-               <description>&lt;p&gt;If you ever had to moderate a mailman list, like the ones on
-alioth.debian.org, you know the web interface is fairly slow to
-operate.  First you visit one web page, enter the moderation password
-and get a new page shown with a list of all the messages to moderate
-and various options for each email address.  This take a while for
-every list you moderate, and you need to do it regularly to do a good
-job as a list moderator.  But there is a quick alternative,
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://heim.ifi.uio.no/kjetilho/hacks/#listadmin&quot;&gt;the
-listadmin program&lt;/a&gt;.  It allow you to check lists for new messages
-to moderate in a fraction of a second.  Here is a test run on two
-lists I recently took over:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-% time listadmin xiph
-fetching data for pkg-xiph-commits@lists.alioth.debian.org ... nothing in queue
-fetching data for pkg-xiph-maint@lists.alioth.debian.org ... nothing in queue
-
-real    0m1.709s
-user    0m0.232s
-sys     0m0.012s
-%
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;In 1.7 seconds I had checked two mailing lists and confirmed that
-there are no message in the moderation queue.  Every morning I
-currently moderate 68 mailman lists, and it normally take around two
-minutes.  When I took over the two pkg-xiph lists above a few days
-ago, there were 400 emails waiting in the moderator queue.  It took me
-less than 15 minutes to process them all using the listadmin
-program.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you install
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/listadmin&quot;&gt;the listadmin
-package&lt;/a&gt; from Debian and create a file &lt;tt&gt;~/.listadmin.ini&lt;/tt&gt;
-with content like this, the moderation task is a breeze:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-username@example.org
-spamlevel 23
-default discard
-discard_if_reason &quot;Posting restricted to members only. Remove us from your mail list.&quot;
-
-password secret
-adminurl https://{domain}/mailman/admindb/{list}
-mailman-list@lists.example.com
-
-password hidden
-other-list@otherserver.example.org
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;There are other options to set as well.  Check the manual page to
-learn the details.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you are forced to moderate lists on a mailman installation where
-the SSL certificate is self signed or not properly signed by a
-generally accepted signing authority, you can set a environment
-variable when calling listadmin to disable SSL verification:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME=0 listadmin
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you want to moderate a subset of the lists you take care of, you
-can provide an argument to the listadmin script like I do in the
-initial screen dump (the xiph argument).  Using an argument, only
-lists matching the argument string will be processed.  This make it
-quick to accept messages if you notice the moderation request in your
-email.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Without the listadmin program, I would never be the moderator of 68
-mailing lists, as I simply do not have time to spend on that if the
-process was any slower. The listadmin program have saved me hours of
-time I could spend elsewhere over the years.  It truly is nice free
-software.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;As usual, if you use Bitcoin and want to show your support of my
-activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address
-&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&amp;label=PetterReinholdtsenBlog&quot;&gt;15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Today, finally, my first printed draft edition of the Norwegian
+translation of Free Culture I have been working on for the last few
+years arrived in the mail.  I had to fake a cover to get the interior
+printed, and the exterior of the book look awful, but that is
+irrelevant at this point.  I asked for a printed pocket book version
+to get an idea about the font sizes and paper format as well as how
+good the figures and images look in print, but also to test what the
+pocket book version would look like.  After receiving the 500 page
+pocket book, it became obvious to me that that pocket book size is too
+small for this book.  I believe the book is too thick, and several
+tables and figures do not look good in the size they get with that
+small page sizes.  I believe I will go with the 5.5x8.5 inch size
+instead.  A surprise discovery from the paper version was how bad the
+URLs look in print.  They are very hard to read in the colophon page.
