How Many Open Source Licenses Do You Need? 276
jammag writes "Bruce Perens, who wrote the original licensing rules for Open Source software in 1997, notes that there are a sprawling 73 open source licenses currently in existence. But he identifies an essential four — well, actually just two — that developers, companies, and individuals need. In essence, he cuts through the morass and shows developers, in particular, how to protect their work. (And yes, he favors GPL3 over GPL2.) For his own coding work, he's fond of the 'sharing with rules' license, which stays true to the Open Source ethos of shared code yet also enables him to get paid by companies who use it in their commercial products."

What? The people here are talking about other kind of cloud?
Hmmmm... maybe I should buy some new books...

I'm amazed that the optimal speed range is 40 to 60 mph (or 65 to 95 km/h).
In the town where I live here in Brazil the speed limit is 60 km/h (or 37 mph). Now I know that I'm consuming more gasoline than I needed.
If it's not bad enough, lots of places in the city have some obstacles in the streets to force the drivers to slow down even more. Some of them have some sense, specially near schools, but some are just stupid.
Look what I'm talking about:
