I actually now think that Miles's best work was his early stuff, before _Kind of Blue_, but that has to do with changes in my general preferences around jazz.

Indeed, I would say Barry Harris's music is characterized by a complete rejection of the George Russell legacy. Barry Harris's music is sort of like what jazz would have been like if _Kind of Blue_ had never happened.

The lawsuit does not ask for source code solely for the kernel, but also for several userspace components under GPLv2 and LGPLv2.1 (at least some of which are at least in large part under "or-later" licensing). They don't rec

I find it slightly amusing that composer Gustav Holst, mainly known for his suite _The Planets_, encouraged her to study music, but she ultimately pursued astronomy instead.

The LGPLv3 exception had an atypical feature (for *GPL exceptions) and was possibly misdrafted, see: https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/issues/1672

That resemblance is coincidental: hudor derives from Proto-Indo-European *wed- (as does English water, wet, winter) while dwr derives from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewb- "deep" (as does English dip, deep) https://en.wikti

My childhood phone number in Brooklyn was a BU (28) number, though even when I was a child (1970s) the use of letter exchanges was basically a holdover of a more or less dead practice. (But the use of letter exchanges in phone numbers persi

Since Red Hat is at the earliest stages of grappling with this issue and I can't speak for the teams involved I don't think there's anything I can say, other than that our corporate policies on product licensing by default do

Disclosure: I'm on the CNCF legal committee, which mainly makes recommendations to the CNCF board on things like exceptions to CNCF's fairly strict licensing policy. This is correct, but I believe MPL has never been approved as a

I understand why it's tempting to buy into this narrative but it is just not the case. Aside from the fact that IBM had no involvement in the recent decision relating to git.centos.org (if I remember correctly, IBM found out about it w

It's explicitly valid for any third party. I would assume that a customer could use it even where (as should normally be the case) the customer would have source code access under 3a. There are a lot of drawbacks to use of the written

Recent versions of RHEL actually include a GPLv2-oriented written offer for source, but this is in addition to Red Hat simultaneously making corresponding source available along with binaries (for all packages regardless of license).

Only one historical exception: Cygwin, basically inertia from the Cygnus acquisition. Maybe more significantly, Red Hat has only made limited use of CLAs in the past and hasn't used any CLAs for many years now. It's basically corp
