[Discussioni]Debian weekly news

[Francesco Potorti`]

Due notizie.  La prima l'ho letta e ne consiglio la lettura, molto
interessante e ben scritta.

La seconda non l'ho capita, qualcuno me la spiega?



Debian Free Software Guidelines FAQ. Barak Pearlmutter [8]composed a
draft Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG) [9]FAQ. It is meant as
an introduction to issues discussed on the [10]debian-legal mailing
list, with some general background material to help bring new readers
up to date. Suggestions and comments are welcome.

LGPL affecting Client Java Code? [11]According to this [12]article,
Dave Turner of the FSF has decreed that the steps required to use an
LGPL'd Java library will actually infect client code with substantial
GNU-ness via Section 6 of the LGPL. (The "Lesser" GPL is supposed to
protect only the Library, without infecting code using the library)
This, as you might imagine, puts a few LGPL Java projects that
previously thought they were embeddable without being viral in a bit
of a bind. [13]Various [14]weblogs have [15]further [16]coverage.
