Memory management and patentsMemory management and patentsPosted Aug 15, 2002 8:16 UTC (Thu) by drooypcom (guest, #3272)In reply to: Memory management and patents by leandro Parent article: Memory management and patents "That could help complete the takeover of the First World by the Third World, which has already been supplying the population deficit of the hedonistic West. Now we would supply technology too." Actually I dont think this would work, at least for the third world. Because sure you could develop and use the Free Linux in the third world, but you could not sell it. In the third world because nobody has any money, in the first world because of the patents. But! This could work for the "second world", in which I include good part of Asia, because there you can sell... That the same old story: the middle class can take over the upper class, become the upper class and some times later the former upper class now middle class can take over the upper class again, in an endless cycle (see Orwell's 1984) but the lower class, the really poor peoples, they cant do that (as a class, but there is still hope for individuals to climb the socila ladder)

Memory management and patents Posted Aug 16, 2002 17:13 UTC (Fri) by cekim (guest, #3295) [Link] Rather than an ongoing class struggle, we are more likely to enter anIP cold war built on the principle of Mutually Assured Destruction: "I won't sue you over your infringement of my red patent if you won't Alas, the Green patent was GPL'd so no one gets to color TV... I am all for IP in principle, but something has to give in the US as I am expecting a patent on "Human Oxygen Intake" any day now...

Intellectual property doesn't exist... neither copyrights nor patents are property, but a state concession of an artificial monopoly.

It is free software, no need to sell. You just operate it, do services, learn, whatever. Take a scrap [34]86 and run you backyard business on it.

It is precisely about a distopic future where society is fossilized by "the party"
