Hope you had a nice Xmas. I'm going to make a prediction that now that the EPO is getting rid of purposive selection for novelty and also increasingly relying on 'pointers' for establishing which combinations have basis, other aspects of added matter/priority are also going to get reevaluated in the coming years. I think we'll essentially see a backlash against the present strictness, and further I believe UPC case law [07:36] schestowitz , supported by the influence of the EU, will become intertwined with EPO case law, leading to much more leniency at the EPO. The leniency will come from the UPC realising it needs to be less formalistic than the EPO when acting judicially and deciding on huge amounts of money to be given in damages. At the moment the EPO doesn't really see see the financial implications of its decisions and therefore has become too abstract and academic [07:36] schestowitz . The UPC powered by the EU will force the change" [07:36] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | Unambiguous disclosure without patent profanity (T 2171/21) - The IPKat ● Dec 28 [09:27] schestowitz %

    Does Wayland really break everything?
    [09:27] schestowitz
    [09:27] schestowitz

    Now, even though Wayland wasnt designed to be a drop-in replacement for X11, it was certainly intended to eventually replace it. But this implies that it was intended from the start to do less than X11, and and that would be correct.

    What comes after open source? Bruce Perens is working on it

    [09:42] schestowitz

    Bruce Perens, one of the founders of the Open Source movement, is ready for what comes next: the Post-Open Source movement.

    [09:42] schestowitz

    "I've written papers about it, and I've tried to put together a prototype license," Perens explains in an interview with The Register. "Obviously, I need help from a lawyer. And then the next step is to go for grant money."

    [09:42] schestowitz

    Perens says there are several pressing problems that the open source community needs to address.
