06:26.03freemangordonDocScrutinizer06: A work created by observing how the original functions, and then
06:26.05freemangordonindependently writing code that performs the same function, is not a
06:26.07freemangordon"derivative work" in the sense defined in copyright law
06:26.22freemangordonaccording to internet :)

06:54.24DocScrutinizer06exactly
06:55.04freemangordonwell, I don't get the problem then, really
06:55.15DocScrutinizer06that's a proper reverse engineering, from observing how stuff *works* and creating your own code to do the same
06:55.25freemangordonyep
06:56.18freemangordonand there is no definition/restriction afaik on what tools one should use to do the observations
06:56.26DocScrutinizer06while decompiling is not looking how stuff *works*, but how it's *built*
06:56.47freemangordonyeah, right, don't tell me gdb is the only way
06:57.17DocScrutinizer06particularly if you're using parts of the decompiler output and copy it to your own source - but you already said you didn't do that
06:58.06freemangordonDocScrutinizer06: I used some parts, javispedro pointed to one of them
06:58.15freemangordonthus my question about "unkN"
06:58.21DocScrutinizer06hmm, then that's his concerns
06:58.58freemangordonand that is why I asked about variable names starting with v, no matter that you took it offensive
06:59.09freemangordonit was not meant to be
06:59.55DocScrutinizer06even partial copy of any representation of original code is an act of (C)-violation and counterfeit code
07:01.26freemangordonwell, could be, but I still cannot grok what needs to be done. I mean - is variables name change enough?
07:01.47freemangordonhave in mind those names are not part of the binary
07:02.03freemangordonthere is no debug info or whatever
07:04.22DocScrutinizer06sure, the problem is that it suggests that you copied the code as seen by disassembler, rather than writing your own code
07:04.36freemangordonDocScrutinizer06: http://pastebin.com/NSgzvu6v
07:04.45freemangordonhere is how hexrays outpu looks like
07:04.59freemangordoncompare that to what I published
07:05.28*** join/#maemo-ssu jon_y (~enforcer@pbz-162-192.tm.net.my)
07:05.36DocScrutinizer06honestly, I can't help here, other than tellung you I thought you copied code from doisassembler when I looked at that URL javispedro posted here
07:06.11DocScrutinizer06and I got no time to discuss this now, and also I'm no expert
07:07.00DocScrutinizer06please use wikipedia and/or other publicly available source of info about (C) and RE and GPL implications

11:00.27ivgalvezYou can use any binary blob copyrighted by Nokia in Open Source projects for Nokia devices, as long as you include the proper copyright notice.The same applies for derivative work such as RE. Do not relicense it as (L)GPL but put a notice saying saomething like "This is a derivative work from copyrighted material by Nokia. It's only intended for educational purposes on Free Open Source
11:00.27ivgalvezprojects and can only be used in Nokia devices"
11:01.23ivgalvezQgil was clear at that respect, there is no problem in using Nokia stuff (but not from 3rd parties) with that limitations

13:40.50ivgalveznot really
13:41.05ivgalvezbut you could use the paragraph I wrote
13:41.24ivgalvezthe question is that you cannot change original Nokia license or copyright notice
13:41.32ivgalvezwhatever they were
13:41.49freemangordonok
13:41.56ivgalvezbut you can add a simple fair use notice with that sentence

