Samba with Active Directory: getting closer
,----[ Quote ]
| From one point of view, Samba is open source
| high drama at its finest: an early adopter of
| version 3 of the GNU General Public License,
| and the recipient of an unprecedented release
| of formerly proprietary Microsoft
| documentation, thanks to a high-profile anti-
| trust case.

Linux.conf.au 2010: Day 5 (morning)

| Andrew Tridgell: Patent defence for free
| software
|
| I missed the start of this talk, but when I
| arrived, Andrew was explaining how to read
| and interpret patent claims. This is even
| less obvious than one might suppose. He
| offered advice on which parts to read first,
| and which could be disregarded or referred
| to only as needed.
|
| Invalidating a patent entirely is difficult,
| but because patents are interpreted very
| narrowly, inventions can often be shown to
| be âdifferent enoughâ from the patented one.
|
| Where âworkaroundsâ are found, which enable
| free software to interoperate or solve a
| problem in a different way than described in
| a patent, Andrew says it is important to
| publish them far and wide. This helps to
| discourage patent holders from attacking
| free software, because the discovery and
| publication of a workaround could lead to
| them losing all of their revenue from the
| patent (as their licensees could adopt that
| instead and stop paying for licenses).
