Well, on the one hand, I agree with you about one source of forks being old data, although at least this is a relatively simple fork: those who excise the allegedly-infringing parts of the database, and those who do not.

On the other hand, I think you are completely groundless in your assertion that it can't fork over future changes. There could be multiple patch databases with disjoint changesets in them, with different software using different databases.

And it's not _my_ parable. It's my rephrasing of the FA, and the comments by the FA's author in his own comments thread.

At the risk of sounding facetious: by continuing to work on the features they promised for the last version which they hope will cover the lack of development on the parts people actually enjoy.

The important part of copyright is originality (not creativity). The test would be whether there was more than one way to express the information and whether there was originality in the expression chosen.

A court looking at the copyright status of the timezone database would look for originality in the selection of the identifiers. Why America/New_York and not America/NY or America/NYC or even America/East_Coast? Someone made a decision to choose one form over another so there is originality, hence it is copyrightable. The same applies for other systems such as Dewey Decimal classification or the Getty Thesaurus of Placenames.

That said, it seems the problem is not in the copyright status of the timezone database but in the fact the compilers used copyrighted work to derive their information. The assumption seems to be that makes it a derived work. I'm not so sure about that.

The existence of timezones are uncopyrightable facts. The boundaries of those timezones are uncopyrightable facts. The naming of the timezones is copyrightable by the database compilers not by the atlas owners unless the compilers copied the timezone names from the atlas. Anyone got a copy to check that?
If any other person had founded it, NeXT wouldn't have been acquired by Apple.
You also have the problem of perception: The "mental cost" of having to pay facebook every month 50c is far greater than the financial cost (in this case, the 50c).

I think this was one of the problems flattr.com tried to solve but not successfully. Have a centralised "bank" (eg. flattr) that would collect everyones 50c and then distribute them accordingly. The user purchases credits from the bank and the bank gives money to the providers in a way that keeps the "mental cost" at zero (or minus zero, if you actually feel happy at the end of the month).
I was just about to ask if this was one of your projects.

Your prediction that Apple will not switch to a smaller screen size is illuminating...

The problem as I see it is that for marketing pressure they could switch to 4 inches displays, and the issue showed by the original poster is a bad one for smart users interacting with their device with just one hand (this is at least how I use it and how I see all my friends interacting with it).

Actually the iPhone software keyboard appears to be designed for a good one hand interaction since it works incredibly well even when you think you are putting your thumb in a too wide and imprecise area but actually you end pressing exactly the intended letter.

If there was a reason for the original display to be 3.5" is likely exactly that: the largest screen that is possible to get while preserving one hand interaction and reasonable size for holding it in your pocket.

A brief about Oracle Unified Storage
If you say his diagrams are 'highly misleading', then you should also realize that your counterclaim is equally 'highly misleading' and that it doesn't actually add anything to our understanding of the situation.

He does not claim 'this size was chosen because my thumb is this large'. The blog post suggests: this size is chosen so the device can be used optimally by most of the population and he demonstrates the argument with his own thumb, without claiming it is therefore true.

Now you may very well be unconvinced by the argument and point out that you wonder whether there is any data available to test the suggestion and that it may be coincidental otherwise. However, that does not warrant the statement 'the diagrams are highly misleading'. It warrants 'the diagram may be misleading'.

I would like it very much if HN commenters would appreciate such subtleties and argue "I'm not sure you're right, because ...", instead of "You're wrong, because ...". His argument makes perfect sense and deserves to be recognized as such.

This was not the first time I made a mistake like this. When I was a kid, I had trouble seeing my teacher's blackboard. I just kept moving closer to the blackboard. I saw a doctor when I had trouble understanding what the teacher was writing from the first row.

Until I read this, I had forgotten about my own history of mild myopia: I had a mandatory eye exam at 14, which detected the problem, but I was too vain to tell my parents about it, because I didn't want to wear glasses. 3 years of straining to read the board in class followed (which probably dropped my performance in school significantly). When I turned 17 and wanted to drive, I caved and got glasses and contacts. It was an amazing change in quality of life, and by the time I was 22 I had LASIK.

