Understanding Licenses, bit by bit (3)
,----[ Quote ]
| In the past two installments, I suggested a
| basic icon theme to describe the important
| points of a variety of Free Software licenses,
| applied those icons to the top ten most popular
| Free Software licenses and found that several
| of them are âthe sameâ in terms of icons â
| which suggests that either what the two
| licenses does is roughly the same (so we can
| consider them equivalent) or that there is a
| distinguishing characteristic that hasnât been
| taken into account yet. The second installment
| took a close look at two licenses that were
| âthe sameâ and illustrated a third option: that
| Iâd applied the icons wrongly.

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.

Palm Pre GSM source code now available
,----[ Quote ]
| According to Harald Welte, the source code for the
| Palm Pre GSM model, currently being sold in Europe is
| now available from the opensource.palm.com site.
| Earlier this week, Welte pointed out that the source

| with the terms of the GPL. An email to Welte from Palm
| has now confirmed the availability of the code for
| WebOS 1.1.2 and 1.1.3.