+The URLs are red in the PDF, but light gray on paper.  I need to
+change the color of links somehow to look better.  But there is a
+printed book in my hand, and it feels great. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Now I only need to fix the cover, wrap up the postscript with the
+store behind the book, and collect the last corrections from the proof
+readers before the book is ready for proper printing.  Cover artists
+willing to work for free and create a Creative Commons licensed vector
+file looking similar to the original is most welcome, as my skills as
+a graphics designer are mostly missing.&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Sun, 9 Aug 2015 10:15:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Typesetting a book is harder than I hoped.  As the translation is
+mostly done, and a volunteer proof reader was going to check the text
+on paper, it was time this summer to focus on formatting my translated
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; based version of the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; book by Lawrence
+Lessig.  I&#39;ve been trying to get both docboox-xsl+fop and dblatex to
+give me a good looking PDF, but in the end I went with dblatex, because
+its Debian maintainer and upstream developer were responsive and very
+helpful in solving my formatting challenges.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Last night, I finally managed to create a PDF that no longer made
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/&quot;&gt;Lulu.com&lt;/a&gt; complain after uploading,
+and I ordered a text version of the book on paper.  It is lacking a
+proper book cover and is not tagged with the correct ISBN number, but
+should give me an idea what the finished book will look like.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Instead of using Lulu, I did consider printing the book using
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.createspace.com/&quot;&gt;CreateSpace&lt;/a&gt;, but ended up
+using Lulu because it had smaller book size options (CreateSpace seem
+to lack pocket book with extended distribution).  I looked for a
+similar service in Norway, but have not seen anything so far.  Please
+let me know if I am missing out on something here.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;But I still struggle to decide the book size.  Should I go for
+pocket book (4.25x6.875 inches / 10.8x17.5 cm) with 556 pages, Digest
+(5.5x8.5 inches / 14x21.6 cm) with 323 pages or US Trade (6x8 inches /
+15.3x22.9 cm) with 280 pages?  Fewer pager give a cheaper book, and a
+smaller book is easier to carry around.  The test book I ordered was
+pocket book sized, to give me an idea how well that fit in my hand,
+but I suspect I will end up using a digest sized book in the end to
+bring the prize down further.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My biggest challenge at the moment is making nice cover art.  My
+inkscape skills are not yet up to the task of replicating the original
+cover in SVG format.  I also need to figure out what to write about
+the book on the back (will most likely use the same text as the
+description on web based book stores).  I would love help with this,
+if you are willing to license the art source and final version using
+the same CC license as the book.  My artistic skills are not really up
+to the task.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I plan to publish the book in both English and Norwegian and on
+paper, in PDF form as well as EPUB and MOBI format.  The current
+status can as usual be found on
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;
+in the archive/ directory.  So far I have spent all time on making the
+PDF version look good.  Someone should probably do the same with the
+dbtoepub generated e-book.  Help is definitely needed here, as I
+expect to run out of steem before I find time to improve the epub
+formatting.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Please let me know via github if you find typos in the book or
+discover translations that should be improved.  The final proof
+reading is being done right now, and I expect to publish the finished
+result in a few months.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <title>Debian Jessie, PXE and automatic firmware installation</title>
-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Jessie__PXE_and_automatic_firmware_installation.html</link>
-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Jessie__PXE_and_automatic_firmware_installation.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Fri, 17 Oct 2014 14:10:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;When PXE installing laptops with Debian, I often run into the
-problem that the WiFi card require some firmware to work properly.
-And it has been a pain to fix this using preseeding in Debian.
