[Fsfe-se] [FSFE PR][SV] FSFE, Samba: A triumph for freedom of choice and competition
by FSF Europe Press 17 Sep '07

17 Sep '07

FSFE, Samba: A triumph for freedom of choice and competition "Microsoft can consider itself above the law no longer," says Georg Greve, president of the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE). "Through tactics that successfully derailed antitrust processes in other parts of the world, including the United States, Microsoft has managed to postpone this day for almost a decade. But thanks to the perseverance and excellent work of the European Commission, these tactics have now failed in Europe," Greve continues. Carlo Piana, FSFE's legal counsel: "FSFE and the Samba Team welcome the decision of the court. This is a milestone for competition. It puts an end to the notion that deliberate obfuscation of standards and designed lock-in is an acceptable business model and forces Microsoft back into competing on the grounds of software technology." "The Samba Team would like to thank the European Commission for its outstanding job over the past years. Millions of users around the world will reap the rewards of their work," comments Jeremy Allison, co-author of the Samba project. "This is a very important day for the Samba Team: we hope to finally compete on a level playing field, without being denied access to interoperability information. Samba would then be able to offer consumers real choice, with the benefits of software freedom." Volker Lendecke of the Samba Team: "Now that the court has decided, we will be watching closely what the exact licensing terms for the interoperability information are. It will be very important to make sure that the information is usable in Free Software, otherwise the great success the Commission has achieved here is severely harmed. Samba is one of the most important players in the workgroup server market, the market in which the comission wanted to restore competition." "This is a very good day for Europe, but it is only a step along the way. The recurrent theme for Microsoft's behaviour over the past years is an apparent perception of interoperability as a threat to overcome," summarises FSFE counsel Carlo Piana. "The most recent example was provided by MS-OOXML, which Doug Mahugh of Microsoft described as a commercially motivated response to the threat provided by the ODF ISO standard and the interoperability and choice it offers. Tactical, not technical considerations were the driving force behind Microsoft's global efforts to manipulate national standardisation bodies into blind acceptance of MS-OOXML." FSFE president Greve concludes: "Today's decision has set a very important precedent for the future. Secret manipulation of open formats and protocols has clearly been marked as unacceptable conduct. We now encourage the European Commission take up the recent antitrust complaint brought forward by ECIS. In a joint effort with the Samba Team and OpenOffice.org, the FSFE gladly offers its expertise to the European Commission for that investigation." About the Free Software Foundation Europe: The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) is a non-profit non-governmental organisation active in many European countries and involved in many global activities. Access to software determines participation in a digital society. To secure equal participation in the information age, as well as freedom of competition, the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) pursues and is dedicated to the furthering of Free Software, defined by the freedoms to use, study, modify and copy. Founded in 2001, creating awareness for these issues, securing Free Software politically and legally, and giving people Freedom by supporting development of Free Software are central issues of the FSFE.

[Fsfe-se] Invitation: SELF platform launch
by Henrik Sandklef 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Hejsan alla nedan följer en inbjudan till en presentation som ges i Göteborg. Om ni kommer, anmäl er till irina(a)fsfeurope.org Mvh Henrik Sandklef Platform for free software learning material goes live A milestone for education on free software and open standards is reached. On September 5th 2007 the beta version of the SELF platform (http://www.selfplatform.eu) goes live. One of the cities that it happens is right here in Gothenburg, Sweden. The event is taking place in the IT University in Lindholmen at 16.00 in Svea Building (room Torg Blå). The speaker will be Henrik Sandklef, representative of The Free Software Foundation Europe, one of the organisations behind the project. He will give an overview of the idea and the positive impact of the SELF Platform, following by a hands on workshop of how the system operates and is implemented in schools and libraries. The event will conclude with an open discussion and questions over "fika". The official launch is taking place during a conference on Free Software in Education in Amsterdam (http://selfproject.eu/en/launch), accompanied by a number of satellite launch events worldwide as the one in Sweden. The SELF Platform has been developed by a global team of non-profit organisations, universities and volunteers engaged in the SELF Project, an initiative for the collaborative sharing and creation of free educational and training materials on Free Software and Open Standards. Users, primarily learners and teachers, are enabled to assemble selections of learning contents and create custom-made learning material for lessons in their language. The Platform is launched in beta stage to involve the growing community in optimising the tool. Hundreds of documents on Free Software, such as OpenOffice.org, The Gimp, or GNU/Linux, and documents on Open Standards have been screened by a team of experts in regards to quality, free license and validity. The result is a basic collection of high-quality learning materials that have been, or will be atomised and entered into the SELF Platform. Inspired by Wikipedia, the multilingual SELF Platform is not only a self-sustaining source of knowledge and a tool to evaluate, adapt, create and translate free learning materials on Free Software, but also creates a much needed room for interaction between the Free Software and the education communities in a broader sense. The SELF project is carried by a consortium of seven NPOs and universities in Europe, Asia and Latin America. The initial setup of the platform has been financially supported by the European Union.

