SFLC tech director finds one new GPL violator every day
,----[ Quote ]
| Bradley Kuhn, the technical director of
| the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC),
| has published a helpful set of guidelines
| about the most productive way to respond
| to a suspected violation of GNU's General
| Public License (GPL). The guidelines
| caution against jumping to conclusions and
| encourages free software enthusiasts to
| give violators the benefit of the doubt.
| GPL violations are extremely common, he
| says, but most of them are accidental.

Riddle me this license, riddle me that.

| The biggest difference between open source
| software and proprietary software, apart
| from being able to see the code, are the
| licenses governing their usage.
| Proprietary software licenses are pretty
| much standard. They all say basically the
| same thing. Which is that the software is
| ours, it is only on loan to you and if you
| try anything else we will own your soul.
