02:46.42 juub right!
02:46.51 brlcad :)
02:51.06 juub how's it going?
03:06.08 juub that's great.
03:06.27 brlcad :)
03:06.37 brlcad going great indeed
03:07.54 starseeker glowers at Ogre and installs FreeImage...
03:08.24 juub careful, those ogres can be dangerous. You might end up in an animated, blockbuster, film.
03:09.07 starseeker what's the point in licensing MIT if you require a GPL image library??
03:09.21 juub lol
03:09.41 juub well, since it's MIT you can make it depend on a non-GPL image library with a lot of fussing.
03:09.47 juub s/fussing/rewriting/
03:09.52 starseeker sighs
03:09.58 starseeker yeah, I suppose
03:11.08 starseeker checks to see if openscenegraph has any such issues...
04:08.10 starseeker notes his mouse events are a bit too enthused about setting x,y coordinates...
04:12.02 brlcad starseeker: not particularly happy about freeimage either, but their reasoning is probably because it's dual-licensed
04:13.01 brlcad their FIPL license seems to be compatible
04:13.47 starseeker oh, with LGPL?
04:13.48 brlcad reads a lot like LGPLv3 or a super-verbose MIT license with extra language defining terms and talking about patents
04:13.51 starseeker hasn't read...
04:14.01 starseeker nods
04:14.54 brlcad at least that seems to be their intent
04:15.23 starseeker we'll have to give that a careful read if/when we actually get something up and running with Ogre
04:15.46 starseeker apparently it's not optional in any serious sense (Ogitor appears to crash without it)
04:15.56 brlcad since the license is so verbose, I wouldn't be surprised if there were ways to nitpick a potential flaw or two, especially without OSI vetting
04:16.07 brlcad they list it as a core dependency now
04:16.45 brlcad don't remember if they used DevIL before
04:17.41 starseeker yes, I believe I saw that listed as an option earlier
04:18.01 starseeker this'll be peachy - IIRC gentoo booted freeimage out of portage
04:18.16 brlcad yeah, devil
04:19.40 starseeker and I can't even BUILD with freeimage installed
04:20.49 starseeker wait, new freeimage ebuild...
04:20.51 starseeker tries that
04:28.14 starseeker ``Erik: this looks like something you might enjoy: http://password-taxi.at/EQL
04:36.17 starseeker ok, ogre built with the gentoo ebuild freeimage... good...
04:44.50 brlcad interesting, they dropped DevIL because it's now incompatible with their license
04:45.05 brlcad they were LGPL (and DevIL is LGPL), but are now MIT
04:53.33 starseeker The implication being that FIPL is compatible... wow, they're relying a non-OSI license with GPL as the alternative. Eek
04:56.17 starseeker gives up commenting out Ogitor build errors for the night...

13:52.05 CIA-40 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * r39573 10/brlcad/trunk/src/adrt/librender/ (camera.c camera.h): seperate fov (for perspective) and grid size (for ortho) instead of overloading a single variable
14:00.09 CIA-40 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * r39574 10/isst/trunk/sdl/ (event.c main.c): add ortho mode, "o" toggles
14:13.02 CIA-40 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * r39575 10/isst/trunk/gtk/ (gui.c local_worker.c): use gridsize stuff. ortho mapping and shotline now seem to work correctly

14:45.58 juub g'morning
14:48.36 brlcad howdy
14:50.12 juub how're you?
14:50.34 juub what did you mean above by "OSI"? I've only heard it used in the networking context...
14:54.30 ``Erik open source initiative
14:54.57 ``Erik http://www.opensource.org/licenses
15:00.40 juub ah, thanks
15:01.25 juub humph, I already have that paged bookmarked :/ Shoulda made the connection.
15:01.33 juub blames the morning.
15:17.56 brlcad OSI provides a clear definition of open source and has lawyers to review licenses to determine whether they fit the definition or not
15:19.14 brlcad a license that they won't approve either has clauses that aren't in the spirit of open source, have bad/ambiguous language, or is completely redundant with another license (among other things)
15:19.46 brlcad good gatekeepers of the definition without a free software bias
15:28.27 juub nods
