my opinion./May 06 00:59
seller_liarLastGuyonEarth: Of course, but is a systemMay 06 00:59
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: You don't go to prison for defying language, body functions, or physics necessarily.May 06 00:59
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: But then, definitions and language have always been tricky.May 06 01:00
seller_liarLastGuyonEarth: Evil is generated because of lack of control of systemsMay 06 01:00
seller_liarLastGuyonEarth: Human can not control all systemsMay 06 01:00
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: I believe Evil is generated because the system is flawed in the first place.May 06 01:00
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: Or evil is simply labeled as such because it is misunderstood.May 06 01:01
seller_liarLastGuyonEarth: Yes law is a system .May 06 01:01
seller_liarLastGuyonEarth: But ,I consider all things a systemMay 06 01:01
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: Sometimes a very bad system.May 06 01:01
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: Fair enough.May 06 01:01
seller_liaratoms ,cells, language, cultureMay 06 01:01
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: What about abstract concepts, such as quantum physics?May 06 01:01
seller_liarThe big problem is in this era , the human creates a lot of systemsMay 06 01:02
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: Technically, they are a system, but they can only be thought of and calculated.May 06 01:02
seller_liarknowledge is a systemMay 06 01:02
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: I can't argue with that one. But knowledge is the greatest form of a system I've ever come across.May 06 01:02
seller_liarYes, but the big problem is not knowledge ,May 06 01:02
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: For knowledge redefines everything around you.May 06 01:03
seller_liarthe real problem is the excess of knowledge and systemsMay 06 01:03
seller_liarAll thing created in this world generates reactionsMay 06 01:03
LastGuyonEarthseller_liar: I can understand systems, but I fail to see how an excess of knowledge hurt anyone.May 06 01:03
seller_liarMore knowledge = more powerMay 06 01:03
DavidGerardLastGuyonEarth: too much knowledge and you end up a wikipedia administratorMay 06 01:04
LastGuyonEarthDavidGerard: LOL!May 06 01:04
DavidGerardand trust me, your productive life is OVERMay 06 01:04
LastGuyonEarthI feel bad about what Wikipedia is becoming...May 06 01:04
seller_liarIf you have a lot of knowledge you have more powerMay 06 01:04
LastGuyonEarthSo censored anymore.May 06 01:04
seller_liar"Power corrupts"May 06 01:04
seller_liarbecause you are a human and cannot control all knowldge you haveMay 06 01:04
seller_liarAnd this generates evilMay 06 01:05
LastGuyonEarthBut I myself do not believe in Evil.May 06 01:05
LastGuyonEarthI only believe in misunderstanding.May 06 01:05
seller_liarevery power of this world generates reactionsMay 06 01:05
seller_liarthe difference isMay 06 01:05
seller_liarsome reaction the human can control , others do notMay 06 01:06
seller_liarthe others are called "evil"May 06 01:06
seller_liarfor exampleMay 06 01:06
seller_liarHuman creates carsMay 06 01:06
seller_liarIt's very powerful butMay 06 01:06
seller_liarthe evil is pollution ,greed , money , and car asccidentsMay 06 01:07
LastGuyonEarthNo.May 06 01:07
seller_liarevery power generates reactionMay 06 01:07
LastGuyonEarthThe only evil I believe in is Hate.May 06 01:07
LastGuyonEarthFor Hate motivates all the terrible reactions of the world.May 06 01:07
LastGuyonEarthSounds a bit hippie-ishMay 06 01:07
LastGuyonEarthBut that's how I see things.May 06 01:07
seller_liarHate is lack of control tooMay 06 01:07
LastGuyonEarthIs it?May 06 01:07
seller_liaran exampleMay 06 01:07
LastGuyonEarthOr is Hate taking control in a negative form?May 06 01:07
seller_liarA human bornMay 06 01:07
seller_liarThe human borns with hate or hate is created in human mindMay 06 01:08
seller_liarHuman does not born with hateMay 06 01:08
LastGuyonEarthAre they?May 06 01:08
seller_liarHate is generated  by other humansMay 06 01:08
LastGuyonEarthAgain, is it?May 06 01:08
LastGuyonEarthAre aggression and hate learned, or parially inherent?May 06 01:09
seller_liarFamily creates hate , hate creates hate, society creates hateMay 06 01:09
seller_liarAgression =! hateMay 06 01:09
LastGuyonEarthMisunderstanding creates hate.May 06 01:09
LastGuyonEarthAggression begets hate, and vice versa.May 06 01:09
seller_liarAgression is a power to defend human against obstaclesMay 06 01:09
seller_liarBut human does not control agression too much ,May 06 01:09
LastGuyonEarthI lump it with violence.May 06 01:09