The first official meeting will take place on August 31st , at 14.00. Although the agenda will be decided by everybody and everybody is welcome to propose items for it, we have worked out a preliminary agenda for the first meeting. it is as follows: Start: 14.00 Everybody can join an hour earlier, at 13.00 for introduction of FSFE and fellows. First topic: general questions about the jabber chatroom session procedures, decision making process and winter conference. Second: explanation and call for volunteers for the different teams within the organisation of the winter conference: - web administration - 2 people - on-site staff - 12 people - graphic design for materials - 3 people - video shooting - 5 people Third - suggestions and discussions for new topics and speakers for the conference Fourth - short explanation and general questions on the award Fifth - discussion on procedures how to make nominations and/or be part of the jury Sixth - decision on a deadline for submitting nominations Seventh - open for any questions that might appear from now until the date of the meeting. if you have any please submit them at irina(a)fsfeurope.org until the end of the working day on August 30th. If you have trouble with setting up the jabber session, follow this link: https://www.fsfe.org/en/forums/fellowship_smoothers/problem_with_the_jabber… We hope you welcome this idea and will become part of a more proactive and organized fellowship. If you are not an official fellow yet, this can be a very good start up reason to become one. Best wishes, FSFE

[Fsfe-se] NUMBER ONE Success System
by Tommy Lee 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

http://www.noss123.com/ "True" legal Mortgage *See also: Mortgage* A legal mortgage arises when the assets are conveyed to the secured party as security for the obligations, but subject to a right to have the assets reconveyed when the obligations are performed.[6] This right is referred to as the "equity of redemption". The law has historically taken a dim view of provisions which might impede this right to have the assets reconveyed (referred to as being a "clog" on the equity of redemption), although the position has become more relaxed in recent years in relation to sophisticated financial transactions. References to "true" legal mortgages mean mortgages by the traditional common law method of transfer subject to a proviso in this manner, and references are usually made in contradistinction to either equitable mortgages or statutory mortgages. True legal mortgages are relatively rare in modern commerce, outside of occasionally with respect to shares in companies. In England, true legal mortgages of land have been abolished in favour of statutory mortgages.[7] To complete a legal mortgage it is normally necessary that title to the assets is conveyed into the name of the secured party such that the secured party (or its nominee) becomes the legal titleholder to the asset. If a legal mortgage is not completed in this manner it will normally take effect as an equitable mortgage. Because of the requirement to transfer title, it is not possible to take a legal mortgage over future property, or to take more than one legal mortgage over the same assets. However, mortgages (legal and equitable) are non-possessory security interests. Normally the party granting the mortgage (the *mortgagor*) will remain in possession of the mortgaged asset.[8] The holder of a legal mortgage has three primary remedies in the event that there is a default on the secured obligations: they can foreclose on the assets, they can sell the assets or they can appoint a receiver over the assets. The holder of a mortgage can also usually sue upon the covenant to pay which appears in most mortgage instruments. There are a range of other remedies available to the holder of a mortgage,[9] but they relate predominantly to land, and accordingly have been superseded by statute, and they are rarely exercised in practice in relation to other assets. The beneficiary of a mortgage (the *mortgagee*) is entitled to pursue all of its remedies concurrently[10] or consecutively.[11]
