Star FSF, SGI Cooperated to Resolve Licensing Issue in X.org, Mesa
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 8th Jan 2009 00:15 UTC
GNU, GPL, Open Source Thanks to SGI, a potential disaster for Free software purists has been averted. Back in January 2008, it was discovered by the OpenBSD guys that some of the contributions to X.org and the Mesa 3D Graphics Library made by SGI were covered under permissive open source licenses that didn't fall within FSF's definition of Free software. The FSF Compliance Lab worked with SGI to resolve the issue, and they succeeded.

Your point is not impression logic or logical at all ...


Because it doesnt fit into your logic?


I got that part , but then it's false , it's just as false as it's illogical , you don't redefine logic and rewrite on part of a statement in order to win an argument , you prove it logic or illogic.


So your the only one who are allowed to redefine logic?


Slavery is not an option , BSD's should not be an option where free Software is concerned.


Who cares about "free" software besides fsf nuts like your self?


Your describing copyleft and copyright stealing , neither of witch BSD as or protect in practice , in theory both are there do.


So according to your "logic" copyleft is taking bsd licensed code and call it your own invention?


What's the point of trusting the FSF to make and protect Free software if they end up making open source witch usually lead to closed/proprietary.


Why even trust the fsf in the first place?
