"@COPYLEFT ALL WRONGS RESERVED" *

* Tiny BASIC's distribution notice, June 1976 ( 1 ) It's a second post about licenses and rights and the second post started from a bit of history: the old pirate song, the old distribution notice... It was a new word for me - "copyleft" and it was very interesting first to dig out it's history. It was born as a joke, controversy to "copyright, all rights reserved" in early 1976, before the concept itself. Well, that's all, that was interesting for me. I am aside of this wordings of law and I don't like to swim in this poll. When I was younger, I thought that there are bad things and good things in the world, but in fact there is nothing purely good or purely bad, only gradations... So the concept of copyleft was developed as a good thing to give the right to people to use freedoms of use, study, copy, modify and share with others, but under the same terms, license as the original. So the freeware should stay free, even if y...

Ethics

The last topic of course. I still don't know if I'll proceed the blog or will kill it. The problem is that it is easy to write when the theme is defined, but it is hard to define the theme by myself. What I got from this topic, is more clear vision of some aspects, like open source or definition of hacker society, or rebuilding of my behaviour in net, but still the ethics in common is so unclear...

There are two ways to hide yourself - to hide and be quite or to be in a crowd. I think the same can be said about security risks in IT. Usually we hear about huge attacks, when companies lose a lot of money. Everyone talks about them. Companies send new regulation to workers and so on, and so on... As result we taught to withstand huge and separate attacks on corporations. From the other side, there is a silent enemy, which is everywhere and basically we do nothing with it. It is so common for us to get SPAM messages, calls, offers to invest money into International Corporation of Nothing, promises of huge income, which we can't imagine and wan't see, proposals to install new super-tool and win a lottery, that a part humanity(which more or less educated in IT) don't even react on such mails and calls, while another part is looking for some luck. Therefore the amount of victims grows every year and this evident enemy holds positions. (spam and phishing reports) . ...
