OSWALD Newsletter Archives (by issue #, click to view)
The Open Source Law Weekly Digest or OSWALD first launched late in 2002. Since then it has been regularly providing updates on all things open source related. The focus of this newsletter is on business, rather than technical developments in open source. Another strong component of the newsletter is IP news, as it is of interest to me and has an effect on open source.

OSWALD #344 Period ending 3 February 2010
Welcome to the Open Source Law Weekly Open Source Digest (OSWALD)
Late again this week. Agh. This Oswald is last week's and does not go up to today. My picks for big stories this week are HTML5, open formats in Denmark, and some of the follow on from Oracle-Sun. HTML5 in particular is turning into a big battleground, with patent holders trying to establish the patent encumbered H.264 codec as part of the HTML5 specification. The patent holders have recently extended the royalty free period for web streaming by five years. The good thing though is that W3C actually has openness as one of its core principles unlike, for example, ISO. The latest version of the IFOSSLR (also out this week!) has a story on HTML5 video codecs.

HTML5 video and H.264 – what history tells us and why we’re standing with the web http://www.0xdeadbeef.com/weblog/2010/01/html5-video-and-h-264-what-history-tells-us-and-why-were-standing-with-the-web/
The players from Google and Vimeo do present a pretty serious problem, though. Each of these require a proprietary H. 264 codec to be able to view them. These codecs aren't compatible with the royalty-free web standards that the rest of the web is built on. The fact that they are being so unabashedly hyped along with the new darling of the web - HTML5 - means that most people don't understand that something very dangerous is taking place behind the scenes.

The following principles must be fulfilled before a standard can be on the list. The standard shall be: * Fully documented and publicly available. * Free implementable without economic, political or legal limitations on the implementation and use. * Approved by an internationally recognized standards organization, for example ISO, and standardized and maintained in an open forum through an open process. * It shall me demonstrated that the standard can be implemented by everybody direct in its entirety on multiple platforms. * Be interoperable within the functionality ceiling with other standards on the list.

And one of the problems that we have had is insufficient protection for intellectual property rights. That's true in China; it's true for everything from bootleg DVDs to very sophisticated software. And there's nothing wrong with other people using our technologies. We just want to make sure that it's licensed and you're getting paid....
So I've given instructions to my trade offices -- and we actually highlight this at the highest levels of foreign policy -- that these are issues that have to be addressed because that's part of the reciprocity of making our markets open.

Apple iPad Has a Little Trademark iProblem http://www.hardwarecentral.com/hardwarecentral/news/article.php/3861471
Japanese electronics giant Fujitsu released a product in 2002 called the iPad, a Windows CE-based handheld device used by shop clerks for doing store inventory. It applied for a U. S. trademark on the name in March 2003, but that stalled because of an earlier trademark filing by Mag-Tech, an IT security company.

Is IP another bubble about to burst? A view from another civilization. http://opensource.com/law/09/12/ip-another-bubble-about-burst-view-another-civilization
One of my favorite stories illustrates the importance accorded to the sharing of knowledge. After the brutal battle of Kalinga, the Emperor Ashoka was so overcome with remorse that he renounced bloodshed and embraced Buddhism. As part of his penance, Ashoka went to monasteries across the country. At each monastery, he would leave munificent donations of gold coins. At one monastery, the emperor left behind one solitary gold coin. When his perplexed followers asked him to explain, Ashoka said that the abbot of the monastery was a great man but he did not share his knowledge with others.

Her project faced two challenges, one obvious, one not. The obvious challenge was technical: gathering fifty years of film and restoring it digitally. The non-obvious challenge was legal: clearing the rights to move this creative work onto this new platform for distribution.

A person in the industry with knowledge of the dispute, which has been brewing for a year, said Amazon was expressing its strong disagreement by temporarily removing Macmillan books. The person did not want to be quoted by name because of the sensitivity of the matter. Macmillan, like other publishers, has asked Amazon to raise the price of e-books to around $15 from $9. 99.
Apple's unhackable system... http://blogs.zdnet.com/Foremski/?p=1094&tag=wrapper;col1
We don't yet know what else is in the A4 chip. My guess is that there is a bunch of hardcore digital rights management (DRM) hardware on the chip. It's essentially a large security dongle that happens to have its own processing and video/graphics capabilities.

Anything the iPad can do, Linux can do better. http://blogs.computerworld.com/15487/anything_the_ipad_can_do_linux_can_do_better
But it won't just be the Apple iPad that does them in. I foresee a rollout of dozens of Linux-powered devices by the end of the year. In part, that may be because the content on Linux devices won't come saddled with Apple's DRM (digital rights management). But the real reason why Linux devices should win is price. If the vendors can't beat the bottom-end iPad's list price of $499, then they're not really trying. [OSL: this overlooks the application support through iTunes]
Apple’s iPad vs Notion Ink’s Adam tablet with Ubuntu: battle of two http://soltesza.wordpress.com/2010/01/28/apples-ipad-vs-notion-inks-adam-tablet-with-ubuntu-battle-of-two-worlds/
MSI ready to launch iPad alternative http://www.itworld.com/personal-tech/94697/msi-ready-launch-ipad-alternative
The iPad runs iPhone OS while the MSI runs Android. That means the MSI will multitask of course, and Flash support in Android should be a given by launch time (though that isn't certain). It has a camera. It's running on an Nvidia Tegra2 chip which Ars Technica suggests puts it on par with the iPad's A4 as far as computing horsepower. And of course Android doesn't live in a walled garden. On the other hand, it doesn't have the iTunes App Store, nor does it have the media partners that Apple has lined up for the iPad.

Why There is no Kernel Hacker Sell-Out http://www.computerworlduk.com/community/blogs/index.cfm?entryid=2753&blogid=14
In my view, this 75% figure indicates two things. First, that *most* of the top kernel hackers are being paid to code. That's really great news, because it means that people can earn money doing what they love, and aren't obliged to starve in garrets. Secondly, it means that very large computer companies regard the kernel as so important that they are prepared to pay these people good salaries to work on it.
