IBM developerWorks: An Interview w/ GM Jim Corgel
,----[ Quote ]
| Q: Whatâs developerWorks?
|
| A: Well, itâs a bit unique. Itâs long been a
| content and download rich site oriented
| towards, well, developers and in recent
| months theyâve begun adding in social
| networking elements. While the site is
| designed and built by IBM, which means that
| itâs a.) got the usual brand (Lotus,
| Rational, Websphere, etc) product lines
| front and center, b.) pretty corporate in
| its design and c.) has a LOT going on, the
| content is periodically but regularly
| outstanding.
|
| For all of the branded content, a huge
| number of the developerWorks pieces have
| nothing to do, really, with IBM products,
| written as they are by non-employees. Hereâs
| a piece on WebKit, Android and the iPhone,
| for example, another on data collection with
| Python and Beautiful Soup, and hereâs one
| more on building a Twitter app w/ Django and
| jQuery. Nary an IBM product among them.

Interview with James Vasile â Software Freedom Law Center
,----[ Quote ]
| We had the chance to interview James Vasile,
| an attorney with the Software Freedom Law
| Center (SFLC). Now people often think of
| the SFLC as the group that âgoes afterâ
| people who violate the GPL, and thatâs
| certainly the aspect that the press focuses
| on, but James points out that enforcement is
| a very small percentage of what they do.
| More interesting were James insights
| into how businesses learn that their secret
| sauce has very little to do with locking up
| the code.

The Anatomy of a Modern GPL Violation
,----[ Quote ]
| I've been thinking the last few weeks
| about the evolution of the GPL violation.
| After ten years of being involved with GPL
| enforcement, it seems like a good time to
| think about how things have changed.
|
| Roughly, the typical GPL violation tracks
| almost directly the adoption and spread of
| Free Software. When I started finding GPL
| violations, it was in a day when Big Iron
| Unix was still king (although it was only
| a few years away from collapse), and the
| GNU tools were just becoming state of the
| art. Indeed, as a sysadmin, I typically
| took a proprietary Unix system, and built
| a /usr/local/ filled with the GNU tools,
| because I hated POSIX tools that didn't
| have all the GNU extensions.
