oiaohmopenssl is just a great example of what happens when stuff is not checked by upstream and upstream tests have a flaw.Sep 16 00:00
*sebsebseb has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)Sep 16 00:00
oiaohmAnd why changing optisation flags away from what upstream has tested can equal nightmares.Sep 16 00:02
oiaohmI cannot count how many people have came into winehq with a wine problems that traced to them playing with optimisation flags in compliers.  Ie wine is picky.Sep 16 00:03
oiaohmI have had 4 in the last month alone but its been a slow month for it.Sep 16 00:04

Diablo-D3what happened to the guy building wine debs for debian?Sep 16 00:05
oiaohmHe has left for Ubuntu because he is pissed off with debian 32 bit support on 64 bit systems.Sep 16 00:05
oiaohmIe particular 32 bit libs wine needs are not in the ia32 packages.Sep 16 00:06
oiaohmAnd I do mean needs without out them lots of applications don't work.  Diablo-D3Sep 16 00:06

Diablo-D3steam and a few games workSep 16 00:09
oiaohmBasically he got sick of being on the recieving end.Sep 16 00:09
Diablo-D3although I still have the source games randomly shitting themselves problemSep 16 00:09
oiaohmFor debian problems.Sep 16 00:09
oiaohmThe problem effects lot of CD based games.Sep 16 00:09
oiaohmNot online provides like steamSep 16 00:10
oiaohmIe particularlly CD drive labels not being extracted so game cannot find it CDSep 16 00:10
oiaohmYes lots of people effected.Sep 16 00:10
oiaohmHe still builds the ubuntu wine packages in a way they can be installed on both. But not offically releasing for debian means he has out if something don't work.  Diablo-D3Sep 16 00:11
Diablo-D3hrmSep 16 00:14
oiaohmWhen he stopped I looked at taking up Debian package production.Sep 16 00:15

Ziomatrixoiaohm: I know, you license it blah blah blahSep 16 00:21
oiaohmNow not all companies have bad licences.Sep 16 00:21
oiaohmPeople need to wake up and start being licence picky.Sep 16 00:21
ZiomatrixI wonder if this ruling which could effect EULAs and make them more legally bound may nullify business's ex-post facto ability to amend them for all customers: http://tinyurl.com/38r66rySep 16 00:21

oiaohmHeck I still meet many people who have never read a software licence.Sep 16 00:22
oiaohmSoftware licences should be treated like contracts.  You should at least read what you are agreeing to.Sep 16 00:23
Ziomatrixoiaohm: a EULA still shouldn't reign over common lawSep 16 00:23
oiaohmEULA is copyright.Sep 16 00:23
oiaohmWhat gave you the right to make a copy of it.Sep 16 00:23
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[schestowitz/@schestowitz] @webmink the OSI Web site has been down for many hours and I'm sad you don't write there anymoreSep 16 00:24
Ziomatrixoiaohm: if its legally binding then companies should also follow by the rules and do no ex-post facto willy nilly like Sony has done with the PS3Sep 16 00:24
oiaohmAnswer question were did you get the legal right to make a copy.Sep 16 00:24
oiaohmThis is a common law problem ZiomatrixSep 16 00:24
Ziomatrixoiaohm: this is not about copying, its about businesses making and breaking whatever suites there interests in bad faith to their customersSep 16 00:25
oiaohmIt is about coping.Sep 16 00:25
oiaohmEULA and GPL are both copyleaf style licences.Sep 16 00:25
Ziomatrixoiaohm: what does SCE removing a feature and risking the breaking of older PS3 consoles in the process constitute a justification in terms of copying?Sep 16 00:25
oiaohmDid you not read the licence.  ZiomatrixSep 16 00:26
Ziomatrixoiaohm: what does it have to do with Apple's antics concerning using your product with applications not iTunes approved?Sep 16 00:26
oiaohmYou agreed to allow updates.Sep 16 00:26
oiaohmof anyform.Sep 16 00:26
oiaohmStiff.Sep 16 00:26
Ziomatrixoiaohm: what if the license changes from the one I formally agreed to in order to cover up what they could have breached with you?Sep 16 00:27
oiaohmThat was in the PS3 licence as well.Sep 16 00:27
oiaohmThat you granted the right that they could change licence.Sep 16 00:27
oiaohmSome licences pure sux.Sep 16 00:27
Ziomatrixoiaohm: but ex-post facto breaks Constitutional LawSep 16 00:27
oiaohmNoSep 16 00:28
Ziomatrixoiaohm: how can they change the license to something I never upgraded to or only after I buy it?Sep 16 00:28
Ziomatrixoiaohm: in fact how can a EULA be binding if they only present to you after purchase?Sep 16 00:28
oiaohmEULA if you don't agree allows for it to be returned.Sep 16 00:28

