Show Notes
Segment 0 (00:35)
●Bradley and Karen discussed the inclusion of ZFS code now included in GRUB, as the GRUB Project announced and
was covered at LWN by
Jonathan Corbet.
●It's not mandatory that GNU projects have assignment to the FSF.
The
GNU Maintainer's guide discuss the requirements when items are assigned
to FSF. (14:40)
●FSF requires that the entire codebase be assigned once GNU project
maintainers choose to assign copyrights. Conservancy's policy on
copyright assignment differs here; Conservancy will accept partial
copyright assignment. (16:07)
●Bradley mentioned the COBOL front end to GCC
that is not in the main GCC codebase because it is not copyright
assigned to FSF. (17:40)
●Bradley and Karen discussed the Squeak
relicensing last call. (25:49)
●Bradley posted a comment
to Corbet's article. (32:30)
Final (45:45)
●The calendar Bradley was thinking of was the International
Fixed Calendar, which Wikipedia confirms, with a sourced link, was
used by the Eastman Kodak Company from 1928 to 1989.
