OSCON The Open Source Initiative (OSI) shocked the world today by approving a "badgeware" style license.
Members of the OSI board, speaking here at OSCON, announced that Socialtext's Common Public Attribution License (CPAL) received its blessing this morning. The license proves similar to non-OSI approved badgeware or attribution licenses used by numerous open source companies. Some leaders of the OSI have been attacking companies such as Sugar CRM and CentricCRM for claiming to be "open source" companies despite relying on the unapproved attribution licenses.
"We have been at this for more than nine months," Ross Mayfield, CEO and cofounder of enterprise Wiki maker Socialtext, told us in an interview. "We have taken the legal hit, and the reputation hit. I don't want to be too proud that we won out in the end, but we did."
The so-called badgeware licenses have proved tricky, as many open source purists fear they will result in the egregious display of logos and other celebratory material. Such licenses ask that users of open source products make the origins of their code clear.
This is, in some ways, a reaction to companies that use large amounts of open source code on their servers without disclosing this use or returning code changes to the open source community. Such companies claim that they're not obligated to return code changes because they're simply delivering a service to customers - not redistributing the code for commercial use.
Under the attribution-style licenses, code users must display a logo representing the original developer or pay the developer a fee.
The new CPAL should provide a way for CentricCRM and others to modify such licenses slightly and gain OSI approval.
The OSI has yet to release the new license language, at the time of this report, although a draft version can be seen here. We've viewed a final version of the license and very little has changed.
"As a modest attribution to the organizer of the development of the Original Code ("Original Developer"), in the hope that its promotional value may help justify the time, money and effort invested in writing the Original Code, the Original Developer may include in Exhibit B ("Attribution Notice") a requirement that each time an Executable and Source Code or a Larger Work is launched or run, a prominent display of the Original Developer's Attribution Information (as defined below) must occur on the graphic user interface (which may include display on a splash screen), if any," the license reads.
Only companies relying on graphical user interfaces must worry about the attribution clause.
Also of note is the "network use" or "external deployment" clause.
"The term 'External Deployment' means the use, distribution, or communication of the Original Code or Modifications in any way such that the Original Code or Modifications may be used by anyone other than You, whether those works are distributed or communicated to those persons or made available as an application intended for use over a network."
That could be a major blow for service providers if it gains wide adoption. Google's open source guru Chris DiBona, however, told us that Google will just make its own code when needed to get around clauses similar to these.
"We have enough engineering resources that, if the license has obligations we are not interested in, we can just not use it," he said.
OSI president and Red Hat executive Michael Tiemann has been the most outspoken critic of the broad use of badgeware licenses. He's pushed the position that companies claiming to be open source software makers while not using an OSI-approved license threaten to undermine the value of the open source brand.
The CPAL license seems to put some of these concerns to rest. For example, companies such as SugarCRM are looking at replacing their own attribution licenses with CPAL, SugarCRM CEO John Roberts told us.
In addition, we'll see if the badgeware fears of logos-logos-everywhere will be realized.
"Now, we have an opportunity to test out in the market if those nightmares are actually real," Mayfield said. ®

37,532 | dbosson | 2007-07-30T00:53:54 | Maybe we should start thinking of Youtube as just one channel. | As video moves from TV to the internet it is silly to think that any one website can handle all the content, even if that one website is owned by Google. On TV there is not one channel for every show; there are many channels that focus on certain types of shows. The internet should be the same. There should be many websites that focus on specific types of shows, and there should be one directory that lists all these websites. <p>This is just a fringe thought, but imagine if a company builds an application that lets all the major media companies have their own website, where they can show whatever shows they want. And all this application does is tie all the video websites together. <p>Kind of like how Yahoo listed all the cool websites, this application could list all the cool video websites [in an interactive way].

TheFunded.com, a forum that lets entrepreneurs dish dirt publicly about venture capitalists, has taken another step toward accommodating the VCs.
The site now lets VCs provide feedback on any public comment made about their firm. Initially, TheFunded had banned VCs from commenting. Recently, it relaxed that stance, letting VCs provide comments on other funds, but not on their own. This latest, second step is an effort to get VCs engaged with the site.
However, it is still causing angst among VCs. The image above is the headline of a recent comment left by an entrepreneur about Sequoia.
There’s a condition imposed on VCs wanting to leave responses to comments: They must have a “certified profile.” To have a certified profile, a firm must provide the TheFunded with certain data about itself, such as an overview of its focus, names of its partners, and so on.
In addition, comments can only be left in response to other public comments. The “eat their own young” comment happens to be private, and so Sequoia can not respond. It’s not clear which comments are left public, and which ones private.
The recent move to let VCs respond to public comments was inspired by Draper Richards’ Howard Hartenbaum, who pushed TheFunded to introduce the feature, says TheFunded’s founder, who says he wants to remain anonymous for now, but lets us call him “Ted.”
He said Sequoia, one of the top venture firms, is playing along. Sequoia’s public relations person Mark Dempster engaged in a series of emails looking for ways to let Sequoia solicit feedback and respond to the comments being left, Ted said. We contacted Dempster last week for comment, but he did not respond. Sequoia has provided the data necessary to certify itself. Here’s Sequoia’s profile.
Below is a screenshot of the first couple of comments when we looked on Thursday. You’ll see that both of these headlines are public, but that the specific comments are accessible only by members only. Membership is free for all CEOs and founders. Entrepreneur “advisers” and “lower level managers” can pay for access. VCs don’t get access.
It’s surprising that Sequoia would choose to play along with this site. (See our disclosure about possible conflict here.)