oiaohmSo yes at the EULA point you still have the legal right to choose out.Sep 16 00:29
Ziomatrixoiaohm: what if the retailer you bought it from doesn't allow full refunds on unsealed products?Sep 16 00:30
oiaohmThen retailer is in breach of supply contract.   ZiomatrixSep 16 00:30
Ziomatrixoiaohm: or perhaps you don't agree with the updated EULA and what it concernsSep 16 00:30
Ziomatrixoiaohm: perhaps that should mean retailers should uphold returning a product for full refund at any time regardless of use?Sep 16 00:31
oiaohmRetailer can avoid EULA returns by providing EULA to you before you leave store.Sep 16 00:31
oiaohmSo if they are complaining about broken packages they have broken policies.Sep 16 00:31
oiaohmThere are limitations in how a EULA can be changed normally stated in the EULASep 16 00:32
oiaohmAs along as the alterations are inside those limits you agreed to it.  ZiomatrixSep 16 00:32
oiaohmProblem was PS3 had very wide limits.Sep 16 00:33

Ziomatrixoiaohm: however the older EULA concerned software and service changes in reflection of PSN access. However, the reality is you need a firmware update for disc based games and even new movie titlesSep 16 00:34
oiaohmIts bit like GPLv2 and latter.  You agreed at the time that a latter version of GPL licence can be used.  No matter how different.Sep 16 00:34
Ziomatrixoiaohm: but then how does Google get away with only following GPLv1?Sep 16 00:34
oiaohmI don't know of anything google does that is GPLv1Sep 16 00:35
Diablo-D3gpl v1 doesnt even existSep 16 00:35
Diablo-D3it was stricken from the history booksSep 16 00:35

Ziomatrixoiaohm: so you're basically saying whatever you sign in an EULA you're screwed to follow?Sep 16 00:47

Ziomatrixoiaohm: in your opinion is there any reasonable limit someone could just proclaim it to be ridiculous and have it overturned in court?Sep 16 00:47
oiaohmIf it breaks a law then you don't have to follow it.  ZiomatrixSep 16 00:48
oiaohmBut Microsoft is careful to include a clause that each part is independant.Sep 16 00:49
bruce89I just used pictures I took myselfSep 16 00:50
oiaohmYes basically screwed to the same ammount as signing a contract then trying to back out because you did not read it even that you had the chance.  ZiomatrixSep 16 00:50
Ziomatrixoiaohm: I read it, which is why it infuriates me SCE has the ability to change it on the fly to whatever suites them for future upgrades even if you originally had no intent to agreeing to such terms if you even thought of the possibility of them coming about before giving them your hard earned moneySep 16 00:51
oiaohmSorry you agreed to allow the licence to be changed.Sep 16 00:52
oiaohmGPLv2 or latter would fall apart developer down the track could change the mind and say no the licence cannot be changed.Sep 16 00:53
Ziomatrixoiaohm: so then what grounds do some have to a class action lawsuit, besides addressing grievances?Sep 16 00:53
oiaohmYou could be able to apply for refund based in reduced funtinallity of the device.Sep 16 00:54
oiaohmThat is about it.Sep 16 00:54
oiaohmProblem here is they can argue they have provided extra functionality to off set the cost.Sep 16 00:55
Ziomatrixoiaohm: I have only seen that work in the UKSep 16 00:55

