      I commented briefly (again) on my blog re: #Naughton's new "#Google violates !GPL w/ !Android / !Linux" FUD: http://ur1.ca/4x5g2 *Sigh*

      @benanov, certainly not while #Microsoft & other anti-Free-Software companies remain on #Naughton's client list, anyway.

      @bkuhn Why not just prove the guy wrong with a couple of simple links? E.g. HTC: http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads

      @ovidius,his argument is a violation occurred & is now resolved & under !GPLv2 ยง4 they've no distribution rights. It's hard to disprove that

      @bkuhn Depends on what precisely the violation is. HTC "waits" about 60 days to release the sources: goo.gl/8fUmN

      @ovidius, yes, I'm familiar with that (remember, #Garrett's talk was part of !FaiFCast ). Question is: will a !Linux developer enforce?

      @benanov OK so what if I want to feed my family and income depends on keeping code a secret, what license can i use? or what business model?

      @bkuhn I'd have to confess I never had the time to listen to the "new" FaiF podcast. :-(

      @ikaruga2099 You can use Free Software that doesn't have copy-left provisions, like BSD 2-clause license.

      It's possible you've heard some stuff about #Naughton, !Google, !Android & !Linux this week. I urge you to ignore it. http://ur1.ca/5snl8

      @fontana, yeah, but I still am unsure about how to pronounce it properly. Is it just so-FIST-ick or something more complicated?

      about 7 months ago
    • P. J. McDermott P. J. McDermott Bradley M. Kuhn

      Based on the pronunciation of sophistry (<http://ur1.ca/5sxl6>) and that of -tic words generally, I'd guess sa-FI-stic.

      @ikaruga2009 Why would you publish under an open license then? Just do a normal EULA that says that the user has no rights

      Okay. Are you straightening things out with the violation I reported? :)
