| 16:55.26 | kanzure | someone is asking me why the us government can't produce open source software (i.e. they have to license it in the public domain) |
| 16:55.36 | kanzure | however, i can't find any good references for this on the net, something that might explain the legal aspects of this |
| 16:55.40 | kanzure | any hints? anyone here know? |

| 17:48.19 | Ralith | kanzure: GPL â open source software |
| 17:49.19 | Ralith | BRL-CAD is an example of US government produced open source software |
| 17:49.38 | kanzure | GPL is an OSI-approved license for "open source" |
| 17:49.49 | kanzure | are you arguing otherwise? (just wondering) |
| 17:50.21 | Ralith | no, I'm saying that whether or not the GPL is applicable is irrelevant to the question of whether or not a piece of software is open souce. |
| 17:50.24 | Ralith | source* |
| 17:51.18 | Ralith | the pages you linked thus have nothing to do with your question. |
| 17:51.34 | Ralith | and your original implication is false |

| 18:53.07 | starseeker | kanzure: If I understand your question, works produced by the US Federal government (under most circumstances) are public domain by default |
| 18:54.02 | starseeker | the government can have copyright assigned to it for works that have copyright otherwise (for an example of this, see http://dlmf.nist.gov/about/notices |
| 18:56.28 | starseeker | eer, nevermind - that commit message is wrong - the -l flag IS being passed, just forgot to check with make VERBOSE=1 before committing |

| 19:19.45 | kanzure | starseeker: ah, didn't know that caveat about other copyrights, thanks |
| 21:04.59 | Ralith | kanzure: 'public domain' is as open as source can get. |
| 21:06.08 | kanzure | i see you don't like to use "open source" to mean the infectious share-alike aspects.. |
| 21:06.16 | kanzure | er, there's probably a better way for me to say that |
| 21:06.41 | starseeker | those licenses represent a subset of what are termed "open-source" licenses |
