  1. @smaffulli A few lines of code would be fair use, IIUC, regardless of license or copyright of the source. Serious chunks? That's a question.
  2. @prcutler Details, link?
  3. @smaffulli If CC-BY-SA text in GPL code is technically illegal, do we want to actively encourage it? Or just call it fair use? !CC
  4. @smaffulli Agreed, would be zealotry to complain about that, but... (ctd)
  5. @zak @smaffulli It's an issue if you take text from docs & put it (as comments) in source code. A developer here thinks that's an issue.
  6. !FSF says: no CC-BY-SA 2.0 for software or documentation, incompatible with GPL (but so's GFDL!) & GFDL (so?) http://tr.im/suEc ????? !CC
  7. @joshuagay Thanks - I passed that on to the LXDE folks here.
  8. Is it true, #GFDL or CC-BY-SA text can't be used as comments in #GPL source code? (Other than a sentence or 2 as fair use.) !FSF !CC
  9. Licenses. CC-BY-SA not DFSG (!Debian Free Software Guidelines) for images, as jpg may be shared, & source (e.g. psd file) not shared...? !CC
  10. @carocr @kenami In what sense does Google tell me what to buy? (I do think there'd be less suspicion if their algorithms were #open.)
  11. Anyone heard of a "email to wiki input"? In !MediaWiki or other #wiki platform. http://tr.im/srZM
  12. @facyla Actually, something to do with our "Category:" namespace numbering, I think. Hoping we can tweak the extension...?
  13. Really like Wikipedia's new search. Wondering how hard it would be to use it on Appropedia. !MediaWiki
  14. New !FCKEditor group on Identi.ca - that's a !freesoftware WYSIWYG editor for the web. (http://tr.im/somx , for Twitter-only people)
  15. @toolstothrive: you saw http://www.su.pr/ ? Shares the shortened urls on StumbleUpon. I'm trying it.
  16. !MediaWiki: Who else is using the !FCKEditor? "Insert/Edit Categories" is broken on Appropedia.org, works fine on mediawiki.fckeditor.net
  17. Just created the !FCKEditor group on Identi.ca - (that's http://tr.im/somx , for Twitter-only people)
  18. @xemacs Aye - GFDL has minor probs (e.g. impractical for hard copies) but nothing serious for Linux. But CC-BY-SA is becoming the standard.
  19. A question for !FSF: RD @gregknicholson Why's there a date limit on GFDL → CC-BY-SA relicensing? !CC
  20. @daw Certainly they can stick with GFDL. But I don't know why they'd want to - it's far more likely they don't know about the deadline. !CC
