お久しぶりです。

　突然のメール申し訳ありません。私、大人の女性のための交際グループを主宰し
ています山下
香穂（３２歳）と申します。
　私どものグループでは現在、女性の会員数に男性の会員数が追いつかない状況と
なっております。そこで、このような形で過去に登録いただいたお客様にメールを
させていただくこととなりました。もし、怪しいと思ったり、まったく興味がない
方はこのメールを破棄してくださいますようよろしくお願いいたします。

ただ、

このメールを最後まで読んだ事により、ワンランク上の生活をおくられている方も
数多くいらっしゃる事実が存在します。３分ほどで最後まで読む事ができますので
どうぞお読みくださいませ。

　女性会員様の中には生活的にも金銭的にも余裕があるのに、今の生活には『もの
たりなさ』を感じている会員様が多く、このグループで男性の方と知り合い『今よ
りもっと充実した生活をしたい』と思っている会員様がほとんどです。そのような
女性会員様は、今の自分を満たしてくれるお礼としての謝礼などを考えてる女性も
多数在籍しております。

Newland: I second Torvalds Motion, It's Time to Dump the Penguin

20050401 "Newland: I second Torvalds Motion, It's Time to Dump the Penguin"

Let us, on this most sacred day only, become a world of fools.  Let us
imagine the unimaginable.

Upon reading "Torvalds: It's Time to Dump the Penguin"
http://www.linux.org/news/LO2005/mascot_20050401.html I replied:

I propose we adopt the image of one of several Linus characters:

1) Linus of Peanuts fame, assuming the owner would grant a no-fee license
to the free software community, for GPL'd software only

2) Linus Pauling, perhaps the world's greatest chemist of all time

3) Linus of Linux fame, a geek of our own, to trump the be-spectacled image of
the Monopolist Corporation geek 

With all due respect to 3), I prefer option 1) so let me elaborate:

Please see:

http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/peanuts/meet_the_gang/meet_linus.html

Perhaps there is no bigger fool than I.  However, launching a
partnership that, in turn, launches the free software community's
write-once, run-anywhere operating system, media kit, etc., under the
visage of world loved cartoon characters would, as Emril would say,
let's "kick it up a notch", on the world stage of human comedy.

Seeking Critical Comments

Greetings,

I have been revising a book I released last year, "Penguin in the Pew",
which helps the Christian community (specifically) to understand free and
open source (noting the somewhat subtle difference) software, especially
GNU/Linux.  RMS communicated with me last year that he believes Christians
should see the moral imperative in free software.  I happen to agree, and
think that, at the very least, we need to wrestle with the question of
morality and software licenses.

I have written to some extent about these philosophical issues, and would
like to receive some feedback on my presentation of them.  While I recognize
some differences between the FSF and the OSI, I have attempted to help
Christians grasp the nature of the debates within the FOSS community and
between the FOSS and proprietary communities. Your religious views are less
important than your feedback on my presentation.

I anticipate finishing the project and releasing the book for print by the
end of the month, so time is fairly important.  While you're welcome to
review the complete book, I would ask potential critics from this list to
focus on three chapters, where the philosophical and legal questions are
most addressed.  Proceeds from the sale of the book will fund my own
advocacy efforts in the Charlotte, NC area.

If you are interested in offering feedback please e-mail me off-list.  I
will then provide a link to download the OOo Writer doc.

Regards,
Don

NYC LOCAL: Tuesday 12 April 2005 Lisp NYC: Bob Coyne on WordsEye, the natural language text to three dimensional picture system

<blockquote
  what="official Lisp NYC announcement">

  From: Heow Eide-Goodman <lists <at> alphageeksinc.com>
  To: lisp <at> lispnyc.org
  Date: 30 Mar 2005 12:04:23 -0500

  Please join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, April 12th from 7:00 pm
  to 9:00 pm at Trinity Lutheran Church.

  Bob Coyne, entrepeneur and old-school Lisp developer will be presenting
  a special lisp-eyes-only preview of WordsEye.  It is the culmination of
  years of work and highlights the technology that he developed.  It is,
  of course, written in Lisp.

      WordsEye: Creating 3D scenes from textual descriptions

      WordsEye   allows  untrained   users   to  spontaneously   and
      interactively create  3D scenes by simply  describing them. By
      using natural  language, ordinary users can  quickly create 3D
      scenes  without  having  to  learn special  software,  acquire
      artistic  skills,  or  even  touch a  desktop  window-oriented
      interface.   Creating graphics with  natural language  gives a
      new  sense of  power  to words  and  suggests applications  in
      education and creative play as  well as the creation of visual
      art itself. WordsEye  relies on a large database  of 3D models
      and images  to depict objects and  surface textures.  WordsEye
      is written in Common Lisp and runs on Linux.

"Adobe Open Source License" GPL compatible?

http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/xmp/sdk/license.txt

I suspect it isn't due to the following ...

... however it isn't clear whether these do not apply if source is 
distributed and what the effect on its GPL compatibility would be if 
that were the case.

Yes.

And what you see there isn't true either. Apart from the GNU Republic,
compilations can't be infected by the GPL. And derivative works under
copyright law (not GNU copyright law), fall under the GPL and only 
the GPL. The concept of "GPL incompatibility" is an idiot test.

My answer is below it. As far as the GPL is concerned, everything 
is compatible with it. It might not be so under jursidiction of 
the GNU Republic (where only Mr President Stallman knows and rules
what is "compatible"), but who cares?

alexander.

Your insultuous tone alone removes you any credibility you could have at
the eyes of one who is ignorant of the law.

Because those that have somewhat more insight, see that your arguments
do not apply, because you're talking of a radically different concept
(first sale doctrine) than (re)distribution as if they where the exact
same thing.
