¿La revolución informática realmente revolucionará la música? Linux Audio Conference 2007
by Marcos Guglielmetti 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

En este artículo presento una _crítica_ a las exageradas esperanzas puestas en la informática relacionada con el futuro de la música en cuanto a su poder revolucionario. (http://www.mastermagazine.info/articulo/11483.php) GNU/Linux Audio Conference en Berlín 28/03/2007 Autor: (marcos) Marcos Guglielmetti Los músicos aparentemente están revolucionando la música electrónica con programas y con instrumentos realizados por ellos mismos. La conferencia se realizó en la Universidad Técnica de Berlín y convocó a gente de todo el mundo vinculada con el Software Libre y la música... según quienes cuentan la historia, "muchachos de todas partes del mundo discutiendo horas frente a computadoras personales, con sus audífonos puestos, hablando en una jerga inextricable"... apuesto a que fue realmente así, basta con seguir las charlas en la lista de correo de linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu para darse cuenta de que se trata de un grupo ciertamente muy "geek" (fanático de la tecnología) y elitista, gente que quizá sepa mucho de programación y de música, pero a la que -en general- le cuesta llegar con palabras corrientes al resto de los usuarios de sistemas privativos, con el fin de que cambien al Software Libre. Hablo con conocimiento de causa, dado que hace 2 años o más que estoy subscripto a la lista linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu, en donde prácticamente todos los que estuvieron en LAC 2007 (Linux Audio Conference 2007) escriben a diario, discuten, se ayudan... el espíritu de la lista de correo es muy bueno y colaborativo, aunque realmente elitista. Pero no sólo de software trata el evento: los geeks reunidos allí suelen fabricar sus propios elementos de hardware para controlar programas musicales, suelen utilizar complejos softwares como Puredata o Csound, los cuales espantarían a la mayoría de los músicos que recién se acercan a una computadora. Miguel Álvarez Fernández, uno de los curadores de LAC 2007, explica por qué este ambiente es revolucionario: "Acá se están buscando novedades, podríamos decir revolucionarias, en el ámbito tecnológico. La plataforma Linux, y en general las plataformas llamadas de código abierto, permiten una nueva relación con la tecnología. Aquí todos colaboran con todos, es una comunidad. Vamos indagando posibilidades y redefiniendo el concepto de música"... aunque ¿no suena demasiado pretencioso redefinir el concepto de música? La gente puede redefinir todos los conceptos que quiera, sinceramente, pero un problema al respecto será: ¿habrá oyentes para esa nueva música que tiene como base conceptos redefinidos de un modo radical? El tiempo lo dirá. Para otros asistentes, el asunto no es tan innovador como lo pinta Miguel... Edgar Barroso piensa: "Sigue siendo lo mismo que la composición musical. Utilizo técnicas del barroco, de la música medieval; creo que sigue siendo lo mismo. Lo único que cambia son los medios". Por otro lado, definitivamente esta frase habla de un optimismo exagerado en cuanto a las esperanzas puestas en la tecnología:"La música del futuro, de melodías inexplicables, se genera con medios electrónicos." Eso último suena a lo que en la década de 1950 se promocionaba como las casas del futuro, con extraños aparatos que te untaban la manteca en la tostada mediante una mano robótica o cosas de similar nivel de disparate: al final seguimos untando la tostada con nuestras propias manos... porque es lo más lindo, lo más agradable, lo más bello. Por el contrario, suena mucho más realista hablar de este tipo de cosas: "A un costado está otro mexicano, Sergio Luque. Acaba de estrenar su obra "De la Incertidumbre" en la sala del Instituto Cervantes. Luque trabaja con un generador aleatorio de sonido, lo que le permite literalmente encontrar sonidos nunca antes escuchados por el oído humano." Programas como Alsa Modular Synth también permiten hacer este tipo de cosas. La nota original (citada abajo), continúa y no tiene desperdicio, habla de que es imposible encontrar melodías en este nuevo mundo: "Es cierto, esta música está concentrada en timbres complejos, que para la mayoría de la gente sería ruido, pero que a mí me rompería el corazón si dijeran que es tal, aunque ya me lo han roto un par de veces; creo que es cuestión de acostumbrarse". Los dejo con los dos últimos párrafos y luego vuelvo:"Luego de un par de horas de concentración en esta música y luchando contra las costumbres tradicionales del oído propio, las emociones comienzan a surgir: es un mundo algo inhóspito, donde la guía de la melodía falta, pero donde comienzan a surgir emociones del todo comparables con la música tradicional." "Lo que en un principio era puro desconcierto se va haciendo más cercano y ya se puede comenzar a creer que este extraño mundo musical se transforme alguna vez en la música usual que, quién sabe, quizá la próxima generación ya deposite, expectante y nerviosa, en su aparato de reproducción de CD's." Nuevamente la -a mí parecer- exagerada esperanza en el ruido, el optimismo un tanto ridículo por la creatividad que tienen las máquinas, lo cual esconde, creo yo, una bancarrota estético-compositiva en ciertos grupos, en ciertas escuelas, en ciertas academias, en ciertas ideologías que pretenden que lo único importante en materia artística es innovar, cuando quizá lo verdaderamente importante sea 1º expresar lo que uno desea, 2º pasar un buen momento. Nótese que el cronista habla de "es un mundo algo inhóspito", sin melodías, ni más ni menos que el microcentro de Buenos Aires, por ejemplo. ¿Por qué duplicar ese ruido? Personalmente pienso que la música llamada "contemporánea", y en particular esa que se basa en llamar música al ruido, no hace