17:49.10merlin1991freemangordon: pong
17:49.55freemangordonmerlin1991: I know you are on holiday and with bad internet, but is there any chance to create a repo for glibc on gitorious?
17:50.36merlin1991why do we need one?
17:50.48merlin1991afaik we don't change stuff on glibc, or is this thumb related?
17:50.52freemangordonhmm, ppoll/pselect?
17:51.24freemangordonwell, the package is named 2.5.1-1eglibc27+0m5
17:51.40merlin1991it's a recompile of old sources
17:51.40merlin1991no change whatsoever
17:52.34freemangordonmerlin, patches for pselect (and co) should be applied to both kernel and libc
17:52.49freemangordonwe have the kernel in CSSU, but not libc
17:53.15*** join/#maemo-ssu M13 (~M13@170.133-224-87.telenet.ru)
17:54.18merlin1991freemangordon: my understanding was that we only have to recompile glibc from source and it will pick up the pselect support in the kernel headers?
17:55.19freemangordonhmm, could be, but don't we want the history? at least changelog and such
17:55.28freemangordondebian/control, etc
17:56.20merlin1991well I'm atm fighting vs my bad internet
17:56.25merlin1991might get a gitorious repo in a few mins :D
17:56.32freemangordon:D ok
17:56.35merlin1991need to reload pages all the time because of timeouts :/
17:57.00merlin1991freemangordon: what would the repo title be?
17:57.09freemangordonglibc?
17:58.14freemangordonaccording to debian/control the source package is glibc
17:59.19freemangordonmerlin1991: BTW did you see the discussion on VKB license and such?
17:59.32merlin1991nope I didn't have the time to read the backlog
17:59.36freemangordonok
17:59.43merlin1991freemangordon:  https://gitorious.org/community-ssu/glibc
18:00.08freemangordonthe fuck, source package contains .svn directory
18:00.20merlin1991lulz
18:00.34merlin1991somebody didn't invoke dpkg-buildpackage properly :)
18:01.00merlin1991but that hints, that there should be svn source avaiable somewhere on maemo.org
18:01.14freemangordonyes, I am trying to find it
18:02.04freemangordonjuri.research.nokia.com
18:02.07freemangordonWT?
18:02.10freemangordonF
18:03.29freemangordonsvn+ssh://juri.research.nokia.com/maemo-sdk/svn/tools/glibc/glibc-2.5.1
18:03.49kerioooh, is that the nokia repo with the updated flash player?
18:04.06merlin1991kerio: that's glibc nothing flashy whatsoever :D
18:04.12kerioi meant the whole repo
18:04.17merlin1991nah
18:04.52freemangordonwell, cannot find anything, lemme try to svn browse it
18:05.07merlin1991host not found for the dns here
18:05.23keriomerlin1991: and where would *that* repo be?
18:05.32merlin1991hidden places ;)
18:09.35keriohow hidden, exactly? (;
18:09.37keriosharing is caring!
18:09.52merlin1991actually I don't have the url here
18:10.13kerioalso, does that flash player work properly?
18:10.42merlin1991never tried it
18:12.03keriohm, would that be cssu material?
18:26.02freemangordonmerlin1991: could you rename kernel-cssu to kernel?
18:26.23freemangordonjust for the sake of consistency
18:36.15freemangordonmerlin1991: any objections against "Backport c99/gnu89 inline support patch from glibc-2.6 to support new gcc."
18:36.55freemangordonwell, I will push it, it can be easily disabled through series
18:37.03freemangordon(if needed)
18:40.44keriofreemangordon: "kernel" should be the omap1 kernel with bugfixes, though
18:41.04freemangordonkerio: feel free to do it
18:41.11keriono u
18:41.31MrPingukerio: same idea I had about "cssu" kernel
18:41.52freemangordonI am going to do what was agreed with the CSSU maintainer
18:41.53keriosrsly though, kernel-power as "kernel" is probably not a good idea
18:42.05MrPinguhowever I don't mind having a kernel with more features in CSSU ;)
18:42.16*** part/#maemo-ssu EdLin (~EdLin@securabit/listener/edlin)
18:42.21freemangordonand who told you that KP is goingt o be "the kernel"
18:42.25freemangordonkerio: ^^^
18:42.37MrPinguSince cssu3 is kp51?
18:42.44keriobecause kernel-cssu is kp51
18:42.45kerioyep
18:42.56freemangordoncssu3 is not distributed with official CSSU
18:43.14MrPingutrue ^^
18:43.53freemangordon"kernel" will contain those patches from KP which are considered usefull and safe
18:44.15MrPinguMay I ask what features are left out in official cssue kernel if one compares to kp
18:44.28freemangordonMrPingu: it is still not cleaar
18:45.14MrPingufreemangordon: Thanks, actually everything is fine to me as I am probably going with KP...
18:45.18freemangordonmost probably USB hostmode will not be
18:46.22freemangordonbut it is still to be decided, part of my job will be to prepare a list of the patches and my opinion on whether we should include them or not.
18:46.48freemangordonthen the others could take that and agree/not
18:46.49kerioyeah, usb hostmode as pali made it requires bq24200_charger.ko which is borked
18:46.57freemangordonkerio: no
18:47.08keriono what?
18:48.52freemangordon<kerio> yeah, usb hostmode as pali made it requires bq24200_charger.ko which is borked
18:49.07keriowell, it *is* borked!
18:49.09freemangordonUSB hostmode (gui) does not need it
18:49.22freemangordonnoone forces you to use Pali's version
18:49.36freemangordonthere is h-e-n gui on repos
18:49.42keriothat's why i said "usb hostmode as pali made it"
18:49.55kerioand that's why i mentioned it as we were talking about which patches to include in the cssu kernel
18:50.18kerioand that's also why i'm still using h-e-n and not usbmode
18:50.20kerio.sh
18:50.33freemangordonwell , those bqxxxx modules for sure won;t make it in cssu until proven stable. though on the other hand thay are disabled by default, so will see
