| 11:35.03 | LinuxCode | DocScrutinizer05, cflis a bit naff |
| 11:35.05 | LinuxCode | CFL |
| 11:35.15 | LinuxCode | LED is now coming |

| 11:35.28 | DocScrutinizer05 | LED is kinda OK'ish |

| 11:35.46 | LinuxCode | some colours are ghastly |
| 11:35.47 | jonwil | My own experience is that CFLs DO use less electricity and DO last longer than the old bulbs |
| 11:35.51 | DocScrutinizer05 | after we poisoned the dumps with mercury and other crap from CFL |

| 11:36.15 | LinuxCode | jonwil, yeh but contain mercury etc.. |
| 11:36.24 | LinuxCode | and still use 20-400 watts |
| 11:36.27 | LinuxCode | eh 40 |
| 11:36.35 | oooaaaooo | DocScrutinizer05: LED / 3-5 bandgap manufacturing isnt exactly "green" |
| 11:36.38 | jonwil | CFLs do contain mercury but that's why there are places around here where you can safely recycle them |
| 11:36.39 | LinuxCode | they say 20 watts or 18, then you put a meter on and it is 25 |
| 11:36.52 | DocScrutinizer05 | oooaaaooo: that too |
| 11:37.01 | jonwil | IKEA for one has a recycling station for them :) |

| 11:37.20 | LinuxCode | googles |
| 11:37.24 | DocScrutinizer05 | every such discussion always ignores the dumps of toxic waste at the *factory* building all the chips and shit |
| 11:38.05 | jonwil | as for the discussion on wind and solar, our new government wants to close down programs designed to encourage renewable energy usage |
| 11:38.31 | jonwil | I am not 100% sure but I think they want to end the program that gives subsidies to people who put solar panels on their roof |
| 11:38.48 | DocScrutinizer05 | same here |
| 11:38.59 | DocScrutinizer05 | industry thinks we got enough of them |
| 11:40.03 | oooaaaooo | jonwil: http://www.e-wastelandfilm.com/ |
| 11:41.06 | LinuxCode | they dropped subsidies in the UK |
| 11:41.17 | LinuxCode | but they reckon solar productions costs will clump the next 10 years |
| 11:41.28 | LinuxCode | negating why you would need subsidies |
| 11:42.38 | jonwil | I recon one of the worst things our new government wants to do is to cancel the nice shiny new fiber-to-the-home National Broadband Network and replace it with a crappier fiber-to-the-node network |
| 11:42.43 | oooaaaooo | jonwil: thats probably where ikea's recycling program ends up |
| 11:43.05 | jonwil | Actually I dont think its IKEA that's running it, I think it might be the council that IKEA happens to be in |
| 11:43.11 | jonwil | so its a council recycle program, not an IKEA one |

| 12:00.18 | DocScrutinizer05 | the 5% light (when not escaping thru window) are also transferred to heat a nanosecond later |

| 12:42.34 | LinuxCode | I just find it appalling, when they said the police would now just read out the contents of people's phones |
| 12:42.41 | LinuxCode | in the UK, that is |
| 12:43.20 | DocScrutinizer05 | yes, they can do this, using same gear as your phone service point |
| 12:43.35 | DocScrutinizer05 | or yourself at home, with Nokiasuite |
| 12:43.40 | DocScrutinizer05 | etc |
| 12:43.56 | FatPhil | Certainly anything on the SIM is fair game |
| 12:44.13 | LinuxCode | DocScrutinizer05, anyway one can break that ? |
| 12:44.16 | DocScrutinizer05 | phoenix flasher software can do a tad more even, but still no magic backdoor, particularly not on N900 |
| 12:44.19 | oooaaaooo1 | i swear my HAM update check is event driven and not time... |
| 12:45.14 | DocScrutinizer05 | oooaaaooo1: yes, it is. and it as well does an update check once a day |
| 12:45.22 | FatPhil | I don't see why you couldn't use an encrypted /home/user |
| 12:45.39 | DocScrutinizer05 | sure you can, several users did |
| 12:45.43 | LinuxCode | FatPhil, well yeh, but then if you can still read out the phonebook |

