- Stallman admits GPL flawed, proprietary licensing needed to pay for MySQL development
- You really believe that?Look at Red Hat. $5.1 Bln market cap and they're not making *any* money with free software? There is plenty of money out there for consulting services and support. Just ask IBM.Proprietary software is not religion.The problem with Sun was that they couldn't commit either...

- Stallman admits GPL flawed, proprietary licensing needed to pay for MySQL development
- Richard Stallman and others are trying to block Oracle's acquisition of MySQL. Why? Because MySQL is covered by the GNU Public License GPL, and the purchase has exposed a flaw in the GPL that Stallman says will cause a "major setback" to the development of the free database if the...

- I for one welcome no overlords
- GPLed software is not legally free.Only software distributed with no license at all is legally free. The GPL is admirably, artfully, and life-givingly crafted to compel specific downstream-of-distribution behaviors through legal encumbrance. Legally encumbered software is not legally free software. Period.We will know that the free software movement--where "GPLed" is...

- Watch Out for That Meteor, Stallman.

- Will Stallman C# warning fall flat?Is this any different than Java?There are positive reasons to have someone hold the patent, mainly, that there is only one captain of the ship. I support open source, but the hitorical problem with it and UNIX has been forking. Some propeller head messes with...

- Will Stallman C# warning fall flat?
- Stallman's fear is that Microsoft will use its software patents to force open source C# implementations, and applications, underground. Any move toward bringing C#, which Microsoft developed and Mono, which Microsoft supports, into the center of the Linux community must therefore be resisted. by Dana Blankenhorn

- From Chapter Four: The Unix and Open source Culture
- From Chapter Four: The Unix and Open source CultureGNUI had always heard that "GNU" was a recursive acronym for "Gnu's Not Unix". It wasn't just me who thought that. For example, Eric Smith used the same naming scheme for his Atari ST OS, called MiNT Mint is Not Tos, and...

- Stallman vs. the cloud computing tidal wave
- Stallman's recent statements regarding his dislike of "cloud computing" didn't surprise me in the least, given what I understand about his software preferences. In fact, I think this is less about Stallman's worry about the security implications of cloud computing, and more about his desire for a software ecosystems that adheres...

- Stallman hopes to save children from proprietary software
- George Ou pointed me in the direction of Stallman's comments relating to Windows on the OLPC project, though I did nothing about it because my head was figuratively on fire. I then saw Christopher Dawson's response to Stallman's comments, and so I figured that I'd throw my two cents in...