-Normally something more is needed.  But thanks to
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://packages.qa.debian.org/i/isenkram.html&quot;&gt;my isenkram
-package&lt;/a&gt; and its recent tasksel extension, it has now become easy
-to do this using simple preseeding.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The isenkram-cli package provide tasksel tasks which will install
-firmware for the hardware found in the machine (actually, requested by
-the kernel modules for the hardware).  (It can also install user space
-programs supporting the hardware detected, but that is not the focus
-of this story.)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;To get this working in the default installation, two preeseding
-values are needed.  First, the isenkram-cli package must be installed
-into the target chroot (aka the hard drive) before tasksel is executed
-in the pkgsel step of the debian-installer system.  This is done by
-preseeding the base-installer/includes debconf value to include the
-isenkram-cli package.  The package name is next passed to debootstrap
-for installation.  With the isenkram-cli package in place, tasksel
-will automatically use the isenkram tasks to detect hardware specific
-packages for the machine being installed and install them, because
-isenkram-cli contain tasksel tasks.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Second, one need to enable the non-free APT repository, because
-most firmware unfortunately is non-free.  This is done by preseeding
-the apt-mirror-setup step.  This is unfortunate, but for a lot of
-hardware it is the only option in Debian.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The end result is two lines needed in your preseeding file to get
-firmware installed automatically by the installer:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-base-installer base-installer/includes string isenkram-cli
-apt-mirror-setup apt-setup/non-free boolean true
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The current version of isenkram-cli in testing/jessie will install
-both firmware and user space packages when using this method.  It also
-do not work well, so use version 0.15 or later.  Installing both
-firmware and user space packages might give you a bit more than you
-want, so I decided to split the tasksel task in two, one for firmware
-and one for user space programs.  The firmware task is enabled by
-default, while the one for user space programs is not.  This split is
-implemented in the package currently in unstable.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you decide to give this a go, please let me know (via email) how
-this recipe work for you. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;So, I bet you are wondering, how can this work.  First and
-foremost, it work because tasksel is modular, and driven by whatever
-files it find in /usr/lib/tasksel/ and /usr/share/tasksel/.  So the
-isenkram-cli package place two files for tasksel to find.  First there
-is the task description file (/usr/share/tasksel/descs/isenkram.desc):&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-Task: isenkram-packages
-Section: hardware
-Description: Hardware specific packages (autodetected by isenkram)
- Based on the detected hardware various hardware specific packages are
- proposed.
-Test-new-install: show show
-Relevance: 8
-Packages: for-current-hardware
-
-Task: isenkram-firmware
-Section: hardware
-Description: Hardware specific firmware packages (autodetected by isenkram)
- Based on the detected hardware various hardware specific firmware
- packages are proposed.
-Test-new-install: mark show
-Relevance: 8
-Packages: for-current-hardware-firmware
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The key parts are Test-new-install which indicate how the task
-should be handled and the Packages line referencing to a script in
-/usr/lib/tasksel/packages/.  The scripts use other scripts to get a
-list of packages to install.  The for-current-hardware-firmware script
-look like this to list relevant firmware for the machine:
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-#!/bin/sh
-#
-PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH
-export PATH
-isenkram-autoinstall-firmware -l
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;With those two pieces in place, the firmware is installed by
-tasksel during the normal d-i run. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you want to test what tasksel will install when isenkram-cli is
-installed, run &lt;tt&gt;DEBIAN_PRIORITY=critical tasksel --test
---new-install&lt;/tt&gt; to get the list of packages that tasksel would
-install.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu&lt;/a&gt; will be
-pilots in testing this feature, as isenkram is used there now to
-install firmware, replacing the earlier scripts.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m still working on the Norwegian version of the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture book by Lawrence
+Lessig&lt;/a&gt;, and is now working on the final typesetting and layout.
+One of the features I want to get the structure similar to the
+original book is to typeset the footnotes as endnotes in the notes
+chapter.  Based on the
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/685063&quot;&gt;feedback from the Debian
+maintainer and the dblatex developer&lt;/a&gt;, I came up with this recipe I
+would like to share with you.  The proposal was to create a new LaTeX
+class file and add the LaTeX code there, but this is not always
+practical, when I want to be able to replace the class using a make
+file variable.  So my proposal misuses the latex.begindocument XSL
+parameter value, to get a small fragment into the correct location in
+the generated LaTeX File.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;First, decide where in the DocBook document to place the endnotes,
+and add this text there:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+&amp;lt;?latex \theendnotes ?&amp;gt;
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Next, create a xsl stylesheet file dblatex-endnotes.xsl to add the
+code needed to add the endnote instructions in the preamble of the
+generated LaTeX document, with content like this:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+&amp;lt;?xml version=&#39;1.0&#39;?&amp;gt;
+&amp;lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot; version=&#39;1.0&#39;&amp;gt;
+  &amp;lt;xsl:param name=&quot;latex.begindocument&quot;&amp;gt;
+    &amp;lt;xsl:text&amp;gt;
+\usepackage{endnotes}
+\let\footnote=\endnote
+\def\enoteheading{\mbox{}\par\vskip-\baselineskip }
+\begin{document}
+    &amp;lt;/xsl:text&amp;gt;
+  &amp;lt;/xsl:param&amp;gt;
+&amp;lt;/xsl:stylesheet&amp;gt;
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Finally, load this xsl file when running dblatex, for example like
+this:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+dblatex --xsl-user=dblatex-endnotes.xsl freeculture.nb.xml
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The end result can be seen on github, where
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;my
+book project&lt;/a&gt; is located.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Today I came across an unexpected Ubuntu boot screen.  Above the
-bread shelf on the ICA shop at Storo in Oslo, the grub menu of Ubuntu
-with Linux kernel 3.2.0-23 (ie probably version 12.04 LTS) was stuck
-on a screen normally showing the bread types and prizes:&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;If it had booted as it was supposed to, I would never had known
-about this hidden Linux installation.  It is interesting what

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I går fikk vi endelig lansert en norsk version av mySocietys
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/&quot;&gt;WhatDoTheyKnow&lt;/a&gt;.
