- Sure the agreement is for a DRMd non-GPL compliant derivitive of BitTorrent
-
The MPAA will probably proprietarize BitTorrent to make their own proprietary, DRM infested BitTorrent-deriviative commercial distribution network.
MySQL has a similar scheme. If you don't wanna comply with the GPL and want use it lawsuit-vunerable for-profit commercial venture, you gotta pay. Otherwise its free. I bet BitTorrent will do similar licensing to other clients outside the MPAA.
I don't know if MySQL does this with the source code though. I know they do it with the binaries. If you want to use a MySQL database without giving up your SQL and possibly application source, you gotta pay.
BitTorrent will live on in its original form by (I think) the original author, and definitly by the existing modders like Azeurous. - Posted by: GreatInca Posted on: 05/10/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
