Well... this is a way lesser evil. But still vala is not in my heart, and tomboy has to go away too: gnome official dependence on mono must become optional.

Have those people ever thought about the scalability of their technologies and the issues that will reveal themselves at mass market scale??????????

In an "intellectual property" (patent on your neurons!) world, the best balance would be the GNU (A)(L)GPL for long term insurance of open source software quality. Once IP is gone (patent system etc...), license won't matter because everything will be public domain (everything not physical will be free to copy/modify/improve/share)... since then, GNU (A)(L)GPL in the meantime.

... and how much GNU GPL violation? And how much money is forbidden to open source and free operating systems because of not legitimate and digital prison alike operating systems?

You mean the code does not not have interfaces for the UI and OS??? You mean they wrote 2 clients that do *not* share code? Are you making a fool of me?

Your employees are internal... your users/clients are external... if you distribute a device to your users/clients, it's external and your must publish GNU (L)GPL code. One of the main purposes of the GNU (A)(L)GPL is to have a legal leverage in order to get optimal code.

It depends on the country laws, contract and employer.

My contract is based on french telecom legal template which says:
- code specific to the assigned work: all copyrights belong to the employer.
- code *not* specific to any assigned work:copyrigths are shared by the employer and the employee (you need an agreement to work on that code). Namely if the employee departs from the company, he will keep the copyrights.

Of course, there may be more about this in the french law (I was told, french copyrights on code always belong to the employee). And of course, an employer aware of the open source ways would let the copyrights go to the employee or at least be shared.

The main issue with the shared copyrights: the employer would have the right to close the code produced by the employee. And that's a very big issue for GNU GPL coders! You know... those guys who want to have the best open source code installed by default on all systems.

May we have those builds, even unsupported?

Internet is not anonymous... wow they are smart! :P What they don't say: IPs can be poison and computers behind some IPs could be compromised. Then they may identify some IPs which share some content. But do they check the content? And above all, they cannot link what happend with an IP to its owner. They cannot prove it with inexpensive systems.

I bought with my money a PS3 digital prison for 300 €.
Something is not right...