+Tjenesten heter Mimes brønn, og ble
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/news/NUUG_lanserer_innsynstjenesten_Mimes_Br_nn.shtml&quot;&gt;annonsert
+av NUUG&lt;/a&gt; via blogg, epost og twitter til NUUG-assosierte personer.
+Det har tatt noen år, men de siste dagene fikk vi endelig tid til å få
+på plass de siste bitene.  Vi er to, Gorm og meg selv, som har vært
+primus motor for det hele, men vi har fått hjelp med oversettelser og
+oppsett fra mange flere.  Jeg vil si tusen takk til hver og en av dem,
+og er veldig fornøyd med at vi klarte å få tjenesten opp å kjøre før
+ferietiden slo inn for fullt.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Vi er usikker på hvor mye belastning den virtuelle maskinen der
+tjenesten kjører klarer, så vi har lansert litt i det stille og ikke
+til for mange folk for å se hvordan maskinen klarer seg over sommeren,
+før vi går mer aktivt ut og annonserer til høsten.  Ta en titt, og se
+om du kanskje har et spørsmål til det offentlige som er egnet å sende
+inn via Mimes brønn.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Hvis du lurer på hva i alle dager en slik tjenestes kan brukes til,
+anbefaler jeg deg å se
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.no/video/625321&quot;&gt;TED-foredraget til
+Heather Brook&lt;/a&gt; om hvordan hun brukte WhatDoTheyKnow til å lære
+hvordan offentlige midler ble misbrukt.  Det er en inspirerende

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;After asking the Norwegian Broadcasting Company (NRK)
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hva_gj_r_at_NRK_kan_distribuere_H_264_video_uten_patentavtale_med_MPEG_LA_.html&quot;&gt;why
+they can broadcast and stream H.264 video without an agreement with
+the MPEG LA&lt;/a&gt;, I was wiser, but still confused.  So I asked MPEG LA
+if their understanding matched that of NRK.  As far as I can tell, it
+does not.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I started by asking for more information about the various
+licensing classes and what exactly is covered by the &quot;Internet
+Broadcast AVC Video&quot; class that NRK pointed me at to explain why NRK
+did not need a license for streaming H.264 video:

 
 

-&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;According to
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpegla.com/Lists/MPEG%20LA%20News%20List/Attachments/226/n-10-02-02.pdf&quot;&gt;a
+MPEG LA press release dated 2010-02-02&lt;/a&gt;, there is no charge when
+using MPEG AVC/H.264 according to the terms of &quot;Internet Broadcast AVC
+Video&quot;.  I am trying to understand exactly what the terms of &quot;Internet
+Broadcast AVC Video&quot; is, and wondered if you could help me.  What
+exactly is covered by these terms, and what is not?&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

- &lt;li&gt;Ignore &#39;phantom&#39; audio, subtitle tracks&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Check for garbage in the program chains, which indicate that a track is
-   non-existant, to work around additional copy protection&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Fix displaying content type for audio tracks, subtitles&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Fix pallete display of first entry&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Fix include orders&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Ignore read errors in titles that would not be displayed anyway&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Fix the chapter count&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Make sure the array size and the array limit used when initialising
-   the palette size is the same.&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Fix array printing.&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Correct subsecond calculations.&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Add sector information to the output format.&lt;/li&gt;
- &lt;li&gt;Clean up code to be closer to ANSI C and compile without warnings
-   with more GCC compiler warnings.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The only source of more information I have been able to find is a
+PDF named
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/avc/Documents/avcweb.pdf&quot;&gt;AVC
+Patent Portfolio License Briefing&lt;/a&gt;, which states this about the
+fees:&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

+&lt;ul&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Where End User pays for AVC Video
+  &lt;ul&gt;
+   &lt;li&gt;Subscription (not limited by title) – 100,000 or fewer
+     subscribers/yr = no royalty; &amp;gt; 100,000 to 250,000 subscribers/yr =
+     $25,000; &amp;gt;250,000 to 500,000 subscribers/yr = $50,000; &amp;gt;500,000 to
+     1M subscribers/yr = $75,000; &amp;gt;1M subscribers/yr = $100,000&lt;/li&gt;
+
