Bang, Zoom, Is Open Source The Right Way To The Moon?

,----[ Quote ]
| With the Obama Administration gutting NASAâs 
| return to the Moon program, we need to look to 
| private industry to lead the way in returning 
| humans to space. Open source could be the 
| ticket to get us there better, faster and 
| cheaper

Packaging Open Source, by Mark Webbink

,----[ Quote ]
| There is an article by Mark Webbink, Esq., 
| "Packaging Open Source", in the International 
| Free and Open Source Software Law Review, Vol 
| 1, No 2 (2009) that I think you'll find 
| interesting. It compares various FOSS licenses 
| and how they handle compilations and 
| collective works. The context of the article 
| is specifically packaging Linux with an 
| application into a software appliance, but the 
| descriptions of the licenses and how they work 
| are broadly useful in other contexts as well. 
| I am republishing the article here because 
| many of you face choices about what license 
| you will use on your works, so you also need 
| to understand, and others of you are lawyers 
| who would like to understand FOSS licenses 
| better.

Can open source guide a moon mission?

,----[ Quote ]
| I'm a sucker for audacious ideas. Big, huge
| things with a hint of insanity. And if you
| put those ideas in space I get really
| interested. That's why the Open Luna
| Foundation is right up my alley.
|
| OSCON 2010 This nonprofit project wants to
| use open source technologies and private
| donations to build a permanent outpost on the
| moon. (This isn't associated with the Google
| Lunar X Prize.)
