Companies can be successful and making a lot of money without taking away their users' freedom. It doesn't make them evil, but it makes me loose any interest in their products.

"What on earth are you talking about? The issue as it pertains to the spec was decided over six months ago. Here is the post by the editor of the spec saying so: http://lists.whatw…

"They already do this by letting users install Flash -- in fact, they make it particularly easy to do so, patent-encumbered though it is. And as I've pointed out before, they use F…

"The burden of what? Deciding what video content is acceptable? Like I said before, that should not be Mozilla's role, but it's the one they've taken on." The burden of dealing wit…

This is still about an open web. Using gstreamer would just be passing the burden onto others without solving much. Users would be able to watch h264 videos, but they wouldn't be a…

Any stats to back up your wild claims and non-sense assumptions?

Then users shouldn't use patent encumbered formats. Simple as that. There already been enough mess by formats supported by browser X but not Y.

Their actions come from their values. And they happen to value an open web and free software. So yes, it is actually useful. And then, how would you qualify apple by not supporting…

Just to be clear. From OSI (see http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd ): "1. Free Redistribution The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a…

There is a huge difference between "not valuing freedom" and "valuing advantage X more than freedom". This is not all or nothing. This is not a case of "you are either with us or a…

Why is it bullshit? I never implied anything about you/ How using H.264 would be beneficial to free software and open standards? This is really about how much you value your freedo…

Yes I mean software freedom. Well, free software (whether it is GNU/GPL or BSD-like) allow you to sell it. But how could it remain free (as in freedom) if redistribution has string…

VLC's faq should give you some answer : Regarding Patentable Inventions, the second paragraph of article 52 of the European Patent Convention (EPC) states: The following (..) shall…

So it looks like your value your freedom to $0.20. "And remember, I am still allowed to do anything I want with the code. I just have to give MPEG-LA half a can of beer do it." The…

Ah so if YOU don't worry about, I guess everything is going to be fine :)

It just depends how much you value your freedom.

It reminds me that: http://www.dragonflylodge.org/foaf/dns4people.html I think I am gonna work on a side project around that.

That's a very limited way of looking at free software. Free software gives you some very important freedom you wouldn't have otherwise. It also improves software quality ("given en…

As a user I could as well contract a company to adapt, develop or/and support a free software to my needs. As an example there are all these companies providing services for nagios…

When I say logs, I mean all sort of logs (network, system, app...). So that include auth logs, apache logs and so on.

There isn't one single solution to cover all angles. So yes, logs are useful but won't protect you either. And yes, they could help you to discover intrusion. Regarding authenticat…

* you use logs so you can be aware of suspicious events at network, system and app level * you have scripts to analyze these logs and notify you if anything suspicious happens. Thi…