+   &lt;li&gt;Title-by-Title - 12 minutes or less = no royalty; &amp;gt;12 minutes in
+     length = lower of (a) 2% or (b) $0.02 per title&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+
+ &lt;li&gt;Where remuneration is from other sources
+  &lt;ul&gt;
+   &lt;li&gt;Free Television - (a) one-time $2,500 per transmission encoder or
+     (b) annual fee starting at $2,500 for &amp;gt; 100,000 HH rising to
+     maximum $10,000 for &amp;gt;1,000,000 HH&lt;/li&gt;
+
+   &lt;li&gt;Internet Broadcast AVC Video (not title-by-title, not subscription)
+     – no royalty for life of the AVC Patent Portfolio License&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

 &lt;/ul&gt;
 
 &lt;/ul&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;This change bring together patches for lsdvd in use in various
-Linux and Unix distributions, as well as patches submitted to the
-project the last nine years.  Please check it out. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Am I correct in assuming that the four categories listed is the
+categories used when selecting licensing terms, and that &quot;Internet
+Broadcast AVC Video&quot; is the category for things that do not fall into
+one of the other three categories?  Can you point me to a good source
+explaining what is ment by &quot;title-by-title&quot; and &quot;Free Television&quot; in
+the license terms for AVC/H.264?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Will a web service providing H.264 encoded video content in a
+&quot;video on demand&quot; fashing similar to Youtube and Vimeo, where no
+subscription is required and no payment is required from end users to
+get access to the videos, fall under the terms of the &quot;Internet
+Broadcast AVC Video&quot;, ie no royalty for life of the AVC Patent
+Portfolio license?  Does it matter if some users are subscribed to get
+access to personalized services?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Note, this request and all answers will be published on the
+Internet.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The answer came quickly from Benjamin J. Myers, Licensing Associate
+with the MPEG LA:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your message and for your interest in MPEG LA.  We
+appreciate hearing from you and I will be happy to assist you.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;As you are aware, MPEG LA offers our AVC Patent Portfolio License
+which provides coverage under patents that are essential for use of
+the AVC/H.264 Standard (MPEG-4 Part 10).  Specifically, coverage is
+provided for end products and video content that make use of AVC/H.264
+technology.  Accordingly, the party offering such end products and
+video to End Users concludes the AVC License and is responsible for
+paying the applicable royalties.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Regarding Internet Broadcast AVC Video, the AVC License generally
+defines such content to be video that is distributed to End Users over
+the Internet free-of-charge.  Therefore, if a party offers a service
+which allows users to upload AVC/H.264 video to its website, and such
+AVC Video is delivered to End Users for free, then such video would
+receive coverage under the sublicense for Internet Broadcast AVC
+Video, which is not subject to any royalties for the life of the AVC
+License.  This would also apply in the scenario where a user creates a
+free online account in order to receive a customized offering of free
+AVC Video content.  In other words, as long as the End User is given
+access to or views AVC Video content at no cost to the End User, then
+no royalties would be payable under our AVC License.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, if End Users pay for access to AVC Video for a
+specific period of time (e.g., one month, one year, etc.), then such
+video would constitute Subscription AVC Video.  In cases where AVC
+Video is delivered to End Users on a pay-per-view basis, then such
+content would constitute Title-by-Title AVC Video.  If a party offers
+Subscription or Title-by-Title AVC Video to End Users, then they would
+be responsible for paying the applicable royalties you noted below.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Finally, in the case where AVC Video is distributed for free
+through an &quot;over-the-air, satellite and/or cable transmission&quot;, then
+such content would constitute Free Television AVC Video and would be
+subject to the applicable royalties.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For your reference, I have attached
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-07-07-mpegla.pdf&quot;&gt;a
+.pdf copy of the AVC License&lt;/a&gt;. You will find the relevant
+sublicense information regarding AVC Video in Sections 2.2 through
+2.5, and the corresponding royalties in Section 3.1.2 through 3.1.4.
