It is completely correct. In fact the Linux NET3 code from about 1.1.45 up
|
|
is fractionally more efficient this way as it tests for the packet being
|
|
to the ip address of the device before doing a search of the devices to
|
|
find out if its local.

Read your kernel before switching any jumpers! In linux/drivers/scsi/aha1542.c
|
|
there is a note that only 0x330 and 0x334 are tested (kernel 1.1.33). So try
|
|
0x334. If this is not possible due to another card sitting there, you have
|
|
to change aha1242.c and make a new kernel.

Why would it not be enforceable?

I don't know the specific reasons; perhaps someone else could explain.

It also might only apply in the US, so it's either a question of

public policy or perhaps a first amendment restriction.

In many articles people have said that "many lawyers consider portions
|

of the GPL/LGPL unenforceable', and you counter with "Obviously, the FSF
|
|
lawyers and others have not seen fit to test it's legality out, so it
|
|
must be enforceable, yet in this article you present the claim the same
|
|
accusations on the BSD copyright, which was developed by lawyers of
|
|
Berkeley and the X Consortium. By stating that you don't believe it to
|
|
be enforceable, you are (IMHO) invalidating your defense of the GPL.
|
|
|
|
If that offense/defense of the GPL/BSD copyright is invalid in one case,
|
|
then it must be invalid in all cases if the situation is similar, which
|
|
I believe it is. Both groups hired lawyers to setup the clause, and the
|
|
BSD copyright was 'sort-of' tested in the counter-suit filed by UCB against
|
|
USL in the recent BSDI-USL copyright suit. UCB's suit was that USL did not
|
|
give BSD due credit where the licensing scheme required it.
|
|
|
|
All I ask for is consistancy in your defense and accusations.
|
|
|
|
I'm sorry. It's not the general idea of attaching conditions like
|
|
this to the copyright. It's very specifically the "give credit in all
|
|
advertisement" clause. This one clause is probably unenforceable,
|
|
according to the FSF's (and AT&T's, as it happens) lawyers.
|
|
|
|
If a license said "this software may not be distributed to blacks",
|
|
that would be an unenforceable clause (on the grounds that it is
|
|
contrary to public policy) but not because attaching conditions is
|
|
bad--just because the of the specific condition.
|
|
|
|
I don't know if public policy is the reason the credit requirement is
|
|
believed to be unenforceable; I just bring this up to explain that the
|
|
offense is not the manner in which the thing is done, but the nature
|
|
of the thing that is done.
|
|
|
|
As for UCB's suit, notice that they didn't win: under the consent
|
|
decree AT&T voluntarily agreed to give credit, but there was no hint
|
|
of a finding that they had to.

Who can point me to the maintainer of the lpd package.

I am having problems in adding the ctsrts flag in the printcap file.
|
|
As the bit of that option is on the MSB of a int ( and long in 32 bits system )
|

I suspect that the printcap value is stored in a signed int causing it to fail

You are correct to distinguish "copyright" and "license." But rather
|
|
than use your definitions, I would prefer to say that a
|
|
copyright is a form of protection applicable to certain types of subject
|
|
matter that provides the owner of the copyright of a protected work with
|
|
certain exclusive rights with respect to that work, subject to certain
|
|
limitions. And a license (in the sense applicable here) is a grant of
|
|
authority from the copyright owner concerning the protected work
|
|
and authorizing someone else to do something with the protected work that
|
|
would otherwise be exclusively the right of the copyright owner to do.

Chris, be sure to post your findings. I have exactly the same problem
|
|
using two old Tricomp cards. The Crynwr-driver (3C503.com) has been
|
|
installed on about all thinkable interrupts, but when I ping
|
|
the other machine (using Waterloo stuff) it gives excactly the same
|
|
message.
|
|
Both machines work fine when DOS<->DOS or Unix<->Unix.
|
|
|
|
And yes, I too did R the FM's. I even tried to F the RM's.
|
|
|
|
Paai.

. b) set your CMOS clock to the correct UTC (~= GMT).
|

|
|
Does anybody have the complete scoop on how to do this under Linux?
|
|
I've tried to follow what I thought were directions to do this, but
|
|
have failed several times. Also, it's a pain to do (I have to kill
|
|
cron so the system is usable after I fix the time).
|

Thanks,

Subject: mosaic for term and termtelnet-need help...
|
|
Date: Mon, 19 Sep 1994 04:21:26 GMT
|
|
|
|
O.K. I've got Mosaic for term cooking right along. I also have termtelnet
|
|
(the reason I got termtelnet is because whenever I would click on
|
|
a telnet icon in mosaic, it would bring up a window that said couldn't
|
|
find termtelnet.) and I can telnet perfectly well from an xterm on my
|
|
local computer, through the term link to the remote computer and out.
|
|
My question is, how do I get Mosaic to call termtelnet when I click
|
|
on a telnet icon? When I do this, I get the outline of an xterm window
|
|
(I guess... It goes away before it materializes all the way) but the
|
|
window never materializes all the way. I put the following in my .Xdefaults
|
|
file: xtermCommand /usr/local/bin/termtelnet because the Mosaic help for
|
|
XMosaic suggested it. What am I doing wrong here?

A friend of mine and I wrote a book on Linux (to appear soon). We felt
|
|
about the same as you. Therefore we donate a dollar of every copy
|
|
sold to the free software foundation as Linus Thorwaldsen (however
|
|
important in the scheme of (linux)things) is only one of the many
|
|
people who do so much effort in writing good software and give it
|
|
away.
|
|
|
|
As for the Great Linus himself: we have to decide yet what to do and how,
|
|
but I think dutch or belgian beer will be involved somewhere.
|
|
|
|
Paai.
