A long way off from "inbox zero", aiming for "inbox golf". Right now that's down 1000 messages/day, but it gets harder as I approach zero.2011-11-29T05:42:07+00:00 To: Public

Will Linux Mint contribute their GNOME3 extensions, or patches for their fork of GNOME2 back upstream to GNOME? I'd give them a thumbs up.2011-11-09T22:36:11+00:00 To: Public

@allisonrandal, your dent is misleading. !FSF opposes Restricted boot. Appears @linuxfoundation, #Canonical & #RedHat want it, but different2011-10-21T17:36:53+00:00 To: Public

@allisonrandal, we fundamentally disagree. inbound=outbound (as practiced by !LInux & expressed formally by @fontana) uses license that way.@allisonrandal, as for the "purpose" of !GPL specifically, it was indeed *intended* that *all* corners of a project would be bound by GPL.
@allisonrandal When I license a contribution under the GPL, that is _very much_ a contributor->project purpose.Dan Scott at 2011-06-29T11:58:37+00:00

@allisonrandal, I've decided I don't wanna be a #Harmony developer. I somewhat doubt I'll be a user, either, but I will look at your release2011-06-29T18:09:08+00:00 To: Bradley M. Kuhn, Public
@bkuhn But, yes, a project could decide to accept either/both assignment and license versions.2011-06-29T18:01:57+00:00 To: Bradley M. Kuhn, Public
@bkuhn It does make it easier sometimes. (I figure you agree with that, since Conservancy also optionally accepts assignments.)@allisonrandal, #Conservancy accepts assignment only when developers request it. Will #Harmony agreements be similarly optional by default?2011-06-29T18:00:56+00:00 To: Bradley M. Kuhn, Public
@bkuhn And you should know my opinion, after working with me on the Perl/Parrot CLA. No, I don't believe CAA is required for enforcement.@allisonrandal,I don't recall discussing enforcement during !Perl licensing discussion; Also, ISTR only working on *license* w/you, not #CLA@allisonrandal, I do recall we discussed the #Python #CLA for my #pynie patches, but I ended up not signing it (& I hear Pynie is dead, too)2011-06-29T17:58:06+00:00 To: Bradley M. Kuhn, Public
@bkuhn I guess you're inferring that Canonical using a CAA is a strong statement that everyone should? It's a weak inference, and not true.@allisonrandal, Not inferring! Jane #Silber, @sabdfl, & Amanda #Brock have all stated clearly that companies should & *deserve* ©A from devs2011-06-29T15:49:17+00:00 To: Richard Fontana, Public
@fontana How so?2011-06-29T14:55:45+00:00 To: Public
@kevingranade Then it comes down to a question of how much copyright is enough to do enforcement.@allisonrandal, Amanda #Brock has stated that universal © holership is required for enforcement. Is that position also yours & !Canonical's?2011-06-29T13:39:05+00:00 To: Richard Fontana, Public
@fontana You could just as well say it empowers the project to do enforcement even if the developers don't want to bother.
@allisonrandal A developer may like that if the org is likely to enforce (like @fsf). But @canonical has never enforced: http://ur1.ca/4khfy
@allisonrandal yes he could but he's not talking about that advantage. He means the disadvantage that Canonical wants right to proprietarize@allisonrandal,I say again: #CLA/©AA isn't needed for enforcement authority;eg: #Conservancy acts as Erik #Andersen's !GPL enforcement agent2011-06-28T09:58:47+00:00 To: Public
@bkuhn Doesn't mean the devs are *right* to blur the legal details, just that the finer points of licensing are picked up later.@allisonrandal,diff btw !GPL, !LGPL &permissive licenses aren't "finer points",they're the basics. You've low opinion of developers it seemsBradley M. Kuhn at 2011-06-28T10:43:45+00:00