más que trasladar el ruido de las ciudades (autos, motos, aviones, etc.) a los instrumentos y presentarlo si fuera música... sin ir más lejos, una caminata por el centro de mi ciudad sería un gran concierto para toda esta generación de músicos revolucionarios... y todo esto lo dice alguien que hace música con computadoras desde el año 1993, además del hecho de que desarrollo un sistema operativo para músicos y artistas en general llamado Musix GNU+Linux. En todo caso, queda abierta la polémica, yo no pretendo dar recetas, pero me encargué de comprar una guitarra acústica, una batería acústica, un bajo eléctrico, y si la computadora no enciende, puedo hacer música con estos instrumentos "contrarrevolucionarios"... es más, últimamente es normal que opte por apagar la computadora y escuchar en serenidad el sonido limpio de mi guitarra acústica... y como mucho, el cantar de algún ave en el patio... En una sociedad industrializada en la que la creatividad fue pasando desde los hombres y mujeres hacia las máquinas, no está nada mal tener un control potencialmente total sobre las mismas utilizando Software Libre, pero de algún modo es un poco hacerle el juego al sistema de producción industrial alienante dejar en manos de las máquinas casi toda la creatividad artística.

Fwd: [Info-gplv3] Copy of the third draft of GPLv3
by Diego Saravia 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: GPLv3 Information <info-gplv3(a)gplv3.fsf.org> Date: 28-mar-2007 11:17 Subject: [Info-gplv3] Copy of the third draft of GPLv3 To: info-gplv3(a)gplv3.fsf.org GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Discussion Draft 3 of Version 3, 28 March 2007 THIS IS A DRAFT, NOT A PUBLISHED VERSION OF THE GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. (http://fsf.org) 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. Preamble The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works. The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other program whose authors commit to using it. You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make requirements that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software. For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be associated erroneously with the previous versions. Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the purpose of the GPL, which is to protect users' freedom to change the software where changes are possible. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in places where they do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. TERMS AND CONDITIONS 0. Definitions. "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks. "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as "you." "Licensees" and "recipients" may be individuals or organizations. To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of a verbatim copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program. A "contributor" is a party who licenses under this License a work on which the Program is based. Such a work is called the party's "contribution." To "propagate" a work means to do (or cause others to do) anything with it that requires permission under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or making modifications that you do not share. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well. To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies, excluding sublicensing. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. A party's "essential patent claims" in a work are all patent claims owned or controlled by the party, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling the work, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the work. For purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License. 1. Source Code. The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source form of a work. A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language. The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is normally included in the distribution of a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form. A "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work. The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work. 2. Basic Permissions. All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. Propagation of covered works that you do not convey, and making modified versions of the Program that you do not convey, are permitted without conditions, so long as your license otherwise remains in force. Conveying is permitted under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary. 3. No Denying Users' Rights through Technical Measures. No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures. When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technical measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of technical measures. 4.[1] Conveying Verbatim Copies. You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. 5.[2] Conveying Modified Source Versions. You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date. b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to "keep intact all notices". c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, unmodified except as permitted by section 7, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must include a convenient feature that displays an appropriate copyright notice, and tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (unless you provide a warranty), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. Specifically, if the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a command to display this information must be prominent in the list; otherwise, the work must display this information at startup. However, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not comply with this subsection, your work need not make them comply. A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate. 6.