| 12:51.32 | kerio | oh |
| 12:51.34 | LinuxCode | will use the N900 until something comes along that could replace it |

| 13:41.53 | jonwil | possible candidates for attack: |

| 13:42.06 | jonwil | libiphb |
| 13:42.13 | jonwil | liblocation |
| 13:42.17 | jonwil | libplayback |

| 13:43.01 | jonwil | possibly cloning |
| 13:43.50 | FatPhil | I forget how much libsysinfo was removed from the running of the system, there was an attempt to get rid of it |
| 13:44.57 | jonwil | also possibly considering hildon-im-common-virtual-settings |
| 13:44.59 | jonwil | hildon-input-method-configurator |
| 13:45.03 | jonwil | libdevlock1 |

| 13:46.35 | FatPhil | My mind is boggled. WhyTF would No-longer-kia want to close source crap like that?!?!? |
| 13:48.42 | jonwil | All sorts of reasons, "product differentiation", "legal risks", "3rd party IP", who knows |
| 13:49.30 | jonwil | A lot of it has to do with a desire to keep the UI (or most of it anyway) closed because (in Nokia's words) "UI is one of the main things that makes our phones different from others" |
| 13:52.07 | jonwil | considering maybe libtime or libiphb or libplayback |
| 13:53.51 | dos1 | what does libplayback do? |
| 13:56.26 | jonwil | audio related |
| 13:59.51 | dos1 | I'd choose liblocation |

| 15:13.32 | DocScrutinizer05 | I guess ~50% of "maemo" been actually done by those subcontractors |
| 15:14.09 | LinuxCode | maybe that is why Nokia did not persist then |
| 15:14.17 | DocScrutinizer05 | and while Nokia owns the rights to use the sources, they are not allowed to disclose and publish them |
| 15:15.19 | DocScrutinizer05 | or at least it would need then to assign a few dozen lawyers to evaluate and proofread all sources and contracts before they dare to disclose |
| 15:15.29 | LinuxCode | well, if they used FOSS code that is fair enough I guess |
| 15:15.33 | DocScrutinizer05 | s/then/them/ |
| 15:17.23 | DocScrutinizer05 | as I stated several times already: FOSS spirit and idea been of low priority and poorly understood at all, in pretty much all of upper Nokia management |
| 15:17.46 | LinuxCode | why does that not surprise me |
| 15:17.49 | DocScrutinizer05 | "exploit and monetize" it been |
| 15:19.32 | DocScrutinizer05 | there are several instances where Nokia not even disclosed clearly FOSS sourcecode they exploited |
| 15:19.55 | DocScrutinizer05 | not even after community asking for disclosure according to GPL |
| 15:21.34 | DocScrutinizer05 | FSF could sue them outa their stinky chairs |
| 15:22.01 | jonwil | can you cite an example of where Nokia are violating the license of 3rd party code they didn't write? |

