Here's something you'll enjoy, a webcast of Duke Law School's Intellectual Property and Cyberlaw Society's seminar, "Software: Patents v. Open Source," held on April 1. (Click on 2005 Symposium, on the left.) Here's the list of some of the talks:
1. Robert Bray, Principal Administrator, Secretariat of the Committee for Legal
Affairs and the Internal Market, EU Parliament, gave a speech you don't want to miss,
"The EU 'Software Patent' Directive: What is it? Why is it? Where are we now?" He mentions the effect of the FOSS community on that whole process.
2. Red Hat's Mark Webbink, Deputy General Counsel and Secretary, also speaks and says that Red Hat's corporate policy is that allowing software patents was a mistake. His speech is entitled
"A New Paradigm for Intellectual Property Rights in Software" and you'll enjoy his list of all the reasons why software should be treated differently. It's in the panel discussion.
3. Daniel Egger of Open Source Risk Management, "Extrajudicial Dispute-Resolution and the GNU General Public License: An Emerging Customary Law of "Work Based on the Program."
4. Timothy O'Sullivan - Partner, Myers Bigel Sibley & Sajovec, P.A.
"Patents as a Tool to Spur Innovation: The Benefits of Patent Protection over Open Source." I guess you can guess his point of view. There is a lot more, including the fascinating panel discussion. I note there is a talk on Grokster and the Future of Secondary Copyright Liability, and I am learning a lot, even from those I don't agree with. Enjoy. That reminds me. There's a Linux conference in Canada, Network World, Conference and Expo, today through Wednesday in Toronto, and if any of you are there, I'd love to have you let us know the highlights. Both Novell's David Patrick and IBM's Scott Handy will present keynotes, I'm told, which I believe are scheduled for tomorrow and Wednesday, in that order. More details here. And is there anyone here who can't find something on this list to interest them?

Hmmm anyone else notice the license the webcast and presentations used.
Nice touch. I know it doesn't seem to say much as we are all use to seeing it
now, but it is a sign that things are moving in the right direction.

Back in February PJ wrote So, *Now* How Do You Feel About Software
Patents?
Well now it has happened. Chicago based Trading
Technologies have sued Man
Group
Trading Technologies have been granted a UK patent; this is
a software patent, that should not have been granted.
So future
traders both in the USA, and in Europe may have to pay a Chicago tax of
2.5%

That is about the most accurate way I can describe what he did in that article.
It is amusing that people like him deliberately and repeatedly, insult &
offend the reading IT community with outrageous remarks.
Rob isn't an imbecile even if he sometimes writes like one. He surely knows
that his remarks are going to annoy and anger people who make theri real-world
living working with 'Linux' environments and who passionately support FOSS
concepts.
What some journalists forget (usually the old hacks who have passed their 'use
by' dates such as the MOGs & Enderles) is that there is always a new young
enthusiatic IT generation coming along, many of who see with the utmost clarity,
the falsity in writings about technology issues that are motivated by checkbooks
versus genuine informative / innovative insights.
Interestingly, if we compare the recent articles that PJ has written with the
recent batch of material from MOG & Enderle & DiDio it is not at all
hard to see the contrast between the two types of writing.

Did anyone else read the title as a contest between whatever patents Duke Law
School may hold and the open source seminar community?
Ah, the wonders of grammatical inexactness...

play the whole
page
This is a WebJay system that translates HTML to a RealPlayer
(actually a W3C standard SMIL file) but you can change the format if you look at
the documentation. [ Reply to This | # ]

Is there an alternative to realplayer on 64 bit linux that doesn't involve
getting the player from real networks?[ Reply to This | # ]

Very nice article, PJ!
Congratulations, you have, again, put the bar up several more notches.
Is it too early to get my name on your dance card for Red Dress Day?

Great!
Webcadts are nice, but in real format??!
Doing opensource webcasts in real format kind of sends the wrong signals... :o/[ Reply to This | # ]
