The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has issued its decision in [the JMRI-v-KAMind] copyright appeal, and it's a ringing victory for JMRI and open-source in general. |
22:09 |

In summary, the Court decided: |
22:09 |
<plocher> |
* The Artistic License does put valid conditions on the use of licensed software. |
22:09 |
<plocher> |
* Those conditions limit the copyright license, and actions outside them are infringement. |
22:09 |
<plocher> |
* An injunction to stop that infringement is a suitable remedy. |

Specifically, the Court wrote: |

It is outside the scope of the Artistic License to modify and distribute the copyrighted materials without copyright notices and a tracking of modifications from the original computer files. If a downloader does not assent to these conditions stated in the COPYING file, he is instructed to "make other arrangements with the Copyright Holder."

23:51 |
<Gman> |
alanc: how would i debug my laptop not being able to output to an external screen? |
23:52 |
<Gman> |
xrandr seems to detect the external screen, but can't seem to output to it, either by the function keys on the laptop, or using xrandr |
23:53 |
<alanc> |
check for messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log |
23:54 |
<alanc> |
not sure what else to check - would have to ask the driver guys |
23:55 |
<Gman> |
seems to pick up the right modelines |
23:57 |
<Gman> |
and all the left/right/inverted foo works ok |
23:58 |
<Gman> |
ahh, got it to work |
23:58 |
<Gman> |
seemingly needed to restart my xserver for some reason |
23:59 |
<Gman> |
but only enough can only mirror, not output entirely |