+You will also find the definitions of Title-by-Title AVC Video,
+Subscription AVC Video, Free Television AVC Video, and Internet
+Broadcast AVC Video in Section 1 of the License.  Please note that the
+electronic copy is provided for informational purposes only and cannot
+be used for execution.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I hope the above information is helpful.  If you have additional
+questions or need further assistance with the AVC License, please feel
+free to contact me directly.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Having a fresh copy of the license text was useful, and knowing
+that the definition of Title-by-Title required payment per title made
+me aware that my earlier understanding of that phrase had been wrong.
+But I still had a few questions:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;I have a small followup question.  Would it be possible for me to get
+a license with MPEG LA even if there are no royalties to be paid?  The
+reason I ask, is that some video related products have a copyright
+clause limiting their use without a license with MPEG LA.  The clauses
+typically look similar to this:
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+  This product is licensed under the AVC patent portfolio license for
+  the personal and non-commercial use of a consumer to (a) encode
+  video in compliance with the AVC standard (&quot;AVC video&quot;) and/or (b)
+  decode AVC video that was encoded by a consumer engaged in a
+  personal and non-commercial activity and/or AVC video that was
+  obtained from a video provider licensed to provide AVC video. No
+  license is granted or shall be implied for any other use. additional
+  information may be obtained from MPEG LA L.L.C.
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;It is unclear to me if this clause mean that I need to enter into
+an agreement with MPEG LA to use the product in question, even if
+there are no royalties to be paid to MPEG LA.  I suspect it will
+differ depending on the jurisdiction, and mine is Norway.  What is
+MPEG LAs view on this?&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;According to the answer, MPEG LA believe those using such tools for
+non-personal or commercial use need a license with them:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;With regard to the Notice to Customers, I would like to begin by
+clarifying that the Notice from Section 7.1 of the AVC License
+reads:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;THIS PRODUCT IS LICENSED UNDER THE AVC PATENT PORTFOLIO LICENSE FOR
+THE PERSONAL USE OF A CONSUMER OR OTHER USES IN WHICH IT DOES NOT
+RECEIVE REMUNERATION TO (i) ENCODE VIDEO IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE AVC
+STANDARD (&quot;AVC VIDEO&quot;) AND/OR (ii) DECODE AVC VIDEO THAT WAS ENCODED
+BY A CONSUMER ENGAGED IN A PERSONAL ACTIVITY AND/OR WAS OBTAINED FROM
+A VIDEO PROVIDER LICENSED TO PROVIDE AVC VIDEO. NO LICENSE IS GRANTED
+OR SHALL BE IMPLIED FOR ANY OTHER USE. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MAY BE
+OBTAINED FROM MPEG LA, L.L.C. SEE HTTP://WWW.MPEGLA.COM&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The Notice to Customers is intended to inform End Users of the
+personal usage rights (for example, to watch video content) included
+with the product they purchased, and to encourage any party using the
+product for commercial purposes to contact MPEG LA in order to become
+licensed for such use (for example, when they use an AVC Product to
+deliver Title-by-Title, Subscription, Free Television or Internet
+Broadcast AVC Video to End Users, or to re-Sell a third party&#39;s AVC
+Product as their own branded AVC Product).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Therefore, if a party is to be licensed for its use of an AVC
+Product to Sell AVC Video on a Title-by-Title, Subscription, Free
+Television or Internet Broadcast basis, that party would need to
+conclude the AVC License, even in the case where no royalties were
+payable under the License.  On the other hand, if that party (either a
+Consumer or business customer) simply uses an AVC Product for their
+own internal purposes and not for the commercial purposes referenced
+above, then such use would be included in the royalty paid for the AVC
+Products by the licensed supplier.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Finally, I note that our AVC License provides worldwide coverage in
+countries that have AVC Patent Portfolio Patents, including
+Norway.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I hope this clarification is helpful.  If I may be of any further
