Please Vote For My Photo
http://www.webmink.net/2008/06/please-vote-for-my-photo.htmYou may remember last year my posting about being unable to get my photograph of Sydney Opera House onto iStockphoto. The problem was that the Opera House has an over-broad interpretation of trademark law that they are trying to use to control the market in photographs, and iStock is respecting rather than challenging it. …

European Open Source Observatory and Repository, EC considering Open Source Migration, German Migration Guide available: links 05-07-2008
http://robertogaloppini.net/2008/07/05/european-open-source-...research on whether it should migrate to Open Source software or not. Carlo Piana commented saying that the Commission should be more thorough in following their own policies.

Midsommar, Java och annat
http://blog.rejas.se/2008/06/22/212/Skummade lite bland nyheterna och ser via Niklas Anderssons blog en nyhet på Jboss.org om att RedHat nu tagit det sista steget mot ett helt öppet Java.
