Thanks. I just realized the dumbness of my question - I was already well aware
of the answer, I just didn't grep my mind properly or something.

Coders are perfectly free to develop non-GPL code using GPL tools (or using
derived GPL tools that are tweaked-and-not-distributed).

Going off on a tangent to the main debate:

The compiler can be proprietary if you keep it in house.

But I'm wondering about the MIPS binaries, since they are distributed generally.
Does the electronics company provide source for the MIPS binaries under GPL?
No? Yes? What's the reasoning there?

[ilugd] ideas taking over the world vs zombies taking over the world

2009-08-18 Thread Pawan
I was just reading

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8206280.stm

Two things struck me about the above article on bbc news.

1. The professor's name is a bit of a sanitization problem that reminds me of
http://xkcd.com/327/

2. In the article, the ability of ideas to spread and take over the world in
real life is explained as being comparable to the ability of zombies to spread
and take over the world in movies.

Ironically, in real life there is a battle between the GPL spreading freedom and
security, and the zombie machines running on MS systems that go around spreading
spam and creatng more zombies on the net.

Sorry, I need to correct myself there. The number is actually 42 infringements

True. But it isn't really MS bashing. It is more of a bitter laugh over how
pushing something evil as a policy can turn back and hurt you. Even if looks
like it will favour the pusher at the time. 

To go off topic, you'd have to do something like post a bitter laugh over how
the ISI pushed something evil like terrorism as a policy and ended up close to
destroying Pakistan, even though it looked like a good idea at the time. And
then start ranting about how MS is a terrorist organisation that hates our
freedom etc.

But the original poster was pretty much on topic, since MS is using patents as a
weapon against linux. It was MS, after all, that has famously claimed (in a
classic FUD attack) that the linux kernel infringed on 235 patents.

While linux is protected from this kind of crap from MS, the patent quagmire is
a danger to free software, and to innovation generally. So I'd say it is of
interest to us. 

As much as we'd like to stay out of these issues, MS won't let you. So we should
be aware of these.

[ilugd] the freedom to share information

2009-08-12 Thread Pawan
Rather a troll of a story here:
http://news.slashdot.org/story/09/08/12/018255/Leaving-the-GPL-Behind?art_pos=2

and the subsequent discussion stinks a bit, because there's a lot of false
logic, ad hominem attacks and assumptions mixed in (it's slashdot discussing RMS
after all).

But one of the most interesting informative posts buried under more highly
moderated crap, IMHO, was:

###begin quote###
Re:Control freak (Score:3, Interesting)
by Squiggle (8721) on Wednesday August 12, @01:07AM (#29033741)

RMS actually makes a distinction between different types of information and how
free it needs to be. At one of his talks he discussed 3 categories:

1) works of practical use (educational materials, software tools, etc):
- should be free (GPL)

2) works of testimony (what people experienced or believe):
- republishing with modification is misrepresentation,
- commercial use covered by existing copyright

3) works of art and entertainment:
- commercial use requires permission, personal use is fine

His position is nuanced, not stupid. I actually think the distinction is too
difficult to make and it is best to error on the side of freedom, but there are
certainly some tricky "moral rights" or artistic integrity issues for categories
2 and 3 with GPL-style freedom.

Thanks Saurabh, an interesting read. My perspective on this:

There have been enough instances in the past of government accumulating powers
that can be abused. The way such power is abused is generally: shoot first, let
the person who is shot clean up the mess. Obviously pretty unfair.

The best way of dealing with such abuse is to make government truly accountable
for its actions. Design a process that is a millstone that fits around the neck
of each official that abuses such power. The RTI is one such millstone
(unfortunately accruing cruft to curb its power, but still a shining example of
something that really helped). Clauses such as 69A/B may need to have an
accountability/millstone provision added (if RTI isn't enough).

Governance in India fails regularly because the people it affects aren't aware
of the abuse of law failure path. This partly due to huge currents of inertia in
culture and neglect of education.

Fighting against the current with protests is a valuable way of making India a
better place.

I have Lenovo R61 and FC8 x86_64 is installed in dual boot with Vista Business.
I have observed that in FC8 the Fn+F5 combination does not start the
inbuilt bluetooth. However, if I keep the Bluetooth module in on
position while shutting down the Laptop in Vista and then boot it in
FC8, the bluetooth works fine thereafter.

It seems Airtel has different rates depending upon the Circle you are
in. Here in Ahmedabad, Airtel offers GPRS on prepaid @Rs.15/day
unlimited which can be activated/deactivated by an SMS.. It earlier
used to be Rs.10/day. The same thing on Airtel postpaid was earlier
costing Rs.600/month.

USB/PCMCIA modems offered by Reliance/Tata will bound you to these
operators. You cannot use Tata's USB/PCMCIA with Reliance network &
vice-versa. Plus, also have a look at their rates for time-based &
data-based plans. I am not sure about the case with GPRS modems.

I have used Airtel GPRS here in Gujarat. Compared to that I find
BSNL's GPRS much better, at least in Gujarat. Besides N73, I have also
used Samsung X-700 with same results.

I am using GPRS with my Linux Desktop (FC4) and it runs fine. I
connect using my Nokia N73 with a USB data cable and the connection is
a BSNL Postpaid. The speed is average 4KB/s just sufficient for
browsing and moderate downloads.

Tata and Reliance offer wireless internet using CDMA technology. The
speed you get with CDMA is better than GPRS but still not so great,
about 4-5 times of what you get with GPRS.

In my view BSNL GPRS is much cheaper. Rs.100p.m. for Postpaid
connection and Rs.199p.m. for unlimited GPRS in home circle. If you
intend using GPRS then best option in my view is to have a GPRS
capable handset with USB datacable and a BSNL CellOne connection.