+assistance, just let me know.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The mentioning of Norwegian patents made me a bit confused, so I
+asked for more information:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;But one minor question at the end.  If I understand you correctly,
+you state in the quote above that there are patents in the AVC Patent
+Portfolio that are valid in Norway.  This make me believe I read the
+list available from &amp;lt;URL:
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/PatentList.aspx&quot;&gt;http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/PatentList.aspx&lt;/a&gt;
+&amp;gt; incorrectly, as I believed the &quot;NO&quot; prefix in front of patents
+were Norwegian patents, and the only one I could find under Mitsubishi
+Electric Corporation expired in 2012.  Which patents are you referring
+to that are relevant for Norway?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Again, the quick answer explained how to read the list of patents
+in that list:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Your understanding is correct that the last AVC Patent Portfolio
+Patent in Norway expired on 21 October 2012.  Therefore, where AVC
+Video is both made and Sold in Norway after that date, then no
+royalties would be payable for such AVC Video under the AVC License.
+With that said, our AVC License provides historic coverage for AVC
+Products and AVC Video that may have been manufactured or Sold before
+the last Norwegian AVC patent expired.  I would also like to clarify
+that coverage is provided for the country of manufacture and the
+country of Sale that has active AVC Patent Portfolio Patents.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Therefore, if a party offers AVC Products or AVC Video for Sale in
+a country with active AVC Patent Portfolio Patents (for example,
+Sweden, Denmark, Finland, etc.), then that party would still need
+coverage under the AVC License even if such products or video are
+initially made in a country without active AVC Patent Portfolio
+Patents (for example, Norway).  Similarly, a party would need to
+conclude the AVC License if they make AVC Products or AVC Video in a
+country with active AVC Patent Portfolio Patents, but eventually Sell
+such AVC Products or AVC Video in a country without active AVC Patent
+Portfolio Patents.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;As far as I understand it, MPEG LA believe anyone using Adobe
+Premiere and other video related software with a H.264 distribution
+license need a license agreement with MPEG LA to use such tools for
+anything non-private or commercial, while it is OK to set up a
+Youtube-like service as long as no-one pays to get access to the
+content.  I still have no clear idea how this applies to Norway, where
+none of the patents MPEG LA is licensing are valid.  Will the
+copyright terms take precedence or can those terms be ignored because
+the patents are not valid in Norway?&lt;/p&gt;

-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_test_Debian_Edu_Jessie_despite_some_fatal_problems_with_the_installer.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Fri, 26 Sep 2014 12:20:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux
-project&lt;/a&gt; provide a Linux solution for schools, including a
-powerful desktop with education software, a central server providing
-web pages, user database, user home directories, central login and PXE
-boot of both  clients without disk and the installation to install Debian
-Edu on machines with disk (and a few other services perhaps to small
-to mention here).  We in the Debian Edu team are currently working on
-the Jessie based version, trying to get everything in shape before the
-freeze, to avoid having to maintain our own package repository in the
-future.  The
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Jessie&quot;&gt;current
-status&lt;/a&gt; can be seen on the Debian wiki, and there is still heaps of
-work left.  Some fatal problems block testing, breaking the installer,
-but it is possible to work around these to get anyway.  Here is a
-recipe on how to get the installation limping along.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;First, download the test ISO via
-&lt;a href=&quot;ftp://ftp.skolelinux.no/cd-edu-testing-nolocal-netinst/debian-edu-amd64-i386-NETINST-1.iso&quot;&gt;ftp&lt;/a&gt;,
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://ftp.skolelinux.no/cd-edu-testing-nolocal-netinst/debian-edu-amd64-i386-NETINST-1.iso&quot;&gt;http&lt;/a&gt;
-or rsync (use
-ftp.skolelinux.org::cd-edu-testing-nolocal-netinst/debian-edu-amd64-i386-NETINST-1.iso).
