For anyone who didn't notice, GPLv3 dd3 is out: http://gplv3.fsf.org/gpl3-dd3-guide
hi Ciaran, i have read it quickly... i got a problem...
today i was discussing with an other professionist i'm working with, we do not want make big money, but just find a way to live working on freesoftware based solutions
we are not redhat, we are not ubuntu, we are not in the united states where you can ask big money for embedded linux solutions or custom enterprise installations
we where thinking of... ok... let's develop that... no, a competitor can copy it, it has more commercial power than you and you lost months of work...
ok, let's do services... no, you cannot ask so much money for each day of work ... so making services is not "scalable"
so?
freesoftware makes sense only if i make the hardware and i give the software for free?
how can i maintain myself? how can i make a company on freesoftware without violating GPL
i do not want to force you to change GPL, but think that there are people out here that are not university students or professors that get payed anyway at the end of the month...
if i develop a livecd, should i give away my toolchain? packages source code is not enough?
gpl3 is going to enforce this problem?
