Segment 0 (00:46)

• Bradley didn't want his words compared to the Ayn Rand's quote from an
  interview with Phil Donahue where she said I'm not going to die, it's
  just that world will end. (02:54)
• Bradley discussed the reaction to href="http://faif.us/cast/2012/dec/18/0x36/">on 0x36 that href="http://identi.ca/conversation/97615575">occurred in this identi.ca
  thread. (04:20)
• Bradley and Karen discussed the href="http://lwn.net/Articles/529522/">LWN article, GnuTLS, copyright
  assignment, and GNU project governance. (11:15)
• Bradley pointed out that every other copyleft license allows for
  relicensing under newer versions automatically (i.e., they have an
  automatic -or-later ), and Karen asked whether href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Development_and_Distribution_License">Sun's
  CDDL does. Bradley checked later, Karen was correct that href="http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/download/Main/licensing/cddllicense.txt">CDDL's
  later version clause (Section 4) is similar to the GPL
  policy. (23:00) However, Fontana wrote to us on IRC to say CDDL's license upgradeability clause is not entirely like GPL's. The GPL states that if no version number is specified, any version can be used. CDDL does not say this; it seems to assume that it will always be clear what version CDDL code will be distributed under, whereas GPL seems to assume otherwise.
• Bradley mentioned the href="http://www.h-online.com/open/features/Defence-of-the-GPL-realm-1769121.html">interview
  he did with The H Online on GPL enforcement. (41:57)
