---------------------------------------------------------- *RMS, FSF condemn per-seat licensing* Posted on Friday, May 31 @ 05:39:30 EDT by dep <http://www.linuxandmain.com> *The founder of the Free Software movement is encouraging developers to rebel against the per-seat licensing that the "UnitedLinux" <http://www.linuxandmain.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=81> business software initiative apparently will employ in its new distribution.* *The Free Software Foundation has joined in the objection.* *In response to an inquiry from /Linux and Main/, Richard M. Stallman issued a statement and call to arms to Free Software developers.* "'Licensing per seat' perverts the GNU+Linux system into something that respects your freedom as much as Windows," Stallman said. "They cannot restrict the GPL-covered programs in the system that way, because that would violate the GNU GPL, but the system also contains non-copylefted programs which are points of vulnerability. Free software developers, please don't let them license YOUR program per seat. Use the GNU GPL!" --------------------------------------------------------------- N�o sei se isso � verdade, mas cobrar licen�a por m�quina para mim � o c�mulo do absurdo. Est� parecendo aquela est�ria da galinha dos ovos de ouro: est�o querendo matar a galinha para arrancar o ovo... Por que essas empresas n�o fazer aplicativos comerciais bons que s� rodem no linux e cobrem por isto ? Em vez disso ficam tentando extorquir dinheiro com esses esquemas furados de licen�as. V�o acabar contribuindo para a n�o ado��o do linux, pois pagar por pagar licen�as o pessoal vai ficar mesmo com a M$. A� n�s n�o vamos poder dizer que o custo total de propriedade do linux � menor...
