[SLUG] James Vasile Talks about Legal Aspects of Software Licences
Hi https://soundcloud.com/richard-ibbotson/james-vasile-came-to-sheffield I did this so that everyone could listen to it. Not for me to prevent it's distribution. With that in mind I thought I should put it on SoundCloud. This is a presentation that we did back in April 2008. This is a talk given at Sheffield Hallam University some years ago about the subject of open source software and legal aspects of the General Public Licence. Replicating the success of free software. The content of James' talk was something like the following. The Free Software movement has proven itself in every imaginable way. We have quality software on servers, desktops and in embedded systems. Free Software is used in homes, offices, retail and in manufacturing. Everywhere from back rooms to classrooms and boardrooms. We've spawned new business models and changed the economics of old ones. The challenges that are left will be met and soon. Such has been the success of free software that we have spawned entire other movements. From Creative Commons to open hardware to open science, everybody wants to replicate Free Software's achievements in new media. Even further, there are people fighting for values that, while beloved in the Free Software world, are not protected by the Free Software society. Values like privacy and data portability between web services. Each of these attempts borrows from Free Software's history. This talk looks at what is being taken, what is being left, and why. It's an inquiry into the future, as we ask how to nurture these nascent movements. -- Richard www.sheflug.org.uk https://twitter.com/SleepyPenguin1 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

So there doesn't appear any theoretical reason as to why it wouldn't work. Let us know the results if you get it working. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] TCP/IP over I2C
Wouldn't Modbus be a more suitable framework for out-of-band management? It's normally used over RS-485 "networks" - a single pair multi-drop configuration with a single master. It would have far lower overhead than TCP/IP. You might start at www.modbus.org/tech.php . Cheers, Kevin.
