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 #426 Period ending 23 November 2011

Welcome to the Open Source Law Weekly Open Source Digest (OSWALD)

Last week's news today! I was away in the week of the 14th. This is part of the catching up. The main IP news (which has been a little down) this week is the up and coming SOPA Act in the US. This Act is intended to allow companies alleging infringement to bypass normal judicial procedure in respect of their targets. There are also a few more stories about the retirement of Adobe's Flex.

At the OSDC conference dinner Jon Oxer had a really interesting talk about 3D printers. One striking example he gave was in relation to assault rifles in the US. Apparently the sale of these guns is regulated by controlling a certain part called the "lower receiver". All other parts can be obtained anonymously through mail order, except for this one lower receiver part. You might have guessed it, people are now printing functional lower receivers on their own 3D printers bypassing the regulation.

Novell-Microsoft trial at critical juncture
http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/money/52939617-79/novell-microsoft-gates-trial.html.csp

Novell had purchased WordPerfect and other software programs in 1994 in order to compete head-to-head with Microsoft. It claims Gates’ decision to withdraw the previously promoted features of Windows 95 was meant to try to give Microsoft time to develop its own programs such as Word and the spreadsheet Excel and, ultimately, to help it maintain its monopoly in computer operating systems.

A copyright holder need only accuse a website of infringement, and the search engine, advertisement, and payment system would be cut off in five days. The DNS filtering would still need the involvement of the Department of Justice to get that court order, but again, there would be no need to prove anything to obtain such an order from a judge.

Tech Giants Weigh in On USPTO Post Grant Rule Making Effort
http://www.patentspostgrant.com/lang/en/2011/11/tech-giants-weigh-in-on-post-grant-rule-making

As a practical matter, the new thresholds should not necessarily produce a higher rejection rate than that which resulted under the “substantial new question” threshold for inter partes reexamination. Although some have described the new thresholds as “elevated,”^ the difference is one of kind and not of degree.

So Oracle - Are you Supporting Linux or Unix?
http://www.internetnews.com/blog/skerner/so-oracle-are-you-supporting-linux-or-unix-.html
