Thanatermesishi all16:07
Thanatermesisi have a question about CC and licensing software16:08
bkhlWe will probably say that you should look to GNU GPL or BSD for software licenses...16:12
Thanatermesisi have look at it...16:13
Thanatermesisbut i search a thing more similar to: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/16:13
bkhlhttp://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html lists a few things like that16:14
bkhlFree Art License maybe - "permits commercial distribution, but any larger work including the copylefted work must be free"16:15
bkhlThough that one doesn't really address software specific issues either, so you'd be just as well off with CC.16:16
Thanatermesisyeah, aparently is only for audio/video/documents :/16:18
bkhlWhich one?16:18
bkhlWell, software is "documents", isn't it?16:18
Thanatermesiswell, what i search aparently is considered "non-free" looking the point 2ยบ of the license to i have look in CC (no comercial interest)16:18
Thanatermesishum16:18
Thanatermesisin some part.. yes16:18
bkhlYeah, the license will be considered "non-free software" if you prohibit uses for particular purposes, like commercial purposes.16:18
bkhlSo it would not be possible to include it in free Linux distributions like Debian, for instance.16:18
*** nathany has quit IRC16:19
Thanatermesisthe problem of the free licenses for software is to look very for the software... but nothing for the author16:19
Thanatermesisthe author is "nothing" on this world16:19
bkhlYeah, Free Software aims to liberate the users.16:20
Thanatermesisand slave the dev's lol16:20
bkhlDevelopers are users too.16:20
Thanatermesisok.. look a example16:20
bkhlI've probably heard it before...16:21
Thanatermesisi make a software, i work on it since 2 years... and i want to living from the work of this software...16:21
bkhlThen why would you give it away at all?16:21
Thanatermesiswhat happens if a "big company" take it and sell it how "his work".... then my software and me are "nothing", and all my work is lost16:21
bkhlUnless of course you can base a business model on it that doesn't require that you monopolise the source code16:22
bkhlThat's why you use copyleft.16:22
bkhlThat way the company in the story would have to make their changes public too.16:22
bkhl(That's what the "ShareAlike" part of the CC license does, as well as the GNU GPL)16:23
*** bovinity has joined #cc16:27
Thanatermesisbut the GPL has another problems... for example: you are obliged to share it for free (then how you obtain money?), and any another company can obtain it and sell it "how his work"16:37
bkhl2006-08-29 18:22 <bkhl> That way the company in the story would have to make their changes public too.16:38
bkhlAnyway, that's not a problem that's the purpose of the GPL.16:38
Thanatermesisyes, that is the way to work of gpl.. but i don't want this :)16:40
bkhlSo don't do that then...16:40
bkhlNobody is forcing you.16:41
Thanatermesisthen what i need to use ? a privative license ? freeware ? if is a distro this project, how the users look at it ? very bad16:42
bkhlYeah.16:44
Thanatermesisis not posible...16:44
Thanatermesisit simply die's before to exist lol16:44
bkhlWell, if that's the case it's  not a very viable business model to begin with, is it?16:45
ThanatermesisIMHO no16:45
Thanatermesisbut well, i have worked on it since 2 years and i don't know what made now lol16:46
mlinksvaThanatermesis, you might want to look into how the GPL can be part of a business strategy. Look up MySQL's release under GPL in tandem with commercial licensing.  If you have copyright to the entire project you can do things like that.16:51
paulproteusThanatermesis, Also, the GPL does not require you to give it away for free.16:59
paulproteusIt simply says that anyone you give it to can give it away for any price.16:59
paulproteusYou are certainly allowed to charge for it or limit who you give it to, if you want.17:00
Thanatermesisyes, i know how to works mysql, this is a VERY good thinked strategy stuff... and a special case... btw, this mysql stuff shows again "how GPL is not a way of bussines" lol17:01
bkhlIt really doesn't.17:01
bkhlThe overwhelming majority of their user base is due to the GPL.17:02
Thanatermesisthis is what i think after to look after very time about this things... GPL shows me to is not a licence for bussiness... and a good way to look at it is simply to look "how many enterprises works using the GPL licence"... mysql is a very special case and more exactly just the contrary to the GPL comercial possibilites17:05
bkhlNot really.17:06
bkhlThere's a bunch of businesses like that.17:06
paulproteusTrollTech!17:06
bkhlErlang...17:06
bkhlAnyway, what you seem to be forgetting is that by using the GPL, you are not giving away your copyright to anyone.17:07
mlinksvabut what if scandanavia fell off the face of the earth, then what?17:07
Thanatermesistrolltech... remember me this... a wine stuff ?17:07
bkhlYou are still free to sell it under different licenses.17:07
mlinksvaqt17:07
bkhlmlinksva: we'd do fine without you.17:07
mlinksvaheh :)17:07
paulproteuscutie?17:07
mlinksva(all the examples mentioned so far are scandanavian)17:08
bkhlAll the talk of Qt reminds *bkhl* that he had planned to try Konqueror out again17:11

paulproteusshaggyoaf, See topic. (-:21:11
paulproteusshaggyoaf, You could try using a debugger.21:11
rejonshaggyoaf: use gdb21:11
rejonhttp://www.cs.hmc.edu/qref/c++/gdb.html21:12
shaggyoafhmmm, this isn't the channel for c programming, is it?21:12
shaggyoafsorry about that21:12
shaggyoaf:)21:12

shaggyoafI know about the creative commons license21:16
