Trying to get through a kernel patch

After having trouble setting up my selection of CH joysticks to work with X-Plane on my Gentoo Linux based laptop, I did some research. It seems that the issue is a well known one: on 64 bit Linux systems, joystick control events are not passed through to 32 bit applications. And X-Plane is such - a closed source application, available in 32 bit binaries only.

Despite the issue being raised earlier on the linux-kernel list, this was not yet fixed in the kernel. So I posted a patch again, hoping for the best.

ua: yet another tool for finding duplicates

The problem of finding duplicate files is probably as old as megabyte capacity hard drives. The fact that there are so many on practically any system that has been in operation for some time is surprising. I would say it is even astonishing when you find source duplicates in your development tree. Well, as part of our cleanup and improvement process we decided to get rid of them. This presents the first problem, how do we find them?

EU Edge Open Source site launched

I'm glad to announce that we've launched the EU Edge Open Source site. This site will contain the open source projects developed by EU Edge, as well as references to open source projects maintained (or contributed to) by EU Edge members.

The first EU Edge Open Source project released on this site is ua, a command line tool to find identical files.

Enjoy :)

Let the user see the code - GPL for Web applications

The Free Software Foundation has released the Affero General Public License version 3. The license is essentially the GPLv3 with an added clause that requires that source code be distributed to users that interact with the application over a network. The license effectively extends copyright to Web applications. The new AGPL will have important effects for companies that, under the GPL, have no obligation to distribute changes to users on the Web. This release adds the license to the stable of official FSF licenses and is compatible with the GPLv3.

If Google would be really open, they would adopt this license.