[3] Conveying Non-Source Forms. You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways: a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange. b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, either (1) to give anyone who possesses the object code a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) to provide access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b. d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d. A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work. A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. [In cases of doubt concerning whether an item is a "consumer product", the interpretation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. 2301 et seq., shall provide the basis for interpretation, regardless of the choice of law determination for this License as a whole.] "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made. If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM). The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient. Network access may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network. Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented, with an implementation available to the public in source code form, and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying. 7. Additional Terms. "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions. When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you may supplement the terms of this License with terms effective under, or drafted for compatibility with, local law: a. disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of section 15 of this License; or b. requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in source or object code forms of material added by you to a covered work; or c. prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of material added by you to a covered work, or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original version; or d. limiting the use for publicity purposes of specified names of licensors or authors, or of specified trade names, trademarks, or service marks, to the extent otherwise permitted by law. All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, purports to be governed by this License, supplemented by a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying. If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms. 8.[4] Termination. You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void. If you violate this License, any copyright holder may put you on notice by notifying you of the violation, by any reasonable means, provided 60 days have not elapsed since the most recent violation. Having put you on notice, the copyright holder may, at any time, terminate the rights (including any patent rights) that the copyright holder has granted to you under this License. However, if this is your first violation of this License with respect to a given copyright holder, and you cure the violation within 30 days following your receipt of the notice, then your license is automatically reinstated. In the event that your rights are terminated under this section, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as they remain in full compliance. 9.[5] Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. 10.[6] Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest. You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program (or the contribution of any contributor). 11. Patents. Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims in its contribution, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contribution. For purposes of the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" means a patent license, a covenant not to bring suit for patent infringement, or any other express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent. If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) disclaim the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid. If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license providing freedom to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work to any of the parties receiving the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from you, a patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you, and/or copies made from those, or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, which license does not cover, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of any of the rights that are specifically granted to recipients of the covered work under this License[, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to March 28, 2007]. Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. 12.[7] No Surrender of Others' Freedom. If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey the Program, or other covered work, so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. 13. Use with the Affero General Public License. Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link any covered work with a work licensed under version 2 of the Affero General Public License, and to convey the resulting combination. The terms of this License will continue to apply to your covered work but will not apply to the work with which it is linked, which will remain governed by the Affero General Public License. 14.[9] Revised Versions of this License. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide whether future versions of the GNU General Public License shall apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the Program. 15.[11, 12] Disclaimer of Warranty and Limitation of Liability. THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; for a GUI interface, you would use an "About box" instead. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 Ty Coon, President of Vice For more information on how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses.

