Richard Fontana Free Software , Bradley M. Kuhn

@bkuhn Just sayin': Larry #Rosen wrote a !fs license where users have contractual remedy for #fail'ure to provide source.

It looks like the last known non-free item in TeXLive 2011 is in the process of being relicensed! Will it happen in time for Fedora 17?

Richard Fontana The GNU General Public License , Bradley M. Kuhn

@bkuhn #GPLv4 could facilitate downstream source requests. Larry #Rosen wrote such license yet you guys had nothing but scorn for him.

Richard Fontana The GNU General Public License , Bradley M. Kuhn

@bkuhn You face a bit of a problem here having said repeatedly that downstream claims are somehow impossible

@bkuhn IDNKT. Same Brendan Scott who suggested the #BSD license is copyleft, note. :-)

@tmarble or should know. But if they assume (or would assume) no cost to noncompliance, might predict level of noncompliance that exists.

@mlinksva @bkuhn since in practice those who care about #GPL compliance are in the 99%, GPL as bare © license could be major design flaw

Some things you may have heard about #secureboot which aren't entirely true by Matthew #Garrett http://ur1.ca/84v43

Richard Fontana disturbing , diablomarcus

@diablomarcus #ugh the very name calls to mind the #NorthernCitiesVowelShift in addition to #pizza blasphemy

Richard Fontana disturbing , Brian van den Broek

@vanden you are !disturbing me. Some of the worst #pizza I've ever had was in #Seattle and #Chicago (2 places where I resided in past)

Richard Fontana foonetic (lnxwalt280)

@lnxwalt280 to be more precise, I had very good #pizza once at a place on #LongBeachIsland on (off?) #JerseyShore

Richard Fontana Brian van den Broek

@vanden I haven't found truly edible #pizza other than in parts of #NewYork #Connecticut and #NewJersey

@bkuhn OK that's what I assumed #laforge must have meant
