Episode 0x07: Revoked?

Bradley and Karen
discuss a few corrections from previous shows, and then discuss
misunderstandings about the GPL regarding “revocation” of
the GPL.

Show Notes:

Segment 0 (00:34)

Bradley issued a correction regarding FaiF 0x06. Christopher Allan Webber mentioned that
FSF sometimes accepts copyright assignments in cases where the entire code
base is not assigned. (02:40)

Karen issued a correction regarding FaiF 0x04 about women
being hired to be at the party, but in fact that was not the case, despite
being mentioned in this
article.

Karen's paper on Medical Devices was linked to from a ZD
Net UK blog. (05:48)

Bradley mentioned this Android
bug regarding mis-sent SMS, which was widely
covered
in

Apparently the bug has been resolved upstream, somewhat disproving
Bradley's point. (08:40)

rationale
documents.
