Commercial Open Source Vendors Turn to Court: Artifex v. Palm
,----[ Quote ]
| This complaint may signal the beginning of
| a trend by commercial open source
| companies with âdual licensingâ models:
| the success of that model, which is used
| by most commercial open source companies,
| depends on the difference in the scope of
| rights available under an open source
| license and a commercial license as well
| as the value of the additional protections
| (performance warranties, support and
| indemnification) available under the
| commercial license.

Creator of BusyBox critical of SFLC GPL litigation - Update
,----[ Quote ]
| Update - When asked by The H about Perens
| comments, Aaron Williamson, SFLC Counsel,
| said "Bruce Perens is a very important
| figure in the free software community, but
| he is not our client. Many developers have
| contributed to the development of BusyBox
| and hold copyright in the program,
| including Bruce Perens. Whether, or to
| what extent, Mr. Perens holds copyright in
| any version of BusyBox is irrelevant to
| the lawsuits we have filed; a developer
| need not hold a "majority interest" of
| copyright in a program in order to bring a
| claim for infringement against a third
| party."
