fairness 12/02/2003 01:51 AM
We should not be misled by the apparent success of Free Software projects today. The popular Free Software licenses, such as the GNU GPL and the BSD License, are not conducive to innovative software development. The fact that many Free Software products are popular should not hide the facts about the licenses under which they are being distributed.

Dispute

Microsoft, C I Settle Software License
Dispute 01/04/2005 11:03 AM
A three-and-a-half-year dispute between Microsoft and a Texas Web-hosting operation has ended, with one becoming a partner to the other in the process. Dallas-Fort Worth-based C I Host announced on Monday that a federal judge dismissed a long-running suit filed against it by Microsoft. C I Host is a global Web host and data center operator, serving 215,000 individual consumers and businesses in 190 countries. The dispute goes back to September 2001, when Microsoft said it first notified the hosting company of its concerns that it might not have taken a service provider license agreement for Windows server products. According to the complaint, C I Host responded in December 2001 by denying wrongdoing and threatening to sue Microsoft for defamation if it went public with the charges.

Ohio Pushing Law To Enforce Library
Filters 11/12/2003 01:33 PM
Apparently state politicians in Ohio are proposing a new law that would require libraries to use internet filters if they want to receive state money. Do the politicians in Ohio not realize that there's already a similar federal law that the Supreme Court has upheld? In other words, isn't this a bit redundant? More importantly, why isn't it up to the library themselves to decide what's appropriate for their patrons?

Define Spyware Or Just Enforce Existing
Laws? 09/13/2004 09:56 PM
The question over exactly how spyware should be defined isn't exactly new. However, Mark Rasch's latest column at SecurityFocus picks apart common spyware definitions to make you wonder if it's useful at all to define what spyware is. Instead, he suggests (as have others before< /a>) that the real issue isn't in defining and outlawing spyware, but simply enforcing existing laws that already make most of the worst offenders illegal by way of laws against fraud. Of course, that won't happen, because politicians want to make sure they're seen as doing something to make their constituents' lives better -- and a law against spyware (just like the mostly useless law against spam before it) is good for publicity, even if it does little to solve any real problems.

This week, it has come to our attention that Yahoo! has updated their index to find well over 10 million web pages that link to our licenses. If you're curious at all to see what licenses people are choosing, you can see the breakdown here, on this chart:

You need a license to say "I have a
dream"

You need a license to say "I have a
dream" 12/17/2003 02:40 AM
Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech is still in copyright (as is almost everything else familiar in our lives), and Dr King's heirs strictly enforce the copyright. Wendy Seltzer points out what this means for free expression and political commentary.

You can always quote a few lines without asking permission, but that's likely to be the same few lines that have become cliched with repetition. Quote the whole speech to make a more substantial point, and you face thousand-dollar license fee claims from the estate. Quote them to make a point critical of King, and you may be denied a license entirely.

"Get a license or do not sample"

"Get a license or do not sample" 09/09/2004 09:02 AM
So ordered the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. Sampling, we're told, is piracy. But be certain to see the 19 footnotes in this relatively brief opinion, or the 28 separate quotes the opinion includes from other peoples work. I assume the court got a license for those. Now that's not quite fair. The court's decision turns upon its "literal" reading of the sound recording statute. The sound recording statute has no de minimus exceptions, the court held. So while you are free to copy three notes from a musical composition, you can't copy the same three notes from a recording. So copying (so long as de minimus) is fine; cut & paste is not. It is a "bright-line" rule the Court has crafted: Ask permission first. (And don't worry, they might have added. It's simple.) So once again: life in the analog world is freer than life in the digital world. You can do it, just don't use technology to do it -- unless, of course, your lawyer has spoken to their lawyer.
