FSF, SGI Cooperated to Resolve Licensing Issue in X.org, Mesa

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 8th Jan 2009 00:15 UTC

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.

I don't speak "english mother f--ker" , must be a variant on " StephenBeDoper english " . , . , . , .

Yep, you found me out - I am actually Quentin Tarantino. Congrats on your deductive abilities.

No what are StephenBeDoper punctuation ?

Maybe you should try mastering basic English literacy *before* you move on to anything more advanced. Just a thought.

How can you be found when you don't know your lost ?

Where is the school for master in StephenBeDoper literacy ? Are you the only student/teacher there ?
Does it means I get to move in with you ?

Because I once was lost - but now I'm found.

Or to translate that into Moulineuf:

"I of the past was lost , but now I is found."

Where is the school for master in StephenBeDoper literacy ?

I'm flattered, but I'm afraid I have to break a disturbing fact to you: English has been around for about 1,000 years. I didn't actually invent it.

But if you're interested in improving your mastery of this exciting new language, I would suggest you enroll at your local middle school.
