[Fsfe-se] [FSFE PR][SV] Commission to Microsoft: Preventing interoperability has a price
by FSF Europe Press 12 Jul '06

12 Jul '06

Commission to Microsoft: Preventing interoperability has a price FSFE welcomes the decision by the European Commission. "Microsoft is still as far from allowing competition as it was on the day of the original Commission ruling in 2004. All proposals made by Microsoft were deliberately exclusive of Samba, the major remaining competitor. In that light, the fines do not seem to come early, and they do not seem high," comments Carlo Piana, Milano based lawyer of the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) regarding the decision of the European Commission to fine Microsoft 1.5 million Euro per day retroactively from 16. December 2005, totalling 280.5 million Euro. Should Microsoft not come into compliance until the end of July 2006, the daily fines could be doubled. These fines are a reaction to Microsofts continued lack of compliance with the European Commission decision to make interoperability information available to competitors as a necessary precondition to allow fair competition. FSFE has supported the European Commission >From the start of the suit in 2001. Having made similar statements during the hearing, Microsoft commented to the press last week [1] that 300 engineers are currently working "day and night" to fulfill the request of the public authorities. "If we are to believe Microsofts numbers, it appears that 120.000 person days are not enough to document its own software. This is a task that good software developers do during the development of software, and a hallmark of bad engineering," comments Georg Greve, president of the FSFE. "For users, this should be a shock: Microsoft apparently does not know the software that controls 95% of all desktop computers on this planet. Imagine General Motors releasing a press statement to the extent that even though they had 300 of their best engineers work on this for two years, they cannot provide specifications for the cars they built." Many companies run a mixed network of Windows, GNU/Linux, Unix and other operating systems (OS). The Windows products understand each other, and all the other operating systems can talk to each other. It is the connection between the two worlds that was deliberatly obfuscated a few years ago by Microsoft, and that the Samba project is working on. During the main hearing at the European Court of Justice toward the end of April, the president and founder of Samba Dr. Andrew Tridgell presented the work of the Samba Team work. Among other things, he demonstrated a box for roughly 100 EUR. If Microsoft did not hide its interoperability information, that box would already be capable of administrating hundreds of users. A small 100 EUR box could do the same task that is currently done by an entire PC for 1.000,- EUR. "Dr. Tridgell demonstrated easily what kind of innovation is locked out of the market by Microsofts refusal to interoperate with other vendors. In this case, the price of that refusal are domain controllers that are ten times more expensive than necessary, and the price is paid by everyone: private businesses, public authorities and society as a whole," Georg Greve summarises. He concludes: "When will society refuse to legitimise such business practices by buying from companies that exhibit such behaviour?"

[Fsfe-se] [FSFE PR][SV] GPLv3 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE DETAILS ONLINE - BARCELONA, CATALONIA - SPAIN, JUNE 22nd & 23rd
by Joachim Jakobs 13 Jun '06

13 Jun '06

GPLv3 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE DETAILS ONLINE BARCELONA, CATALONIA - SPAIN, JUNE 22nd & 23rd Marking the half-way point of the year-long public consultation process for redrafting Free Software's cornerstone licence, the third international GPLv3 conference will host experts from Europe and from around the world. The venue, in the heart of the city, is the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB). There, during the two days of this event, there will be presentations from experts including Richard Stallman, president of FSF, Eben Moglen, chairman of Software Freedom Law Center, Georg Greve, president of FSF Europe and Harald Welte, founder of gpl-violations.org. By far the most widely used Free Software licence, the GNU General Public License (aka, "the GPL") ensures that everyone who receives GPL'd software is able to use it as they wish, to modify to fit their needs, and to distribute modified or unmodified copies. "People sometimes have the feeling that GNU GPL has been around forever, and they would not be entirely wrong. Published in 1991, the GNU GPL has proven to be exceptionally successful throughout the past fifteen years," says Greve. "With such an exceptional success, one will change as little as possible. But there are changes in the legal and technical environment, as well as the position of Free Software and its community, that made some changes advisable. The process to update the licence is aiming at a global GPLv3 drafting team, and everyone is invited to participate: Joining the conferences is one of the best ways of doing so." Harald Welte emphasises the threat caused by Digital Restriction Management (DRM) to Free Software: "It has always been clear that using DRM to restrict users is in conflict with the spirit of the GPL. As a copyright holder of some GPL'd software, I have already successfully enforced this out of court with GPL version two. The new DRM language proposed for GPLv3 is more solid and will make this enforcement easier. When enforcement is easy, people are less likely to violate the licence in the first place, so the Free Software can continue to focus on software development rather than policing licence violations." All presentations will be made in English, with the only exception of one which will be in Spanish. Translation to Spanish will be provided for the entire conference, and translation to English will be provided for the Spanish talk. There is no fee for the conference, but registration is required to guarantee a place. Attendees are asked to email oriordan(a)fsfeurope.org with "GPLv3 registration" in the subject of the email. The Conference's schedule and further information will be published soon at http://fsfeurope.org/projects/gplv3/europe-gplv3-conference About the Free Software Foundation Europe The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSF Europe) is a charitable non-governmental organisation dedicated to all aspects of Free Software in Europe.

[Fsfe-se] Klippa in GPL-kod i "public domain" program om man anger vilka delar som är GPL?!?
by Martin Olsson 19 May '06

19 May '06

Om man fotograferar i RAW format och vill konvertera sin bilder till .jpg eller dylikt mha Linux så använder man i regel följande program: http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/ (alternativt ngt annat program vars kod är baserad på dcraw) Hur som helst, jag kollade just source koden till dcraw och längst upp står det följande: Attention! Some parts of this program are restricted under the terms of the GNU General Public License. Such code is enclosed in "BEGIN GPL BLOCK" and "END GPL BLOCK" declarations. Any code not declared GPL is free for all uses. Jag undrar.. kan man verkligen göra såhär? Alltså ta snippets av GPL kod och klippa in i sin source (som ej totalt sett är GPL licensierad)?? Någon som kan klargöra? mvh martin

[Fsfe-se] FSFE-möte på torsdag (2006-04-27) i Göteborg
by Henrik Sandklef 19 Apr '06

19 Apr '06

Hejsan Det är dags att sätta skrida till verket igen. Mötets agenda är inte satt och kommer nog inte skrivas ned. Tanken är att försöka få fram vad vi deltagare kan bidra med samt diskutera hur vi går vidare därifrån. Lite att tänka på: * Vad kan just du bidra med? * Vad skulle du vilja ha mer information om * Vad kan vi (som arbetar inom FSF Europe i Sverige) göra bättre * Vad ser du som viktigt för FSF Europe att jobba med i Sverige ..... fyll gärna på! Plats etc: 27/4 (Torsdag) 17.00 - 19.00 Viktoriagatan 13, Göteborg. [1] Vill du vara men kan inte komma till Göteborg fixar vi en telefonkonferens eller liknande.
