schestowitz"In biotech patenting if some sort of synergy can be shown where the result is beyond what would normally be expected then sometimes that can assist in arguing inventive step. I wonder if we need a sort of 'synergy' test to define what outstanding benefit is, which represents by how much more the patent contributed to earnings in comparison to normal patent income expectations for a holding of that size. That calculation would get rid of theOct 26 05:15

schestowitzI'm not with you.Oct 26 05:17
schestowitzI don't see how this use isn't just like any other which should be licensed in the usual way. The transport company chooses to use copyright works- why shouldn't it pay for the privilege? The author can no longer license in that market- there's your "prejudice".Oct 26 05:17
schestowitzAs to "benefit", surely that only goes to damages for infringement. it's not relevant to licensing.Oct 26 05:17

schestowitzthe state of things is a mess. you have people doing a witch hunt who should be ashamed, you have people feeding that witchhunt who should be ashamed, you have people against the witchhunt-- unlike the witchhunters we certainly dont want to misplace anybody or falsely accuse them.Oct 26 06:16
schestowitzthough we do want to know who we are dealing with, because if they do this to rms they dont deserve our trust. if we do get anybody wrong then the ideal is to fix that as quickly as possible. im actually still quite sceptical of everybody at sfc. but that doesnt mean everybody there is to blame.Oct 26 06:16

-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: TIL that the SFC press about RMS has been composed by bkuhn. I think it's important to know what person, not org, was responsible for that.

schestowitzits true. potus is meant to have a vp ready to take over at all times.Oct 26 06:20
schestowitzthe idea that the vp automatically steps in doesnt translate 1:1 but the concept is the same, the leadership needs to be ready to keep the rest of the thing going. otherwise its basically a cult of personality, like apple. im not disputing the fact that stallman is one-of-a-kind. but someone who parrots his words is not a viable clone, we need someone who can think for themselves AND carry on similar values. there are very few people who meetOct 26 06:20

schestowitzalso, this witch trial is the wrong reason for stallman to step down.Oct 26 06:20
schestowitzthis is character assassination-- if you let him step down over this, some of his values will inevitably go with him. his legacy (and the truth) needs to be defended before he steps down.Oct 26 06:20

schestowitzThat’s why leadership should change when the previous leadership is at the top of their game…not when the leadership is disgraced and has to be pushed aside.Oct 26 06:20
schestowitzRMS has done pioneering work and made incredible contributions to free/libre software. But there are new threats that I don’t think that he grasps. I also think that FSF could grow, and the current leadership is actually holding FSF back.Oct 26 06:20

schestowitzFree/libre software solves some of the world’s problems, but it doesn’t solve all of them. Sometimes, it helps to create some new ones i.e. the rise of surveillance capitalism which has been built on the backs of free/libre software.Oct 26 06:21
schestowitzThe fundamental problem is capitalism. And while free/libre software has done much to liberate computer users, it has also liberated corporations to become ever larger data monopolies and oligopolies.Oct 26 06:21