En todos lados existen Heinzs

http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/elpais/1-82184-2007-03-23.html que hubiese opinado Pagina12 de haberse enterado del "consejo" de Heinz y la decision de Stallman? de buen papelon nos salvamos. Esto salio en tapa y primera pagina de Pagina 12. ademas: http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/elpais/subnotas/82184-26435-2007-03-23.ht… http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/elpais/subnotas/82184-26434-2007-03-23.ht… http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/elpais/1-82182-2007-03-23.html ------------------------- "Las Madres son políticas, son muy controversiales" La rectora de la Escuela Normal 6 Vicente López y Planes de Palermo no autorizó al centro de estudiantes a que inviten a las Madres de Plaza de Mayo. /fotos/20070323/notas/NA02FO01.JPG La Escuela Normal 6 Vicente López y Planes, de Güemes y Aráoz, en Palermo. Imagen: Jorge Larrosa Subnotas * Víctimas darán fundamento * El texto de "Edelhausen" Por Nora Veiras El centro de estudiantes de la Escuela Normal 6 Vicente López y Planes estaba preparando un acto para conmemorar el 24 de marzo, declarado Día Nacional de la Memoria, por la Verdad y la Justicia. Todo parecía ir sobre rieles hasta que la rectora, Susana Ueltzen, llamó a las alumnas que querían invitar a las Madres de Plaza de Mayo para hablar sobre el último golpe militar. "No va a ser posible porque las Madres son muy políticas. Son controversiales, violentas, tienen un vocabulario inadecuado, si quieren verlas pueden mirarlas por la televisión", escucharon Malena Tagliaferro y Julia Bralo de boca de la rectora. Página/12 se comunicó con la profesora Ueltzen y mantuvo el siguiente diálogo: –¿Usted les dijo a las chicas que las Madres son controversiales? –Sí, hay gente que no está de acuerdo. Acá tenemos una profesora que va a poner una placa referente a una ex alumna desaparecida, queremos hacer algo más de entrecasa. Les dije que podían ver en otra oportunidad, una vez que pidamos la autorización. –¿También cuestionó el "vocabulario inadecuado" de las Madres? –Sí, no es didáctico para lo que nosotros queremos. Siempre se las ha oído vociferando contra la gente. Con un vocabulario no adecuado. Además, sería redundante tanto: van a pasar un video (N. de R: Malajunta de Eduardo Aliverti), va a hablar una profesora... se haría muy largo. –¿Las conoce a las Madres? –Siempre las he visto por televisión. La nuestra es una actividad pedagógica, el vocabulario tiene que ser el adecuado, los alumnos tienen que hacer un trabajo. Es importante el vocabulario decoroso para la institución y los alumnos. –¿También puso reparos a que sea un discurso "político? –Sí, yo no quiero política acá adentro. Cuando preparen ellos será otra cosa. Hay mucha gente que no está de acuerdo con eso. Después empiezan los rumores de que hay política... es muy difícil en un ambiente donde hay alumnos, hay profesores. Es controvertido el tema, hay profesores que no están de acuerdo. –¿Qué quiere decir con que "no están de acuerdo con eso"? –No les gustan, no quieren escuchar. Es muy político. No estoy de acuerdo con poner la política acá adentro. No quiero que haya discusiones de tendencias políticas. –¿Cuál es el problema de argumentar posiciones políticas? –No es bueno el tema acá adentro. –¿Usted qué piensa de las Madres de Plaza de Mayo? –Las respeto como respeto a todo el mundo. Nada más que eso. No soy política, no me interesa la política. Yo trato de defender el nivel de la escuela. El centro de estudiantes le presentó ayer una nota a la rectora en la que indagan sobre los motivos de la negativa a invitar a Madres. Malena comentó que "como escuela, la función es formar a los alumnos, la televisión no tiene esa función, si la rectora nos dice que miremos la televisión en lugar de escuchar a las Madres es que estamos en un grave problema". Las estudiantes le recordaron a la rectora que desde el Ministerio de Educación de la ciudad