Tr.im going open source
,----[ Quote ]
| URL shortening service tr.im is going open source. That's right - after a
| week in which they first were planning to go kaput, then got resurrected -
| this week Eric Woodward, the guy behind tr.im is planning to set it all free.

Open Source: the Ultimate Insurance Policy
,----[ Quote ]
| Nambu was quite prepared just to shut down tr.im; it only chose open source
| when it recognised that there was a responsibility to its users to provide
| some continuity, and that open source was a perfect fit. It enables the
| software to continue to develop, but only as long as there is interest in
| doing so. If and when the software truly dies, so will the open source
| project.

Why the GNU GPL v3 Matters Even More
,----[ Quote ]
| This is important not just because it shows that there's considerable vigour
| in the GNU GPL licence yet, but because version 3 addresses a particularly
| hot area at the moment: software patents. The increasing use of GPL v3, with
| its stronger, more developed response to that threat, is therefore very good
| news indeed.

| for 164 projects. A year later, the number had climbed past 2,000 total
| projects. Today, as announced by Google open-source programs office manager
| Chris DiBona, the number of open-source projects licensed under GPLv3 is at
| least 56,000.
