wgrantpwnguin: It's not too crazy. Just adding another two limitations on top of the GPL.00:10
wgrant(which GPL? we'll never know)00:10
wgrantMultiverse or loony-bin material at any rate.00:11
azzcoIsn't it Gnu general public license and not Gnu public license?00:29
=== elkbuntu is now known as elky
=== elky is now known as elkbuntu
wgrantazzco: Neither. It's the GNU General Public License.00:52
azzcoSorry bout that wgrant, I usually spell it like that though..00:53
Ngwgrant: loony-bin, it's invalid, GPL says no additional restrictions00:57
Ngimho, ianal, etc00:57
emgentgeta wgrant Ng00:58
wgrantNg: Doesn't the GPL just say that derivatives of the licensed body cannot have additional restrictions?01:00
Ngwgrant: I'm looking at section 10, paragraph 3 of the GPL01:01
wgrantI've not come across such a strange case as this before, so don't remember the wording of that bit.01:01
wgrantHmm.01:02
wgrantI think the licensor is permitted to do it, but it might not be redistributable.01:02
wgrantThat seems odd, though.01:03
Ngif it's not redistributable then it's not free software aiui :)01:04
wgrantRight, it would belong in multiverse if anywhere.01:04
wgrantLoony-bin it is, I think.01:05
emgentNg: do you have an access to manage ubuntu.com mail alias?01:21
=== RAOF_ is now known as RAOF
pwnguintechnically, i think you can redistribute it to other people under the gpl02:15
pwnguinit'd take a lawyer to figure out whether the non commercial clause came along with it02:15
pwnguinit's so batshit insane that I'm going to write him02:16

* cody-somerville is at last home from Prague.04:48
johanbrNice. Long flight?04:48
cody-somerville17 hours04:50
johanbrPretty long, but still in the tolerable range.04:55
jdongthat's what *cough* *resist.....*04:56
wasssupsjust ah .... with ubuntu hardy did you lock down the amount of threads / forks a user can do--- my crashme testing suggest this to be the case..05:35
jdongwasssups: no, that's up to the individual system administrator to set05:40
jdongmaswan: there's really no global values that suit everyone's workloads.... limits.conf makes it easy for an admin to make such decisions locally05:41
wasssupsthat is my default apparently ...05:42
jdongwasssups: the default does not.05:42
jdongwasssups: you can definitely forkbomb the default to death.05:42
jdongunless the CFS scheduler in the non-patched kernel sucked *THAT* much (grin)05:42
wasssupswell it seems to fork out05:43
jdongok I just DoS'ed a hardy VM to make sure.... it definitely forks enough that sshd no longer talks to me05:44
jdongjust a simple bash forkbomb too05:44
wasssupsjdong: yeah but you can still run stuff05:47
wasssupscrashme hits a limit way below what it should05:47
wasssupsi will try again05:47
=== asac_ is now known as asac
=== elkbuntu is now known as elky
lifelessthe gnash mozilla plugin doesn't register itself for mozilla 310:39
lifelessasac: ^10:39
cyberixAbout the development process. A certain bug for a package in main component has been confirmed to exist on various platforms and a fix has been released to the bug thread. What should happen next? Who is responsible for releasing an update for a package?10:40
lifelessasac: seems to be trivially fixed by adding firefox-addons into the list of things to add alternatives for10:40
persiacyberix: If the fix is not yet in the form of a candidate update, anyone is welcome to continue the process to make it so.  If the fix is in the form of a candidate update, it falls to ubuntu-main-sponsors to review the candidate and upload (for most bugs) or ubuntu-sru to review and approve (for bugs in previously releases)10:43
cyberixThere are actually two fixes. A patch and an updated package from Debian.10:43
cyberixWhich one should be preferred?10:44
persiacyberix: Depends entirely on the content of each.  There is no rule about the source.  Use of the Debian patch is often easier in terms of later maintenance, so it is preferred if it is also correct for Ubuntu.10:44
cyberixpersia: May I quote this discussion directly in a follow-up comment?10:46
persiacyberix: If you really, really want to.  Which bug?10:47

persiacyberix: No point adding to that conversation.  slytherin seems on top of it.  It likely ran against a freeze block, and will be modified to work for intrepid soon.10:58
persiacyberix: Given the mixed responses in the thread, I'm really not sure it would be best for all users to apply as an SRU, but that's something that could be tested once it is fixed in intrepid.10:59
