GPL-BSD flamefest over code
User Rating: / 0
Thursday, 12 April 2007
A flamewar on a free or open source software mailing list isn't all that unusual. There are a lot of people with very fixed ideas on these lists and they are not averse to telling others so - in frank language.

Sunday, 01 April 2007
In what many long-time observers of free and open source software consider a natural progression, Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer is to join the board of the Linux Foundation.

Thursday, 29 March 2007
The GPL version 3 will take a few months more to come into effect. A March deadline has slipped and it is now looking like it may take until the final quarter of 2007 before the licence is formally ushered in.

User Rating: / 0
Monday, 26 March 2007

Every year, Novell holds its annual tradeshow, which it calls Brainshare, in Salt Lake City, Utah. This year, the company has had a much smaller, but possibly more raucuous, companion, across the street.
 
Dell, Linux... and Mark Shuttleworth
User Rating: / 0
Monday, 19 March 2007

User Rating: / 0
Tuesday, 13 March 2007

User Rating: / 0
Friday, 09 March 2007
