Sure it will be important  mrjonno | 06/28/07
This is not like an iPhone, you will NOT have to wait in line to get it.  DonnieBoy | 06/28/07
Significant only to a tiny minority.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 06/28/07
Obviously, that's why you're here.  odubtaig | 06/28/07
I agree  No_Ax_to_Grind | 06/28/07
So, let me get this straight...  odubtaig | 06/28/07
Correct, I want every client Ihave  No_Ax_to_Grind | 06/28/07
Well, seems like most open source developers WANT protection from UGLY  DonnieBoy | 06/28/07
Well, you're going about it the wrong way then.  odubtaig | 06/28/07
And I wish you the best at finally getting a client.  B.O.F.H. | 06/28/07
I suppose you wish it was significant to only a small minority. But, it is  DonnieBoy | 06/28/07
Tell ya what,  No_Ax_to_Grind | 06/28/07
Right here, right now, this is big news, published by all news  DonnieBoy | 06/29/07
Significant?  Arm A. Geddon | 06/28/07
You are trusting SIFMA over No_Ax_to_Grind?  B.O.F.H. | 06/28/07
forgive me B.O.F.H...  Arm A. Geddon | 06/28/07
minor correction DonnieBoy  Arm A. Geddon | 06/28/07
Thanks, yes, Eben Moglen!!  DonnieBoy | 06/29/07
So here's my question  Michael Kelly | 06/28/07
No, with the GPL2 or newer clause, you can release under EITHER the GPL2 or  DonnieBoy | 06/28/07
No, open source does NOT automatically move  No_Ax_to_Grind | 06/28/07
I never asked about Linux  Michael Kelly | 06/28/07
Those with the "or higher"  No_Ax_to_Grind | 06/28/07
Of course  Michael Kelly | 06/28/07
That's not right at all.  odubtaig | 06/28/07
The arrival of GPL3 will spur increased activity.  yyuko@... | 06/28/07
Why avoiding it?  odubtaig | 06/28/07
You aren't paying attention, Red Hat is doing it  No_Ax_to_Grind | 06/28/07
RedHat is not stupid, they will make sure any agreement they sign with MS  DonnieBoy | 06/28/07
Just for you...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 06/28/07
Did you even read that?  odubtaig | 06/28/07
Did you read it?  No_Ax_to_Grind | 06/28/07
Um, NDA? As others have repeatedly pointed out to you.  odubtaig | 06/28/07