| 15:23.33 | oooaaaooo | why is it trying DHCP when i already defined a manual connection in settings? |
| 15:23.52 | DocScrutinizer05 | jonwil: ask pali et al, they did several such reviews |
| 15:24.58 | Pali | jonwil: If I remember correctly for example exim library |
| 15:25.24 | Pali | and in past problem with (harmattan) gst-dsp library |
| 15:26.05 | Pali | but later source code of both libraries was released (exim was same as in debian, and gst-dsp was pushed to gitorious) |
| 15:26.38 | Pali | and I'm not sure about vorbis, ogg, speex and jpeg license |
| 15:26.47 | Pali | all these libraries are closed in harmattan |
| 15:26.52 | Pali | and are patched by nokia |
| 15:27.09 | jonwil | vorbis, ogg, speex and jpeg are BSD or BSD-esque |
| 15:27.13 | jonwil | so those aren't an issue |
| 15:27.31 | *** join/#maemo-ssu M4rtinK (~M4rtinK@mail.melf.eu) |
| 15:27.32 | Pali | nokia jpeg code was after some time upstreamed (but they did it quitly) |
| 15:28.26 | jonwil | Nokjia aren't obligated to share code for vortbis, ogg or speex |
| 15:28.32 | Pali | jonwil: and there is maybe problem with TI DSP userspace parts... |
| 15:28.42 | Pali | like libomxil-ti0 |
| 15:28.46 | DocScrutinizer05 | please sign! http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot/statement |
| 15:29.10 | jonwil | and they wont because doing so would mean sharing proprietary TI DSP info (used to build the DSP parts of the vorbix/ogg/speex stuff) |
| 15:29.14 | Pali | it is open source library, but do not know if nokia copied only it or also changed |
| 15:29.33 | Pali | jonwil: I mean open source libraries |
| 15:30.40 | Pali | and another thing which I remembered was SWI prolog interpreter |
| 15:30.40 | Pali | there was only binary, but after some time nokia pushed source code to r.m.o |
| 15:30.48 | Pali | (source code was same as upstream SWI) |
| 15:31.01 | jonwil | Its possible that libomxil-ti0 (as used in N900) was given to Nokia as 100% TI code (whether Nokia changed it is another matter) |
| 15:31.37 | Pali | another is for example ohm patches and ohm plugins |
| 15:31.47 | Pali | ohm is (or was?) project on freedesktop |
| 15:32.04 | Pali | but now you can find all source code at gitorious in big git tree |
| 15:32.05 | jonwil | ohm is 100% open last I checked |
| 15:32.14 | Pali | it is not easy, but I added all links to wiki |
| 15:32.24 | Pali | (all commits) |
| 15:33.47 | jonwil | ok, so the REAL question is not what Nokia did in the past but if there are any packages Nokia are still in violation over |
| 15:33.58 | jonwil | i.e. if they are still violating GPL/LGPL/etc somewhere |
| 15:34.58 | jonwil | There are some packages on http://wiki.maemo.org/Fremantle_closed_packages that say "license = GPL" but I bet that Nokia (or TI or both in some cases) actually owns the copyright to that code in most cases and can therefore distribute it without needing anyone's permission |
| 15:35.43 | jonwil | <PROTECTED> |
| 15:35.55 | jonwil | same with hildon-desktop-applet-settings-mr0 and hildon-desktop-application-shortcuts-mr0 |
| 15:36.02 | jonwil | and libcodelockui1 and libcodelockui1-dev |
| 15:36.09 | jonwil | and maemointernal-keyring and osso-backup |
| 15:36.40 | jonwil | libas-storage-0 is likely Nokia copyright or possibly also Microsoft copyright (its part of ActiveSync) and so Nokia doesn't need to release code |
| 15:37.03 | jonwil | and libomap3cam is likely Nokia copyright, TI copyright or both and hence again license doesn't matter |
| 15:37.11 | Pali | jonwil: other problem is with l10n packages |
| 15:37.28 | jonwil | whats the issue with those? |
| 15:37.42 | Pali | if l10n packages are derived work of main applications, then there can be problem |
| 15:37.56 | Pali | some of applications are not fully copyrighted by nokia |
| 15:39.12 | jonwil | Someone should find a case where the contents of an l10n package is being used by code that isn't (C) Nokia (or (C) someone like TI or Microsoft who is likely to have licensed it to Nokia) and then contact the actual copyright holders to see if said copyright holders believe a violation has taken place |
| 15:41.32 | FatPhil | jonwil: regarding "where Nokia are violating the license of 3rd party code" - powertop |
| 15:41.53 | FatPhil | Which reminds me, I'm going to write a real mail on paper to them regarding that. |
| 15:43.11 | jonwil | what package contains powertop? |
| 15:43.18 | jonwil | Is that harmattan or fremantle? |
| 15:43.19 | jonwil | or what? |
| 15:43.31 | FatPhil | HArmattan. But it was exactly the same code base |
| 15:44.22 | jonwil | so powertop license vioilation only applies to n9/n950 and not n900? |
| 15:45.09 | FatPhil | Your question refers to "nokia", I answered that question. |

