Subject: How to make Microsoft respect European Authorities - FSFE recommends
Date: 3 Apr 2005 09:40:08 GMT
========== Forwarded message ==========
The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) and the Samba Team have
presented terms explaining how Microsoft could be brought into
compliance with the decision of the European Court of First Instance
of December 2004.
"In order to write interoperable software, developers use so-called
Interface Definition Language Files (IDL). These are currently held
secret by Microsoft, so no one else can write interoperable software.
In order to comply with its obligations, Microsoft should have to make
these available, along with a description of the encryption methods
they have employed, under a license enabling them to be implemented in
Free Software. This is the only way to make sure the Samba Team is
given a real chance to compete and interoperate with Microsoft," Georg
Greve, president of FSFE explains. He continues: "Given past
experiences, we also recommend to the Commission that it set a strict
delivery date for these specifications."
Last December, the European Court decided that Microsoft should not be
granted more time to expand its monopoly by withholding
interoperability information from competitors, requesting that the
antitrust decision of the European Commission be put into immediate
effect.
"Microsoft can no longer hide behind bland statements such as 'we will
comply', FSFE attorney Carlo Piana pointed out. "Now it is time to see
how committed they are to compliance. Our proposal is very balanced
and does not request more than the Samba Team could achieve by
'network analysis', but it forces the disclosure of the protocols in a
timely manner. We have asked the Commission to submit our proposal to
a reliable independent expert".
In the recent proposal from the FSFE [1], Samba developer Jeremy Allison
pointed out that : "IDL definitions are purely a way to describe an
interface - they describe a protocol." In order to develop
interoperable products is it necessary to have access to these
specifications. "It is similar to needing to know the grammar and
spelling rules in order to write in a language", Allison concludes.
Regarding encryption, Allison says: "Encryption of network traffic is
a well established practice and is not a Microsoft innovation. But to
successfully interoperate it is necessary to know what kind of
encryption is used, under what circumstances, and with what kind of
keys."
Regarding any compensation Microsoft feels it is entitled to, Carlo
Piana said: "The information we request is not secret because it is
valuable, it is valuable because it is secret. Additionally, we are
convinced that Microsoft has been over-compensated many times by its
monopoly position. Their extraordinary large operating profit
demonstrates that. Such profits have been made possible because of the
effects of and technological lock-ins and tying together of clients
and servers."
The only reasonable compensation that would not entirely defeat the
purpose of the European Commission decision would be a one-off fee for
obtaining a copy of the protocol documentation. A reasonable benchmark
for this fee might be the cost developers pay to get access to the
Microsoft Developers Network (MSDN), which contains much similar
information.
As with the MSDN terms and conditions, it would not be unreasonable to
also charge developers for updated and revised versions of the
protocol documents. However, these would have to be supplied in a
complete and timely fashion, the FSFE and the Samba Team emphasized.
"The Free Software world has once again shown how it is capable of
providing high-quality work even under adverse circumstances," Georg
Greve summarizes. "With the input of FSFE and the Samba Team to the
European Commission, they now hold in their hands what is needed to
make their decision have consequences. Taking into account how
Microsoft struggled to 'comply' with the decision, however, we
recommend that they constantly monitor Microsoft's behaviour."
Background: The FSFE has been involved as third party in the
original investigation and also the European Court case. It was
originally admitted to the court to defend the interests of the
Samba Team and is now permitted to bring up any aspect relevant to
Free Software. The Samba Team and FSFE worked as one team during the
entire proceedings and Samba representative Jeremy Allison spoke on
behalf of FSFE at the European Court.