Thanks for reminding me of this: I'm going to make sure I get my own kids' eyes tested at least annually.

A 3.5 inch screen at that time was already unprecedented.

Supposing that is true: so was a 3.6" screen. Your story does not explain why the 3.5" was initially chosen instead of 3.6".

It's not productive when a commenter completely ignores an argument and instead proposes his own theory, without considering that the arguments need not be mutually exclusive.
I'm all in favor of micropayments, but we also have to keep in mind that if people pay, they could expect more service/customer care.
I don't understand why this troll post hasn't been down voted into the background by now. What Steve did that was so important was he finally started forcing technology to bend to our whims instead of the other way around.

I remember when I finally bought my first Apple anything: a unibody MBP. I had played around with the new mouse pad for hours in various stores before I finally decided I was going to make the switch. For the development I do at home Windows was always the worst platform anyway, so why not. I took the thing home and had everything set up in a way I could use in less than an hour. After never having touched OSX before. When I contrast that with the ~2 days of screwing around I always had with each new windows installation (which had to be repeated per machine for every upgrade and sometimes as normal maintenance!) it was really eye opening.

Then the iPad came out and pushed that even further. Now instead of having a dedicated room with a desktop setting in it, most people can have a magazine sitting on their coffee table that happens to also do everything they needed a computer for. That's a huge step forward and I honestly don't know when we would have ever saw it if Steve didn't show us the way.

He didn't cure cancer but he was a hacker like us who had effects far outside his domain.

One thing I don't see pointed out much is how the iPhone is just about as wide as iPods with a docking connector (dating back to 2003 with the 3rd gen.)

Specifically, the original iPhone was 1.1 mm narrower than iPods, and iPhone 4 is 3.2 mm narrower.
I think his diagrams are misleading because, as far as I can make out, they are based on a particularly small hand size (perhaps a 9 year old child?). By rotating my thumb, and adjusting the angle I hold the device with my fingers, I reckon I can cope with approximately a 6" diagonal screen, and I don't have big hands. For example, I wear small-size male motorcycle gloves, and most of them are still slightly too long in the finger and glove; my girlfriend wears small size female gloves, and they are only slightly too snug for me. On the basis that glove manufacturers have an economic incentive to know the size distribution of their customers' hands, I think it's implausible to say that anything bigger than 3.5" is too big.

Is it only me, or is there something faintly worrying about a comment regarding the logo (which, as pretty as it is, has absolutely nothing to do with the announcement). May I also apologise in advance if I've inadvertantly misunderstood the purpose of the announcement.
Reading the thread, it's surprising how much work is still needed to merge the D frontend (GDC) into the GCC project:

* Assign copyright to the FSF which requires contacting all authors including those who are MIA.

* Update the code to the GCC coding conventions

* Submit for review patches to the GCC core that where shipped with GDC and get them accepted

* Finding a co-maintainer

* Promise to continue to maintain the code

* Implement naked functions attribute

* Convert the testsuite to Dejagnu

* Downgrade the zlib library used by GDC or upgrade the one in GCC

Those are all reasonable requirements from the GCC project, but impose some extra work for the GDC maintainers. Cheers to them for biting the bullet.
If that's all you got out of it, I suggest you reread. The CEO provided new evidence, which is indeed a valid input, that showed that future infringement would be willful. This is simple reasoning.

The make things huge because it sells well.

There's definitively a large market segment for whom the iPhone form factor is too small. Myself included - it was one of the big things that stopped me from getting one; I just can't type on the thing at a reasonable speed.

My HTC Desire HD is more than small enough to fit in my pocket, and rests comfortably in my hand, and I love having a decent sized display and I can actually type on it at a tolerable speed. I could easily handle a device a bit bigger than that with one hand, I might just get one because it reduces the number of situations where the screen is "too small" for it to be nice to use.

I similar version to that would not show willfulness in infringement, just not active investigation of whether one was or not. The criticisms of the system would not in themselves create evidence of willfulness. Given I haven't read the CEO's statements to see whether they are similar to this or not. If they are then this is definitely a problem. If he says something like, "No one reads them, not even the lawyers" then it would still be damning.
