Open source lock-in

Open source lock-in 01/23/2004 04:13 PM

With the release of MySQL 4.0, the licensing policy of the wildly popular open source database underwent a subtle change. The code libraries that client programs use to access the native MySQL API, formerly licensed under the LGPL (Lesser General Public License), were converted to the GPL. The LGPL was designed to exempt "nonfree" programs that link against open source libraries from the GPL's strong requirement to release source code. The purpose of the LGPL, according to the Free Software Foundation, is "to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard." And indeed, MySQL has become the database pillar of the so-called LAMP platform, whose acronym expands to Linux, Apache, MySQL, and the trio of Perl, Python, and PHP. [Full story at InfoWorld.com]

Here's an interesting bit of backstory. As originally filed, my use of the terms LGPL and GPL in the lead paragraph was backwards. Not because I don't know the difference, but because it's so darned easy to get yourself mixed up when talking about this stuff. The error got past my own proofreading, and got by several editorial checks as well, but was fortunately caught before it went to print. I'm tempted to say that the complexity of open source licensing can make your eyes bleed, and that's true, but I guess it applies to all software licensing. Oracle, for example, is apparently now offering licensing seminars where you go to learn, not how to use Oracle, but how to pay for it. ...

New Twist on Combined Wi-Fi/Cellular

New Twist on Combined Wi-Fi/Cellular 12/03/2003 02:42 PM
I'm curious if the writer of this article didn't quite understand the technology: According to this piece, Calypso is marketing a platform that will route calls from a Calypso cell phone over Wi-Fi to a cell phone network. I'm guessing that in reality, Calypso is marketing a platform that offers voice over Wi-Fi when in range of a Wi-Fi network as well as voice over regular cellular networks. Calypso's Web site doesn't go into much detail about how its technology works. China Telecom has spent $500 million on Calypso's platform, which is described here as delivering voice over Wi-Fi and cellular....

New Twist on Municipal Hotspots 06/28/2004 02:42 PM
Manchester, New Hampshire, plans to announce in mid-July that a hotspot will be available downtown for anyone to use free for one hour: It appears that the city decided it wanted a network and put out a request for proposal. Signull Technologies offered to fund and build the network and then offer one free hour per day per user. An hour a day might be useful for folks who may want to check email during their lunch break or for visitors to town. The agreement sounds like a good way for Signull to pull in potential customers and for the city to offer a useful service for visitors and residents....

This morning, though, I got one with a twist I don't understand. the subject line was "Don't open this, I'm pushing cia!is." No, I didn't open it....

Vendors, though, indicated that regulatory compliance was going to be the theme over the next year. Both will be big topics, but there was one announcement that I considered the bombshell of this event and it wasn't in either area.
