Hello all, Did you see this in the latest issue of the "La sélection" P&T Lux newspaper distributed to all households ? "Microsoft condamné à rembourser 1,1 milliard de dollards Le numéro un du logiciel va devoir rembourser la modique somme de 1,1 milliard de dollards à des entreprises et à des particuliers de Californie. reconnu coupable, selon la loi antitrust, d'avoir abusé du monopole de Windows et facturé le système d'exploitation au prix fort, Microsoft est condamné à rembourser aux plaignants l'achat de leurs logiciels Microsoft, soit généralement un peu plus de 100$ chacun, sauf pour les entreprises, pour lesquelles les montants sont bien plus élevés." Anybody interested in starting the same case here based on the european legislation, of course? Guilain

[Fwd: Security Engineering - The Book]

by Serge Marelli

Nice to know: "Security Engineering - The Book", by Ross Anderson is now an on-line book http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/book.html >From the webpage : "My goal in making the book freely available is twofold. First, I want to reach the widest possible audience, especially among poor students. Second, I am a pragmatic libertarian on free culture and free software issues; I think that many publishers (especially of music and software) are too defensive of copyright. I don't expect to lose money by making this book available for free: more people will read it, and those of you who find it useful will hopefully buy a copy. After all, a proper book is half the size and weight of 300-odd sheets of laser-printed paper in a ring binder. (My colleague David MacKay found that putting his book on coding theory online actually helped its sales. Book publishers are getting the message faster than the music or software folks.)" Mr Anderson has also some interesting words on TCPA and more... see : http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/tcpa-faq.html http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/#Lib enjoy Serge

[Fwd: IEEE - Is Digital Copyright Legislation Going Too Far?]

by Serge Marelli

pour info (podcast) -------- Original Message -------- Is Digital Copyright Legislation Going Too Far? Tinkerers and electronic consumers beware. Legislation involving new electronic recording devices and digital, audio, or video playback technology severely compromise electronics industry innovation. According to IEEE Spectrum's Tekla Perry, "The Digital Millennium Copyright Act was the first federal law passed that directly attacks the fair use rights of consumers and product developers. But more such laws are in the pipeline." Tune into IEEE Spectrum Online's exclusive radio report at http://bmsmail3.ieee.org:80/u/3497/40360768 -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it. -Thomas Jefferson, 3rd US president, architect and author (1743-1826) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Serge Marelli, Luxembourg ----------------------------------------------------------------------

lang-pack WinXP lb

Sorry, i actually left out all the links in my snippet : cheers, patrick During the iSummit last weekend in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I had the opportunity to sit down with Dwayne Bailey from the WordForge project (http://translate.sourceforge.net) We discussed the tools used to translate Creative Commons software and he assisted me in installing the server-based tool Pootle (http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle) on our servers. At this time I'm pleased to announce that http://translate.creativecommons.org is live and open for business. I've moved the ccPublisher translations I have available onto the site, and ccHost translations will be available there as well. Some documentation on how we're using Pootle is available in our wiki at http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Translating_CC_Tools. If you have questions about using Pootle, about translation in general or would like to import a translation-in-progress into Pootle, email the cctools-i18n (http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/cctools-i18n) list. -- Nathan R.
