Caras, Leiam os comentários no Gizmodo. Os caras destroem essa noticia, alias o Gizmodo já foi bom e confiável (rs).
Menos, menos. A M$ tem toneladas de outras patentes que são mais prejudiciais pro FOSS do que essa. E tb não lembro de nenhum processo dela contra a comunidade. Ameças de processo sim. Mas logo percebeu que isso era um tiro no pé. Sem contar da irritação que gerou no do Depto de Justiça dos EUA. Enfim, essa noticia, sux. Vamos gastar nosso neuronios com questões realmente importantes pra comunidade... *Don't re-publish crap like this without reading the source. The patent has nothing to do with patenting sudo, and in fact it's cited as previous work. It's about a system that automatically detects that a security elevation is required, then offers to elevate by offering a list of accounts that have the required rights. It's about automatically detecting the permission problem and then offering other accounts. None of which sudo does. And before you say, no OS X or Ubunto or Vista don't do that either, they don't detect the security required, the prompts we get before doing something are coded in the apps and not automatic. Groklaw is just propanga. They are just posting their fake headlines to support their viewpoint and they're as much law consultants or analyst as Perez is a Hilton. It's basically FoxNews for patent and FOSS *Outro.* **It's not specifically sudo, it's just some generic line that could remind it. Actually, it could be tons of other things. But I'm shure Microsoft haters will find in this yet another reason to call it evil or whatever. Have fun. Sounds more like a patent to protect itself from random unknown companies or "inventors" that comes out of nowhere claiming they made the patent first and sueing for ridiculous ammounts of money. On another note, serious question here, has Microsoft ever sued other companies with frivolous reasons? Answer is probably yes, but I can't remember anything like that. You know, like Apple sueing fruits companies or colleges/universities for using a logo that looks like... you know, apples * 2009/11/12 Thiago Gomes <thiagome...@gmail.com> > Repassando de uma outra lista > > > Site: http://gizmodo.com/5402796/microsoft-patents-the-sudo-command > > Patente: > > http://patft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=7,617,530.PN.&OS=PN/7,617,530&RS=PN/7,617,530 > > > > > > -- > Thiago Gomes > > -- > Mais sobre o Ubuntu em português: http://www.ubuntu-br.org/comece > > Lista de discussão Ubuntu Brasil > Histórico, descadastramento e outras opções: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-br > -- Mais sobre o Ubuntu em português: http://www.ubuntu-br.org/comece Lista de discussão Ubuntu Brasil Histórico, descadastramento e outras opções: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-br