This is the first in my series called the 10 Commandments of Supporting Your Family. These are in no particular order of importance and have yet to be carved on stone tablets. But if they ever do show up in tablet form you better believe I’m gonna smash them up Moses-style!
The First Commandment: To Support a Family You Need a Support System
Recovering alcoholics are really onto something. They’ve discovered over at AA that they can accomplish more with a support group in place than they can working individually. Their struggle with addiction seems a lot more manageable knowing that they’re not alone in their struggle. They have a small community of people facing similar circumstances and these people will also hold them accountable for their actions.
So where’s the support group for those of us who support our families? Where are the Mom and Dad support groups? And what should these support groups even look like?
I set this blog up for people like me: parents who are reinventing the role of parenthood and approach it all in a revolutionary new way. There are certain things we can learn from our parents but, let’s face it, most of the rules we are making up as we go. And reinventing parenthood is not for the faint of heart, we need support.
Past generations have had their extended family as their support systems. They’ve spent their whole lives in the same community and the support is built-in. There were babysitters, fellow parents to compare notes with and a professional community to network within. The problem us new parents are facing is we don’t live in the communities we grew up in. We have moved off to make our own way in the world and therefore have to start from scratch.
Just as we’ve chosen to make our own rules for our families, we also have to build our own network of support. The good news is we aren’t the only ones looking to build a support system. Like-minded folks are all around us and we just need to reach out.
I’ve seen a pattern lately with my fellow baby-daddies. These are dads who are young, dedicated and who absolutely refuse to grow up. We’ve done a lot to hold onto our youth in spite of our new parental responsibilities but we’re having trouble identifying with our old friends. A dad I spoke to yesterday is finding it increasingly difficult to have a conversation with his old buddies. They call him up, tell him how trashed they got last night and then ask him what he’s been up to. What did he do last night?
He got home from work
Read the kids stories in bed
Fell asleep before David Letterman’s monologue
What could they possibly have in common now? We may still listen to the same music but we’ve changed our schedules and our priorities.
I’m working on my own solution right now. Me and a couple of other dads are going to start a happy hour and my ultimate goal is to form a sort of dad collective from it where we combine our resources, skills and experience to benefit the group as a whole. The recovering alcoholics have AA and us dads are going to have SSS.
If you’re a dad in the Austin area who’s interested or you just want to know what SSS stands for then contact me.

37,720 | palish | 2007-07-30T18:21:36 | Deploying on EC2 + S3 | Hello all,<p>I have a little side project I'm getting ready to launch. It's a Rails app using MySQL (though database choice doesn't matter, since it's Rails). I'm considering launching the app purely on S3 + EC2. The idea is, the code will live in S3 by using the S3 filesystem component. I can develop locally and deploy via Capistrano when I push out a new release. The code is then deployed to S3 and the EC2 instance restarts.<p>I'm wondering if this is even viable. Has anyone else that you know of done it? <p>For the database, I have two options. I could either leave the database on the EC2 instance and back it up nightly and never restart the instance (since data only disappears if you restart the instance or due to a hardware failure). The advantage there is database queries are most likely much faster, since it doesn't have to hit the network for each new database query. The disadvantage is, the data may disappear at the drop of a hat, and then it's backup-restore time. The other option is keeping the database in S3, which seems totally secure but might be slow for queries. I'll, of course, be using memcached and other caching mechanisms, but database load seems like it could still play a part.<p>What d'you think, would you launch on EC2 + S3?<p> | 17 | 27 | [

By David Heinemeier Hansson on July 30, 2007
We've just passed the three year anniversary of Ruby on Rails' first release to the public. Which in turn means that I've been working on the framework for more than four years. Wild.
It's been an incredibly rewarding experience. I've met so many great people. Worked with so many talented programmers. Seen so many amazing sites and applications be launched off Rails.
To image that this whirlwind tour all started because I wasn't happy working with the mainstream environments and decided to give Ruby a try. And to image the impact Ruby on Rails have had on the industry with none of the big-company backing that traditionally is needed to make waves there.
What's even more rewarding is knowing that we're not done. That the work to make web-application development ever more pleasant continues every day.
We might have taken the pace of radical changes in the core framework down a few notches (remember when we did multiple releases per month?), but the steady stream of improvement and refinement continues relentlessly.
So cheers, Rails.