promovieron distintas actividades con la participación de organismos de derechos humanos (ver página 3). La profesora Ueltzen no se dio por enterada e insistió en que algún sábado podrían ir las Madres a la escuela. Treinta y un años después de la asunción de la última dictadura militar, del Juicio a las Juntas, de la incansable lucha de familiares y víctimas, de la anulación de las leyes de impunidad, de la reapertura de los juicios a los represores acusados de delitos de lesa humanidad, una previsible invitación a las Madres muestra, una vez más, que hay debates que no están saldados y se escabullen detrás de las máscaras del "lenguaje adecuado" y la "no política". ------------------- Vale la pena poner en contexto: ***************************************** Declaración del Consejo Superior de la UNSa. a 31 años de la última Dictadura Militar ***************************************** SALTA, 07/03/07 Expediente N° 2.537/01.- RESOLUCIÓN CS Nº 065/07.- --VISTO que el 24 de marzo de 2007 se cumplen 31 años del último Golpe Militar que derrocó un gobierno democrático en Argentina, y - CONSIDERANDO: * Que esa dictadura militar provocó la desaparición, tortura y muerte de miles de personas, haciendo uso ilegítimo del poder y abuso de las armas que le diera el mismo pueblo al que atacó. * Que un Estado que debe regirse por la ley y el concepto de derecho ciudadano, no puede ejercer el poder en forma arbitraria en contra de personas civiles, acudiendo a metodologías reñidas con toda ética, como lo son la detención clandestina de personas, hombres, mujeres y niños; la traición; la vejación y tortura de seres humanos; la utilización encubierta de instalaciones, armas y personal de las fuerzas creadas para la defensa del pueblo, en contra de personas que, por añadidura, no tenían orden de detención ni causa abierta en la justicia. * Que resulta inaceptable que, bajo la hipótesis de la lucha contra una supuesta guerra contra el terrorismo, el Estado aplique metodologías terroristas en contra de sus ciudadanos y ciudadanos de otros países. * Que nuestra conciencia debe expresar la condena permanente a los personeros del terror, a pesar de las leyes de Obediencia Debida, de Punto Final del gobierno de Raúl Alfonsín y del Indulto de Carlos Menem. * Que miembros de la comunidad universitaria salteña fueron desaparecidos y asesinados por la Dictadura Militar. * Que todas las personas afectadas por la represión fueron ciudadanos de nuestro pueblo, del que esta Universidad se siente parte indisoluble. * Que, en memoria de los desaparecidos, nuestro compromiso debe solidificar las libertades y los derechos del hombre en el marco del sistema democrático. * Que el nefasto "Proceso de Reorganización Nacional" multiplicó por siete la deuda externa, provocando la entrega del país y generando las condiciones para la privatización de las empresas públicas. * Que ante el proceso de entrega debemos destacar la resistencia que el pueblo argentino tuvo en esos años y mantiene actualmente, especialmente de las Madres y Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, de los partidos políticos populares y parte del sindicalismo, que en todos estos años mantuvieron viva la llama de los derechos humanos. - Por ello, atento al tratamiento sobre tablas y luego de constituido en Comisión, EL CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE LA UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE SALTA (en su Segunda Sesión Ordinaria del 1º de marzo de 2007) R E S U E L V E : - ARTÍCULO 1º.- Repudiar la sangrienta represión contra la población civil perpetrada por la Dictadura Militar que accediera ilegítimamente al poder el 24 de Marzo de 1976. - ARTÍCULO 2º.- Rendir homenaje a la memoria de los miembros de esta Comunidad Universitaria desaparecidos y víctimas de la represión. - ARTÍCULO 3º.- Adherir a los actos que se realicen en rechazo del Golpe de Estado. - ARTÍCULO 4º.- Comunicar la presente resolución a: Señor Presidente de la Nación Argentina, Sra.

