[ilugd] [x-posted] potentially-damaging news: Apple 'buys' CUPS

2007-07-12 Thread Linux Lingam
apple has probably done 'a hostile takeover' of the CUPS project, by
'buying' the author.

http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;1249882244;fp;16;fpid;1

the community thinks this is to safeguard apple from issues with gpl3,
as apple's printing-engine relies on CUPS. maybe, maybe not.

apple also bought the GPL-ed software similarly, that was the
precursor to 'shake' its video-compositing app.

can we expect several more of such similar 'hostile' take-overs of
GPL-ed software where a lead-programmer essentially has the right to
revoke the GPL license for whatever motivations?

HP, that relies on CUPS to keep its printers compatible with GnuLinux,
has yet to respond or issue a statement.

could this have an impact on our GPL-ed ability to 'print-to-pdf' using CUPS?

It's not possible for anyone to revoke the GPL license on the code
that is already out there. In the worst case we fork the last GPL/LGPL
release.  The GPLv3 question is more valid though - I have not seen the
license for CUPS but unless it explicitly states 2 or later of GPL
then it can not be relicensed under GPLv3.

Bah. Repeat four words after me, boys and girls:

Though I must say that I am kind of surprised that Novell is saying that

 community product remains under GPL anyway.

Won't it be complex? Once a part of the code is relicensed, the
remaining part may become unusable.

Also, in this case, the programmer has changed the license in such a
way that it allows Apple to build on a GPL software and not keep their
modifications open source. In fact, the way the exception is worded,
it would be possible for any company to pay up a fee to this
programmer and have their name included in the list of parties that
are excluded from provisions of GPL.

Imagine Microsoft doing that!! Buying license exception from all the
GPL software they are interested in, do some cosmetic changes,
close it and call it theirs!! In some cases, they may even be able to
use free software to actually kick free software out of the scene.

Sounds dangerous.

 I dont think cups is project driven by single
programmer. Apple hiring lead programmer presents no
threat to the project as long as lead programmer is
dedicated to the project. 
 If lead programmer joining Apple is a 'takeover' then
Google has taken over python long ago and M$ has taken
over couple OSS projects. 
 On the other hand if the project is run by a team of
programmers then lead programmer can no way revoke the
license of the software unless all the code
contributors agree to revoke the license.
