FSF: Apple's iTunes Store terms of service at odds with GPL
,----[ Quote ]
| The Free Software Foundation is up in arms
| over Apple's iTunes Store Terms of Service,
| suggesting that these terms fundamentally
| conflict with the terms of the GNU Public
| License. The foundation has warned Apple
| that a version of GNU Go distributed by the
| App Store makes Apple liable to comply with
| GPL terms that allow free sharing of code,
| but warned that its "Usage Rules" violate
| those terms. The fallout could potentially
| affect any app that uses GPLed code.

Apple's GPL Snafu and Opportunity
,----[ Quote ]
| Apple is finding itself on wrong end of the
| Free Software Foundation (FSF). An iPhone
| port of GNU Go has made its way into the App
| Store, which is all good â except that the
| terms of the App Store conflict with the GNU
| General Public License.

Google demands more openness from the Open Source Initiative
,----[ Quote ]
| Googleâs open source programs manager, Chris
| DiBona has asked the Open Source Initiative
| to delay consideration of Googleâs WebM
| license, and in doing so has called on the
| OSI to be more open. Specifically, DiBona
| said Google âwill want a couple of changes
| to how OSI does licensesâ and that he thinks
| âthat OSI needs to be more open about its
| workings to retain credibility in the
| spaceâ.
|
| DiBona statement came in response to Bruce
| Perensâ request for the OSIâs License
| Discuss mailing list to consider the WebM
| license introduced by Google for its VP8
| video codec, and follows the declaration by
| Open Source Initiative board member, Simon
| Phipps, that WebM is ânot open sourceâ.
