GPL 3.0 - no democracy - [WWW] http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1881088,00.asp
- Richard announces the GPL 3 process will in fact be democratic and there will be a vote.
- Eric suggests they use "OSI approved" voting machines
- Diebold
- scara: heh, sounds like haiti, maybe microsoft should back an OSI coup d'etat and get the CIA to bundle stallman in a plane and exile him to south africa.
- the osi approved voting machine software should be closed source
- and stores the votes in an openoffice2 database
- the xml is so complicated no one could verify the votes

Diebold graciously donated them. bruce: erm, do you think we can trust diebold? richard: I have to admit they've been behaving rather erratically richard: some of the voting questions do seem a bit mixed up bruce: let me give it a go (full pane screen shots of voting questions and "sponsorship" logos) Drop GPL and move to BSD license, big business needs the help.