más de software libre y sus límites bajo el capitalismo
by josx 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

¡Hola amigos! En este interesante sitio "contrainformatica" se comenzo a hablar de los limites del sofware libre y sus limites bajo el capitalismo. Hay al menos un disparador que es un texto de hace unos años de leonardo vazquez (El paso por Venezuela en alguna oportunidad charlando de estos temas.): http://www.contrainformatica.org.ar/article.php3?id_article=1 Hace unos días comenzo escribiendo una reflexión reforzando algunos conceptos que pensaba ya en este articulo. Aquí les paso el enlace: http://www.contrainformatica.org.ar/breve.php3?id_breve=54 Yo conteste algunas cosas, y me parece que seria muy importante e interesante que participen en las posibles criticas y reflexiones del texto. -- Di Biase José Luis Contactos -->[ <http://www.joseluisdibiase.com.ar> - Blog] Contactos -->[ <http://www.interorganic.com.ar/josx/> - Info Personal] "viaja hasta tu ideal, sembra tu flor, labra tu libertad, rega tu voz cerra tus ojos que sobra lugar en idilia para los dos"

GNU+Linux es más ecológico que Windows
by Marcos Guglielmetti 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

ver: http://autosus.wordpress.com/2007/03/28/gnulinux-es-mas-ecologico-que-windo… GNU+Linux es más ecológico que Windows De: http://www.techworld.com/opsys/news/index.cfm?newsid=8226 El gobierno del Reino Unido acaba de publicar un informe del que se desprende que los servidores con GNU/Linux instalado son más respetuosos con el medio ambiente que aquellos con Windows. La razón la explican en TechhWorld: el estudio del Departamento de Comercio del Gobierno afirma que el software libre tiene menos requisitos hardware y son necesarias menos actualizaciones de componentes. La noticia cita al artículo diciendo que “para sistemas equivalentes Windows y Linux, los sistemas Open Source necesitan menos memoria y un procesador más lento para obtener la misma funcionalidad“. Las conclusiones del estudio coinciden con uno de los miembros de gobierno que más fuerte apuesta por el software libre, George Osbourne, que dijo que si se utilizase GNU+Linux en varios organismos públicos se podrían ahorrar del orden de 600 millones de libras esterlinas. por Javier Pastor: Lunes 26 Marzo 2007, 4:32 Nota: en este artículo y en el informe no se tiene en cuenta que para programar sobre software libre siempre se utiliza gran cantidad de código ya liberado, por lo cual se gasta menos energía en general, por no tener que reinventar la rueda a cada rato: menos programadores trabajando (menos horas de trabajo), menos energía consumida. (eso debería ser domostrado científicamente, más allá del razonamiento que acabo de hacer.

El sello discográfico Dro EastWest acepta la ideología "Copyleft"
by Marcos Guglielmetti 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

ver: http://www.mastermagazine.info/articulo/11474.php El sello discográfico Dro EastWest acepta la ideología "Copyleft" Por: Marcos Guglielmetti Con unas 320.000 bajadas de sus canciones desde el sitio oficial, el grupo musical "Canteca de Macao" mantuvo siempre una línea ideológica favorable a compartir libremente su música. "Formado por nueve componentes. Canteca de Macao representa el auge de la multiculturalidad nacida y desarrollada en la calle. Su estilo musical se traduce en un batido de ritmos de rumba, ska, reggae y palos de flamenco.", según Emi Music Publishing. Las ideas referentes a liberar los bienes culturales existen desde que existen formas de reprimirlos, pero durante los años que vivimos estas banderas han sido levantadas más que nada por el movimiento mundial del Software Libre, lo cual se ha visto plasmado en cuestiones como la Enciclopedia Libre Wikipedia, los Blogs en base a Wordpress, los programas libres de intercambio de archivos como Bittorrent, eMule o Gtk-Gnutela, y el sistema operativo GNU+Linux, entre otros. Que un gran sello discográfico como DRO EastWest, perteneciente a la multinacional Warner Music International desde 1992 acepte la ideología Copyleft ("izquierdo de copia", en contraposición "derecho de copia" o Copyright), es todo un signo de los tiempos que corren. "Hemos estado un año y medio negociando con casi todas las multinacionales y discográficas independientes de España y, paradójicamente, la mejor oferta que nos ha llegado es la de DRO. Sobre todo es importante que han respetado la ideología del grupo, que es la de querer colgar el disco en la web, y es algo admirable, ya que al fin y al cabo son una empresa que se dedica a vender discos", declaran los integrantes de Canteca de Macao en su sitio web. Me parece realmente importante el razonamiento que ha realizado un usuario de software libre español para explicar el fenómeno: "Tal como está el asunto de la música con el P2P y los nuevos grupos editando en copyleft, las discográficas deberían dejarse de vender "discos" y empezar a vender "valor añadido". Uno abre el grifo y sale agua casi gratis. Aún así, hay compañías que hacen sus buenos dineros vendiendo agua embotellada. ¿Por qué? Porque el agua embotellada tiene un "valor añadido" que no tiene el agua del grifo. De igual manera, las discográficas pueden seguir vendiendo música... pero deben buscar ese "valor añadido" que de verdadero interés a sus productos. Ahí es donde está el negocio. " (Wayfarer) Gracias Norberto Polo Ruiz por hacer llegar la noticia.
