IntelliJ IDEA Open Sourced
,----[ Quote ]
| With IntelliJ now being available under an
| Open Source license, developers have another
| option to choose from when it comes to Java-
| based IDEs/Frameworks (Eclipse and NetBeans
| being the other two prominent ones). Choice is
| always good, and being an Open Source
| enthusiast, I of course welcome JetBrain's
| move!

Out of control
,----[ Quote ]
| We have previously discussed the theory that
| the GPL is a better licensing choice than a
| more permissive license such as the BSD
| license for vendors establishing commercial
| dominance around an open source project.
|
| That remains true today. What I now believe is
| that for vendors that have used the GPL to
| control a project and establish commercial
| dominance with proprietary extensions, a more
| permissive license is likely to act as a
| better method of expanding the development
| opportunities for that underlying project as
| well as the commercial opportunities for those
| proprietary extensions.

Sounds like GPLv2
,----[ Quote ]
| The Register is reporting on a webcast hosted
| by Black Duck Software with Karen Copenhaver
| and Mark Radcliffe. The Register article
| starts out with the misleading paragraph:
|
| Two prominent IP lawyers have warned that
| the all-pervasive General Public License
| version 2 (GPLv2) is legally unsound.
|
| [...]
|
| As far as the Register article goes, the first
| comment finishes with âRocket science it is
| not.â No, itâs not rocket science, but the gap
| between what you want (or what you have been
| led to believe) and what the text actually
| says â let alone what it does when subjected
| to scrutiny â may be very great. And thatâs
| the different between landing on the moon,
| crashing into the moon, and exploding on the
| launch pad (which is AGPLv3, BTW).

Linux Users Still Left Out, Why Source Code Matters to End Users
,----[ Quote ]
| Here we go with another round of Linux Today
| reader comments. Let's start off with an issue
| that has been on my mind: Vendors who boast of
| the their Linux-based devices, but they only
| support Windows and Mac clients. It's a step
| in the right direction, but would supporting
| Linux clients be so difficult? LT readers
| weigh in with examples

GPLv2 - copyright code or contract?

| Two prominent IP lawyers have warned that the all-

| is legally unsound.
|
| They claim GPLv3 and AGPLv3 are much better suited
| for the realities of modern open source software.
