Setting up some sort of tax-exempt organization (similar to the FSF) may be useful here. I don't mind chipping in my £1 worth, but getting a tax deduction at the same time would persuade more people to donate, I think.

Doesn't the GPL license forbid the codec from being incorporated in commercial products? Or at least have to provide their source for free? If this is the case then I doubt commercial game makers will be interested. Maybe the licence could be changed to allow the decoder to be incorporated in commercial products providing they pay a minimal amount and/or be forced to advertise the fact that

AutoDesk now offers a free 15 day demo CD of AutoCad. I hope some of the talanted wine developers take the opportunity to get the CD and try to get it to work. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/item/0,,616392-123112,00.html In my opinion there are two windows application that are more important than others and that is AutoCad and Quark express.

Has anyone tested AutoCad 2000 with any recent wine ? Once upon a time I got Autocad R13 to work, only toolbars and screenrefresh was not working to 100%, then it broke completely, and 10 months ago when I tested with AutoCad 2000 it was still broken. Has anyone done any testing recently ? AutoCad and Quark express are two very important pieces of software for wine, since they both lack

In Windows explorer the computer (Penguin) and share (Ring) show up, but when I try to access the share, I get the following message: \\Penguin\Ring is not accessible The share name was not found.

Here in Mexico there are several programs in common use for complying with social security and tax laws. The one for social security, SUA is universal. After searching in Wine's program list, I couldn't find information for any of these programs.

Hello Ivo: One more from me and I suppose a retort by you and that's it ... no flame war please. Let's see if we can keep this discussion objective. I've had enough life experience to have seen and heard the mistakes you've made many times. Point by point: * This is a tech list that I joined a number of years ago because of a serious intent to use the Speex product in my

Hello all, For decades, the NUT project ran without any formal entity or a "money purse" of its own. This proved to be a somewhat limiting factor, since paid services like DNS have to be covered by maintainers (as in ancient times, when city celebrations were paid by randomly elected officials personally), and some other services like hosting for the NUT CI farm have to be solicited

FYI Brian Fertig Treasury disconnects tax on long-distance calls WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The brief Spanish-American War ended more than a century ago, but not the federal tax assessed to fund the victory. Until now. On Thursday, the U.S. Treasury said it would stop collecting the 3% federal excise tax on long-distance calls, a fee originally assessed in 1898. The government also said it

As approximately 130 million other US citizens, I am dutifully preparing for the April deadline for filing my income tax returns. Reviewing the WINE AppDB for installable tax software to help out in the process, it appeared that 2nd Story Software's TAX ACT was most likely to work with the WINE version (1.1.17) installed on my Mandriva-equipped HP laptop. As it turned out, TAX ACT was able
