gpl

I just commited to the Dokeos SVN a little feature to allow for the inclusion of your RSS feed in your profile.

I received an e-mail from someone at the GPL-violations.org group, regarding an inquiry I made about a company that might be infringing GPL with an unproper use of Dokeos. Basically they're telling me I should investigate the case with people that have previous knowledge of GPL violations case in a country where the company is established (for example the US in this case). Well, it's all very interesting, but then I sent the inquiry about a year ago... yup... one year.

When developing GPL applications, we are constantly faced with the problem of having to find usable icons that do not infringe the license... Julio recently posted an article on our Spanish blog to talk about IconFinder, a great website to do just that.

I've had a bunch of hunches recently about companies abusing the licensing terms of Dokeos by officially declaring (but only verbally so far) that their product (being Dokeos, but not officially) is not open-source software. The GPL licensing makes it clear that the software derived from GPL software, or any alteration to a GPL software *must* be open-sourced, at least for the people it is distributed to.

We've been looking for something like this for a week now, and someone just sent me a link (after I asked for something like this on the php-general mailing-list). http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2544.html I just wish they would have sent me that link a few days earlier... (but am happy they didn't do that a few days later).