oiaohmThat is why its a hard case to win.  ZiomatrixSep 16 00:57
oiaohmYou have to get judge/jury to agree with you.  ZiomatrixSep 16 00:57
oiaohmSo its a costly process as well.Sep 16 00:57
Ziomatrixoiaohm: think of the children, and what they can learn from programming in Linux as apposed to shooting up virtual objects. ;)Sep 16 00:58
oiaohmBasically companies only do these things to you because they know you will let them do it.Sep 16 00:58
oiaohmIts not like everyone demards that games consoles be open source and alteratable.   So they are in charge of there hardwareSep 16 00:59
oiaohmInstead you want the games so stiff.Sep 16 00:59
Ziomatrixoiaohm: or at least all the services and software that enables them to subsidize selling the hardwareSep 16 00:59
bruce89whoops, that means my wallpaper is non-free thenSep 16 00:59
oiaohmCreative commons by any chance.  bruce89Sep 16 01:00
bruce892.0, it's from flickrSep 16 01:00
oiaohmYes wallpapers can be licenced in a way that it can be changed.Sep 16 01:00
oiaohmSo still fall under FOSS ideas  bruce89Sep 16 01:01
bruce89I'd gladly licence if anyone wants itSep 16 01:01
bruce89under 3.0 that isSep 16 01:01
bruce89just flickr only allows 2.0 I believeSep 16 01:01
oiaohmBasically I am not a good person to complain to.  ZiomatrixSep 16 01:01
oiaohmI do some closed source software mostly because people will not pay enoungh for my time todo the same software open source.Sep 16 01:02

-TRIdentica/#techrights-[lxoliva/@lxoliva] @webmink non-Free Software, i.e., denying others essential software freedoms, is unethical, no matter how you name the softwareSep 16 21:30
Chips_B_Malroythey are going to grant "free" (well not really free) to NGO, or Non Governmental Organization for one year.  After that the NGO's have to sign up to get "free" (really non-free) software from MS.  Why would anyone trust MS to sign up at that point?  After all, MS worked hand in hand with the Russian Gov to go after these NGO's.Sep 16 21:31
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[lxoliva/@lxoliva] @webmink so non-Free firmware is surely unethical. for printed unmodifiable circuits, it's not that clearSep 16 21:32

-TRIdentica/#techrights-[lxoliva/@lxoliva] @webmink there's clearly an ethical problem when the software is so exposed to the user that the user needs to upload it every timeSep 16 23:52
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[webmink/@webmink] @lxoliva But these days it almost always gets there by being compiled from code...Sep 16 23:52
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[webmink/@webmink] @lxoliva I'm suggesting that exactly that boundary is nowhere near as crisp as it appears, and absolutist approaches to binaries are riskySep 16 23:54
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[lxoliva/@lxoliva] @webmink the point is, what are the freedoms that are being denied by not offering access to source code?Sep 16 23:54
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[lxoliva/@lxoliva] @webmink you appear to be taking open sources as goal, rather than as means to freedoms 1 and 3Sep 16 23:54
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[lxoliva/@lxoliva] @webmink but if you can't exercise freedoms 1 and 3, not because they won't let you, but because it's just not possible, no lossSep 16 23:55
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[webmink/@webmink] @lxoliva When a CPU is supplied without corresponding source I am unable to study, modify and distribute (FPGAs make this feasible)Sep 16 23:55
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[lxoliva/@lxoliva] @webmink where do you assume the boundary appears, crisply, to me? note I didn't draw any line, I just mentioned two extremesSep 16 23:55
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[webmink/@webmink] @lxoliva Only lack of skill prevents exercise of all 4 freedoms these days with chips.Sep 16 23:57
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[osamak/@osamak] @jonobacon happy birthday. Sweet 30. :)Sep 16 23:57
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[lxoliva/@lxoliva] @webmink so, there you go, this is one case in which denying sources is actually harmful, thus unethicalSep 16 23:57

-TRIdentica/#techrights-[webmink/@webmink] @lxoliva So you will decry all use of hardware supplied without source as you do BroadCom's driver blobs?Sep 16 23:59
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[lxoliva/@lxoliva] @webmink so you seem to be inclined to regard every piece of hardware without corresponding sources as unethical, is that so?Sep 16 23:59
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[lxoliva/@lxoliva] @webmink if what you say is true, then I'd be inclined to agree with this propositionSep 16 23:59
