[CLUE-Tech] GPL loopholes

[Art Reisman]

We just released a compact distro, (based off Linux
BBC) and all our GPL code is on the site :), one big
tar ball. 

I'll be covering some of the in's and out's of open
source projects, towing the line with GPL etc. Lynn
will be releasing the details of the August talk
shortly :)



Let me know if there are any specific things people
would like to know. I can slant the talk in many
different directions. I will likely never call my
project a "success" , its more of a journey with many
turns.


www.bandwidtharbitrator.com might be place to start
for ideas ?
