Yes, Open Source Licenses DO have a purpose!
http://www.pwnage.ca –
I’ve been reading a lot of articles this weekend. I stumbled upon one called “Do Open Source Licenses Have a Purpose?” which is to be honest a rhetorical question. Ken Hess on Daniweb actually suggests we should throw away our 64 different license CHOICES and just give away our code public domain.

What do all these licenses do for you? That's the 64 license question. Today I'm pondering if the current open source model is still valid or if it's outdated. Do we need licensing for open source software? Do we need the GPL, LGPL, APL and all the other licenses that plague...er, grace us? If your software is free and open source, why bother with a license at all?

http://www.computerworlduk.com –
The fact that it is plainly an absurd patent that should never have been granted, and one, moreover, that (one hopes) would not be granted in the EU, doesn't really change anything: it now exists as a vague threat that Microsoft can invoke whenever it needs to.

Microsoft banned from selling Word
http://blogs.computerworld.com –
This time it's Microsoft's turn to be bashed, but next time it may be an open-source company, or your company. Many big technology companies pay up to patent pirates, and while i4i isn't one of those and Microsoft talks big now, they may well end up paying up. U.S.

Trusting SCO
http://www.linuxjournal.com –
The SCO litigation against — well, let's be honest, against anyone they can think of — has gone on and on and on. As 2007 drew to a close, it seemed the end was in sight, after the company was forced to seek bankruptcy protection to avoid being thrashed in court — which eventually happened anyway. Now it seems the end may really be in sight.
