"At the close of SCALE 8x I caught a presentation by my colleague Richard Fontana, who was talking on Improving the Open Source Legal System.  Richard’s proposal is to consider FLOSS licensing and legal landscape as its own international legal system.  This is instead of how we do it now, which is to try mapping license terms to local law, or ignoring the problems that arise from that."

Katzer. Interestingly, the case was recently resolved with a settlement in favor of Jacobsen (the OSS author)."

[[DanielWalsh|Daniel Walsh]] explained<ref>http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/35420.html</ref> why there is an <tt>audit2allow</tt> but not <tt>audit2dontaudit</tt> tool: There should be. And now there is. "In Fedora 12 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6,  I  added a new flag to audit2allow, -D or --dontaudit.  This option tells audit2allow to generate dontaudit rules rather then allow rules."
The release of Fedora 16 has been the main topic of the blogroll recently, and it's fair to say that it's being greeted with open arms by many of the users.
