Moglen's underling Fontana in action. http://www.ciocentral.com/article/Questions+Still+Abound+over+GPL+3+/171577_1.aspx
-------- "On the DRM front, there is little the GPL can do to fix this, and this is a matter that needs to be taken up by the legislature, Fontana said. But, that being said, the license also makes it difficult for people to use the GPL to invoke DRM protections, "and we want to make sure that if they are going to invoke DRM restrictions that they can't use our license to do that," he said. Also, on the issue of derivative works, Fontana said the draft license has not changed the language that defines what a derivative work is, "and I don't think that we can." But Lawrence Rosen, a partner with Rosenlaw & Einschlag, said people want to know whether, if they linked two pieces of work together, this creates a derivative work. "People do not know if that is the case here, and the license is not entirely clear about the obligation to release source code, and that uncertainty hurts potential adoption of the GPL," he said. -------- Blogging-ly-yours. regards, alexander.
