Hi, We are in the business of developing/productizing Multimedia codecs for embedded systems. Recently, Vorbis has gained good popularity. We are also developing it. But we face few problems related to patents. Vorbis claims to be patent free. Is there any particular search made for possible patent infringements and corresponding report published? We need to convince our customers sometime

I'm not looking to start a discussion of the GPL on R-devel; I'm just giving a reference because the subject of the GPL, the license under which R is issued, has been brought up on this list.

The list probably did not get this reply from D Richard Felker III. Having read quite a few patents I tend to agree with Richard: Software patents are very broad and even if I have not read the source code of Theora I would be surprised if it did not infringe several patents. However, I believe the argument that On2 has not been sued for infringing the MPEG-patents is a very strong argument.

Hi radeonhd, nouveau, mesa3d developers, Firstly, thank you all very much for all the important work you do. I've been working as a part-time developer on the "Spring RTS" project (open-source game engine) which runs on linux (and other os). Some time ago I tried the engine on the open-source ATI radeonhd driver, which I understand to be partly based on mesa 3d, and all textures

Does the reason Theora is relatively safe from patent infringement lawsuit have more to do with it actually not being encumbered, or is it because its use is decentralized? For example, FreeType is not patent-free, nor is Linux, yet they succeed because on the one hand, they are open source, and those who maintain them do not guarantee anything regarding patents, it is up to each individual user

Hi Scott, I think that's a good idea and I tried your patch on my copy of the repository. But it looks to me like the recent patch is identical to the previous one, can you confirm this?

It seems like there is a way that is backwards compatible-ish in the sense mentioned and still has the (arguably, but a good argument I think) better behavior: if by.x is 'name', (AND by.y is not also 'name'), then x's 'name' column is called name and y's 'name' column (not used int he merge) is changed to name.y. Now of course this would still change

Hi all, For the record this approach isnt 100% backwards compatible, because names(mergeddf) will e incompatibly different. Thatx why i claimed bakcwards compatable-ish That said its still worth considering imho because of the reasons stated (and honestly one particular simple reading of the docs might suggest that this was thr intended behavior all along). Im not a member of Rcore through so i

The attached patch.diff will make merge.data.frame() append the suffixes to columns with common names between by.x and names(y).

Thanks Martin! Can you clarify the functionality of the 'no.dups' argument so I can change my patch to `data.table:::merge.data.table` accordingly? - When `no.dups=TRUE` will the suffix to the by.x column name? Or will it take the functionality of the second functionality where only the column in y has the suffix added? - When `no.dups=FALSE` will the output be the same as it currently

Moat of the advanced persistent threats (APT) are initiated via e-mail. Opening an attachment or clicking on a web link starts the process. Why isn't Firefox and Evolution confined with SELinux policy in a way that APT can't damage the rest of the system? Why are we not sandboxing these two apps with SELinux? I've discovered some guidance for sandboxing Firefox using the

1) darwine helps linux with enough applications on none-x86 machines. user can drop windows/x86 away. it seems dar wine is a threat. 2) when linux people are used to windows applications on those machines. microsoft claims to compile vista to those machines. microsoft gets the world of those machines . darwine helps microsoft without any thanks from bill gates. what will happen next?
