The United States has the 28th-highest rate of deaths from gun violence in the world: 4.43 deaths per 100,000 people in 2017 — far greater than what is seen in other wealthy countries. On a state-by-state calculation, the rates can be even higher. In the District of Columbia, the rate is 16.34 per 100,000 — the highest in the United States. In Louisiana, the rate is 10.68 per 100,000. In Texas and Ohio — the scene of two mass shootings at the beginning of August — the rates are close to the national average: 4.74 per 100,000 in Texas and 4.60 in Ohio. And the national rate of gun violence in the U.S. is higher than in many low-income countries. Those findings are part of the latest version of an annual report on gun violence from the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation , which tracks lives lost in every country, in every year, by every possible cause of death.

mpa Episode 0x09: Copyleft, -or-later, and Basics of Compatibility By faif.us Published On :: Tue, 15 Feb 2011 10:30:00 -0500 Bradley and Karen discuss types of copyleft generally and introduce the basics of license compatibility and -or-later clauses. Show Notes: Segment 0 (00:38) This show discusses copyleft and basic issues of license compatibility (04:09) Karen mentioned an episode of the old Software Freedom Law Show, Episode 0x08, where Bradley and Karen discussed selecting a FLOSS license and what the various options are. (04:45) license compatibility 06:28 Bradley incorrectly said that the original Emacs license didn't have the word General in it. However, the other explanations appear to be correct. There's a useful history page that someone wrote about the history of GPL. It appears the non-general GNU copylefts existed from 1984-1988. (06:57) Karen noted that the Library GPL was renamed to the Lesser GPL which happened in 1999. (09:30) Bradley mentioned that when he and RMS worked on the GNU Classpath Exception, Bradley suggested it be called the Least GPL. (10:38) GPL doesn't have a choice of law clause. If another copyleft does, it surely is incompatible with the GPL. (14:17) AGPLv3 § 13 and GPLv3 § 13 explicitly make themselves compatibility with each other, which Bradley calls compatibility by fiat. (15:40) Karen mentioned that the Mozilla Public License § 13 has a section about multiple licensed code (16:50). Bradley mentioned that Mozilla Firefox uses a combinatorial license: (GPL|LGPL|MPL), which is a disjunctive tri-license. (19:00). Bradley mentioned that the old Software Freedom Law Show Episode 0x17 discussed compatibility of permissively licensed software and copylefted software. (20:22) Apache Software License 2.0 was likely the first FLOSS license to have an explicit patent licensing provision (23:40) Bradley and Karen discussed the fact that -only vs. -or-later are options with the GPL, while they are not with other copylefts, such as CC-By-SA.

(00:17:22) Bradley mentioned that Lennart Poettering is a Red Hat employee working on systemd, which is now in Fedora, but not in RHEL yet (as far as we know). (00:18:53) Bradley suggested that developers starting projects read Karsten Wade's The Open Source Way, and Karl Fogel's Producing Open Source Software: How to Run a Successful Free Software Project, and Bradley's blog post about developing in public. (00:22:16) Dan and Bradley briefly discussed copyright abolition. Dan mentioned Stallman's writing on the Pirate Party's copyright positions. Segment 1 (00:32:30) Bradley briefly discussed the history of StarOffice, and the creation of OpenOffice.org. (00:33:40) Bradley explained issues related to the LibreOffice fork of OpenOffice.org. (00:37:30) Bradley has talked about how proprietary relicensing is very dangerous (00:39:50) Fedora, Ubuntu, and OpenSUSE all switched to LibreOffice as a default. Bradley didn't know at recording time that the OpenOffice package in wheezy is a transition package to switch to LibreOffice. (00:41:24) Bradley and Dan mentioned a blog post by IBM's Rob Weir that misquotes the FSF to support IBM's positions on the OO.o relicensing issue. (00:58:26) Bradley mentioned the idea that Apache-2.0 work can be relicensed under LGPLv3-or-later, as he discussed in his blog post about the OO.o relicensing (01:00:45) Dan mentioned Jeremy Allison's comment on the aforementioned post on Rob Weir's blog. (01:02:08) Segment 2 (01:16:09) Bradley thanked Dan, on behalf of Karen, for all his work to make Free as in Freedom possible. Send feedback and comments on the cast to <oggcast@faif.us>.