| 15:46.27 | DocScrutinizer05 | please ask in #maemo |
| 15:46.33 | jonwil | ok, then I narrow my question and ask this: Are there any instances where we know of that Nokia are (as of right now) still violating the license of any packages used on the Nokia N900 device? |
| 15:47.15 | FatPhil | How did non-nokians get powertop binaries on their n900s? Did they just copy the harmattan one? |
| 15:47.42 | DocScrutinizer05 | jonwil: seems powertop meets that defintion |
| 15:47.52 | Pali | jonwil: powertop is also in fremantle pr1.0 n900 image |
| 15:48.07 | Pali | in first n900 public fiasco image |
| 15:48.19 | nedko | if nokia distributed something under GPL but didnt gave the source code, it still violates the license |
| 15:48.29 | nedko | regardless of nokia being the copyright holder |
| 15:48.52 | DocScrutinizer05 | nope |
| 15:48.58 | jonwil | No that's not true |
| 15:49.02 | Pali | jonwil: and if I remember correclty, harmattan version is based on fremantle powertop |
| 15:49.13 | jonwil | IF you are the copyright holder you can do anything you like with the code you wrote |
| 15:49.23 | jonwil | including releasing it with a GPL note and no source code |
| 15:49.26 | DocScrutinizer05 | nobody can foce the original author to publish derived work from GPL stuff he owns the (C) |
| 15:49.39 | jonwil | but yes it sounds like powertop is a violation then |

| 15:51.40 | DocScrutinizer05 | that's one of our reason d'etre |
| 15:51.46 | FatPhil | I'll address one issue at a time. And quite delicately too. |
| 15:51.55 | jonq | DocScrutinizer05: In fact, I asked in #maemo first and they tell me to ask to ssu guys |
| 15:52.24 | Pali | you need to send written letter to nokia... |
| 15:52.33 | Pali | already tried this |
| 15:52.47 | DocScrutinizer05 | jonq: seems i need to bash somebody over there |
| 15:53.04 | jonq | DocScrutinizer05: ;) |
| 15:53.14 | DocScrutinizer05 | jonq: who (nick) said that when (how long ago?)? |
| 15:53.17 | Pali | and they totally ignored what I wrote in letter and they send me DVD with burned one file = ISO image of r.m.o fremantle dump |
| 15:53.36 | Pali | they even do not know how to burn ISO image |
| 15:54.25 | jonq | DocScrutinizer05: to be more precise I set up a mail server. All works fine so I set and account in my n900 but I can't connect to my mailbox I don't know why. This is why I'd like to see the logs |
| 15:54.52 | jonq | DocScrutinizer05: how long ago = maybe 3/4 days and who ? I don't remember |
| 15:54.58 | DocScrutinizer05 | that's all fine but not related to CSSU |
| 15:55.04 | jonq | DocScrutinizer05: ok |

| 15:56.53 | FatPhil | DocScrutinizer05: what's the view on cleanup patches that don't affect functionality? Are they worth doing? |
| 15:56.55 | jonq | DocScrutinizer05: ok I understand |
| 15:57.14 | jonwil | Lets move the source-code/license discussion over to #maemo then |
| 15:57.19 | DocScrutinizer05 | FatPhil: please elaborate |
| 15:57.55 | FatPhil | e.g. removing braindead logging, e.g. "libfoo: I just received teh 2 parameters!!!!" |
| 15:58.04 | nedko | hmm, it looks that you are right about enforcing gpl. thanks for clarification |
| 15:58.38 | DocScrutinizer05 | jonwil: i'd be willing to tolerate GPL discussions as loosely related to CSSU, especially since this channel got a second topic of porting-fremantle |
