Well, imagine you want to ship a product with Ubuntu Linux installed. How are you ever going to find who owns the copyright every piece of source code included in building the distribution?
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Here's a question for the hivemind - is there any podcast creation software out there that will let me customize the XML it generates? Or an XML editor that will do this for me?
Basically, I need to generate NITF documents to assign metadata to a large number of video files, and I don't want to have to type each one out individually because it will take an assload of time. (We're talking 500+ videos.) And so far all the podcasting software I've looked at generates XML with itunes-specific tags.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I meant to answer this last night. I don't know anything about Ubuntu Linux, but if it's released under GPL, the program itself should have the disclosure one is looking for. Just cut and paste.

Ubuntu is a very popular Linux distribution. It contains tens of thousands of individual programs compiled from hundreds of thousands of source files. Maybe if you download it you can find the copyright information you're looking for. I didn't see any listing of copyright holders in a cursory examination, but if such disclosures must be there, you might find what you need.

That's a pretty clever idea. Although I am assuming I don't have the permissions to download something that big to my work computer. For the bison parsers, which were the two copyrights I couldn't find, I punted and told the developers to find the copyright themselves.
FWIW, apparently "You can find the copyrights and licenses for every package installed on your system by looking in the file /usr/share/doc/package-name/copyright once you've installed a package on your system." Not that I installed any packages, but that's seemingly how Ubuntu discloses.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Interesting/useful articles on how to use DSLR cameras.

I would say a lot of the stuff in these posts is almost essential if you want to take good quality photographs. Maybe most people who own a DSLR camera know this stuff, but just in case....
edit to fix link - thanks, Jon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Suddenly I take back all the non-positive things I may have said about Kindle.
Okay, kidding. Hmm. What's the etymology for Kindle?
Tommy, thanks for those links. I really need to get out and play with my DSLR more. There's stuff I can do with my film camera that I can't with the N70 that I haven't worked out with my D50.

Hey. New board.
Sadly, I think my mom already ordered Kindles for me and my brother. Big, outrageous Christmas presents. And I doubt she used the link. I'll donate extra generously this year, though...