Subject: GNU M4 1.4.3, the GNU macro processor
Date: 3 Apr 2005 09:55:01 GMT
>From gary@gnu.org Sun Apr 3 00:12:42 2005
I am pleased to announce the release of GNU M4 1.4.3, the GNU macro processor.
This release fixes a number of long-standing bugs and, thanks to a patch from
Andreas Schwab, gives a speedup of around 20% when used with autoconf compared
to the previous release:
New in 1.4.3: 31 March 2005
* DESTDIR installs now work correctly.
* Don't segfault with uncompilable regexps to changeword().
* Always use \n line-endings for frozen files (fixes a cygwin bug).
* Portability fix for systems lacking mkstemp(3).
* Approximately 20% speed up in the common case of usage with autoconf.
* Supported on QNX 6.3.
m4-1.4.3 is available now from ftp.gnu.org, along with diffs and xdeltas
against m4-1.4.2. Please use a mirror to reduce stress on the main gnu machine:
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
Here are the compressed sources:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.3.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.3.tar.bz2
Here are the xdeltas and diffs against m4-1.4.2:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.2-1.4.3.diff.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.2-1.4.3.xdelta
Here are the gpg detached signatures:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.3.tar.gz.sig
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.3.tar.bz2.sig
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.2-1.4.3.diff.gz.sig
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.2-1.4.3.xdelta.sig
You should download the signature named after any tarball or diff you download
and then verify its integrity with, for example:
gpg --verifp m4-1.4.3.tar.gz.sig
Here are the MD5 and SHA1 checksums:
f46904538815b0a65ad67ca819a1b3f2 m4-1.4.2-1.4.3.diff.gz
073048d747f2dbb3298e713059dd9ab3 m4-1.4.3.tar.gz
1f7d7eba70a0525c44c2edc3998925c7 m4-1.4.3.tar.bz2
c0f5128bfab0b901b1093f9c51130dd7 m4-1.4.2-1.4.3.xdelta
831762b2804a892d8e455ba2cfc083be7ff5b862 m4-1.4.2-1.4.3.diff.gz
bda692e58849bd53f37371bb59d87dd76b205b8b m4-1.4.3.tar.gz
51a4d360e5c22b7c0a849759079905b5a1fdcaa4 m4-1.4.3.tar.bz2
d71b6b3a6a4e6980cb0d31a6eaa9d225f02ec802 m4-1.4.2-1.4.3.xdelta
This release was bootstrapped with autoconf-2.59, but is usable with any
previous versions of autoconf for your own projects.
Alternatively you can fetch the sources form anonymous cvs by using the
following commands (just hit return when you are prompted for the password):
$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
$ cvs -z3 -d :ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/m4 \
co -r release-1_4_3 -d m4-1.4.3 m4
Please report any bugs to <bug-m4@gnu.org>.
Enjoy!
Gary.

Build-Dependency against libtool 1.4. Andrew Pollock [17]noticed that
five packages still declare a build-dependency against [18]libtool 1.4
which is orphaned and will be [19]removed. Frank Lichtenheld
[20]proposed to open bug reports against packages that use libtool 1.4
files to upgrade to version 1.5 which was [21]considered a good idea.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh also [22]suggested to force the use of
newer [23]libtool, [24]autoconf and [25]gettext utilities.

[28]linda, removing obsolete packages from the archive, cleaning up
[29]WNPP pages, fixing bugs in QA group maintained packages and of
other subjects within the scope of the QA group.

Finishing a foreign ITP. Shachar Shemesh [30]noticed that an
[31]Intent to package (ITP) for [32]Open Xchange hasn't seen any
progress and wondered what to do in case he had packaged the software
on his own. Matthew Palmer [33]suggested to add a note to the bug
report and offer help before actually uploading the package.

Spelling Correction for Package Descriptions. Florian Zumbiehl
[34]noticed another common mistake that developers make in package
descriptions. He added a list of words, which are mostly acronyms,
where "a" and "an" are often used wrongly. Joey Hess [35]pointed out
that some acronyms such as FAQ are ambiguous, since they can be
pronounced differently.

PHP and derived Works. The PHP licenses have been [36]investigated
with regards to distributing derived works. Francesco Poli [37]pointed
out that [38]PHP 3 is dual-licensed with the [39]GNU GPL. The
[40]license for PHP 4 contains a paragraph that prohibits derived work
to be called PHP or contain the word PHP in the name. Andi Gutmans
[41]explained that minor changes and security fixes are no problem and
that [42]Apache is licensed the same way.

CD/DVD Images Release Progress. Steve McIntyre sent in a [43]summary
of the release progress from the CD team. Since the disk space has
been increased on [44]cdimage.debian.org it can host full images for
woody and sarge for a period after the release. Due to the sheer
amount of sarge more than one binary DVD image will be produced per
architecture. The list of prospective images and files contain
Torrents and Jigdo files, of course.

Low Voter Turnout. In the second [45]call for votes on the current
project leader [46]election Manoj Srivastava reported that we have the
lowest participation ever in a project leader election since tracking
voting rates. In an [47]interview he assumed that several developers
are disillusioned after the [48]changes of the [49]social contract,
the problems with AMD64 and the [50]Vancouver prospectus.

Marcus Brinkmann on Hurd/L4. In an [51]interview Marcus Brinkmann
explained the Hurd and that the Mach microkernel was discarded as
basis because of poor virtual memory management. Instead, the new goal
was to port the Hurd to the L4 microkernel which has reached the step
of being able to [52]execute programs recently. The interview gives a
lot of insight into different areas as well.
