The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has dismissed claims by Microsoft that it is exempt from provisions of GPLv3 and has vowed to make sure the Redmond giant "respects our copyrights and complies with our licences".
Sixteen years after releasing GPL2, Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation launched GPL3 over the weekend.
Schwartz sees a beautiful future together for Linux and Sun's own Solaris -- and he wants Linus to bring the wine
Linux leader Linus Torvalds has finally found something that could convince him that the forthcoming version 3 of the General Public License is worth adopting: open-source Solaris.
The Free Software Foundation released the final draft of an updated General Public License late last week, a draft that prohibits future deals similar to the Microsoft-Novell patent pact but lets that one go ahead.
After a year on the job, Sun's CEO says the company is relevant again but still has problems to fix. In this interview, he admits losing sight of the developer community towards the end of the 1990s, and making what he described as a very bad decision about the company's commitment to Solaris.
Alan Cox, one of the most respected figures in the open-source community, talks about GPL 3, software patents, the kernel development process and Linux on the desktop.
In this 3.5 minute video, Linus Torvalds talks about why digital rights management and the General Public License cause a lot of "hot air" to be exchanged but do not amount to a "big deal".
