  1. @4yrs2l8 no idea, suggestions are welcome. I don't even know what distro the freerunner I got is running now

  2. 60 hours with an openmoko neo freerunner, quite happy with it. thanks !fsf for the loan. I'll look into building !linuxlibre for it

  3. @bkuhn probably enough for DFSG, and to qualify as Free Software, though. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=494308

  4. @bkuhn not that using request_firmware() to ask for non-Free software makes for a FSDG-compliant system, mind you

    about 21 hours ago from xmpp in context

  5. @bkuhn upstream's move to request_firmware (save for a few new drivers in staging on every release) made it easier

  6. @fontana AFAIK Debian ships a Free Linux these days, or at least has it in testing. when will RHE[G]L do that? @brettcsmith @bkuhn

  7. @zotz aaah... for me this just became a subject to write about on Talk Like a Pirate day ;-) I agree, it's better. but not good enough

  8. @zotz oh! it got anything to do with attacking ships? you talking about software taken from an attacked ship or what?

  9. @zotz the first part, I got. but WTF is ARR??

  10. @zotz context got messed up with XMPP. this (see context) was the sentence I didn't understand and asked you to rephrase

  11. @zotz I still don't get how this relates with original author distributing only binaries (never sources) under say GPL

    about 2 days ago from xmpp in context

  12. @zotz I don't understand, can you rephrase?

  13. @notafish like, want to practice a Red Hat patent on non-Free Software you wrote? easy, publish only the binaries under an approved license

    about 3 days ago from web

  14. @notafish others then can't redistribute. a classic example of why rules that demand certain licenses are myopic eg Red Hat patent promise

  15. @notafish the copyright holder is not subject to the conditions in the license it offers to third parties => no obligation to release source

    about 3 days ago from web in context

  16. @bkuhn there are untested legal theories that in Brazil a beneficiary of the GPL could legally demand compliance from a distributor

  17. @faconti sorte sua, até aqui ;-) pena eu não ter encontrado você mais depois da mesa no CParty. tempinho que não falamos pessoalmente

  18. @faconti celular não deixa de ser um dispositivo de rastreamento só por rodar !softwarelivre

  19. !linuxlibre patch-libre-2.6.33-rc6 and freed-ora devel binaries at http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/freed-ora/
