• Defeating GPL<br /><p>I just thought of
    Defeating GPLI just thought of a way to release a proprietary software using a GPLed code.Assumption: GPL says you can not put more restrictions to the user than GPL already imposes...But says nothing about giving users more rights than GPLHere is how to do it1. Devise a license saying giving all rights granted under the GPL _and_ a right to give up the previous rights :DDD2. Make a customer give up his right first.3. Then distribute the software to him is binary only form.4. Profit........

  • Following two religions...... KDE Vs. Gnome,
    OK i am back to KDE.... more because i need to get acquainted with qt. With my prime development platform being QT based, i need to get to know the inner as well as working feel of QT hands on.But now, my mind is again split between the two desktops.
