Hello,
We have just noticed that one of the programs in our proprietary arsenal
uses GPL code (libipq, the netfilter interface library) even though the
contractor who wrote it was instructed to re-code the application to avoid
using GPL code.

I did not look.
If the library has a published interface and all your programmer did
is call it using that interface, then your code is not covered by
the GPL.
Not true. According to
The whole purpose of the GPL is to keep software freedom.
I hate all those who try to bypass the GPL and find a way to write
propriatry software and bypass the GPL.
I usually avoid working with such companies.

At what appears to be random intervals (sometimes twice in a short time and
sometimes several days apart) many of my partitions disappear. When I
check, I see that they are not mounted. Running mount -a gets everything back
to normal.
Here are a few things I've noticed:

Shlomo,
Can you please tell us a bit more on your configuration?
1. How do you usually mount your partitions? during boot through /etc/fstab?
another approach?
2. What device files are the problematic and what are their corresponding
mount points?
3. Though you said there's nothing in your logs,

The solution should have been to release the software under GPL, that is the
whole purpose of the GPL.
I hate those who try finding solutions to keep software not free.

there is the source code of the examples from his book - you might find

Everything that links to a GPL'ed library is a derivative work - it is
explicit in GPL.
However the GPL is a COPYRIGHT license, not a technology license.

Hi,
Basically 'mounts' just don't disappear. So, the only possible explanation
is that some task on your machine umounts your partitions.
Now, for the question what?, I find it just the right time to experiment
with systemtap. (I truly hope that Mandriva 2007 already supports it)
So, please find

I did not say anything against Amos. I think he is doing the right thing.
What I say is that I don't like the whole idea of propriatry software and
that people try to find ways they can use GPL with propriatry software.
I think the whole purpose of the GPL is to eliminate propriatry software and
