Misc. bits.

[Colin McGregor]

First I trust everyone here knows that the Free
Software Foundation has officially released the GNU
Public Licence version 3. The GPL version 2 is the
licence that most of the software a typical GNU/Linux
system is released under. Provisions in the GPL 3 will
make things ... interesting ... for a few companies,
such as Microsoft, Novell, TiVo and Xandros (all who
have in one way or another attempted to exploit
loopholes in GPL 2, that are now closed in GPL 3).  

Last Monday I was talking to our fearless leader Drew
Sullivan, he will be testing updates to the Wiki, and
hopefully by the end of July the spam, defacement,
etc. that we have be pained with should be a bad
memory...

Google Desktop Beta is out for Linux, so if you want
to index the files of your Linux box, then be able to
find them through a Google style search system check
it out.

I am working on a magazine article on recent Linux
software bugs/flaws. If you have any that I must see.
please let me know...
