Speaking of "Raspberry PI", I wonder if someday such computers might
become so small and common that it can be used as currency ;).[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

this time it is Linus instead of the IP world talking out his backside!
I spoke directly to the Raspberry crew a year ago and got the scoop! The Pi is
inexpensive because the chip the cell phone guys get for $20 in millions they,
as a non profit, get for $5!
(I do not remember the exact number, but the point is that their sell price is
lower than their BOM would be if they did not get charity discounts)

Re: The Geeks Who Saved Prince of Persia’s Source Code From
Digital Death
Saved the code, now what about putting it under a GPLv3
license, and putting it up for all to use?
That way, it would not be just on one saved disk, but would
be all over the place, forever preserved.

| A very useful link for those who aren't Groklaw experts ;) Interestingly there
is no mention of Copyright. Given that Google have almost got the patents down
to de minimis and that we all suspect the Judge is unlikely to support
Oracle's tenuous interpretation of Copyright the end might be in sight (barring
umpteen more years of appeal).