-The ISO build was broken on Tuesday, so we do not get a new ISO every
-12 hours or so, but thankfully the ISO we already got we are able to
-install with some tweaking.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;When you get to the Debian Edu profile question, go to tty2
-(use Alt-Ctrl-F2), run&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-nano /usr/bin/edu-eatmydata-install
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;and add &#39;exit 0&#39; as the second line, disabling the eatmydata
-optimization.  Return to the installation, select the profile you want
-and continue.  Without this change, exim4-config will fail to install
-due to a known bug in eatmydata.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;When you get the grub question at the end, answer /dev/sda (or if
-this do not work, figure out what your correct value would be.  All my
-test machines need /dev/sda, so I have no advice if it do not fit
-your need.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you installed a profile including a graphical desktop, log in as
-root after the initial boot from hard drive, and install the
-education-desktop-XXX metapackage.  XXX can be kde, gnome, lxde, xfce
-or mate.  If you want several desktop options, install more than one
-metapackage.  Once this is done, reboot and you should have a working
-graphical login screen.  This workaround should no longer be needed
-once the education-tasks package version 1.801 enter testing in two
-days.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I believe the ISO build will start working on two days when the new
-tasksel package enter testing and Steve McIntyre get a chance to
-update the debian-cd git repository.  The eatmydata, grub and desktop
-issues are already fixed in unstable and testing, and should show up
-on the ISO as soon as the ISO build start working again.  Well the
-eatmydata optimization is really just disabled.  The proper fix
-require an upload by the eatmydata maintainer applying the patch
-provided in bug &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/702711&quot;&gt;#702711&lt;/a&gt;.
-The rest have proper fixes in unstable.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I hope this get you going with the installation testing, as we are
-quickly running out of time trying to get our Jessie based
-installation ready before the distribution freeze in a month.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/New_laptop___some_more_clues_and_ideas_based_on_feedback.html</link>
+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/New_laptop___some_more_clues_and_ideas_based_on_feedback.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Sun, 5 Jul 2015 21:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Several people contacted me after my previous blog post about my
+need for a new laptop, and provided very useful feedback.  I wish to
+thank every one of these.  Several pointed me to the possibility of
+fixing my X230, and I am already in the process of getting Lenovo to
+do so thanks to the on site, next day support contract covering the
+machine.  But the battery is almost useless (I expect to replace it
+with a non-official battery) and I do not expect the machine to live
+for many more years, so it is time to plan its replacement.  If I did
+not have a support contract, it was suggested to find replacement parts
+using &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.francecrans.com/&quot;&gt;FrancEcrans&lt;/a&gt;, but it
+might present a language barrier as I do not understand French.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;One tip I got was to use the
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://skinflint.co.uk/?cat=nb&quot;&gt;Skinflint&lt;/a&gt; web service to
+compare laptop models.  It seem to have more models available than
+prisjakt.no.  Another tip I got from someone I know have similar
+keyboard preferences was that the HP EliteBook 840 keyboard is not
+very good, and this matches my experience with earlier EliteBook
+keyboards I tested.  Because of this, I will not consider it any further.
+
+&lt;p&gt;When I wrote my blog post, I was not aware of Thinkpad X250, the
+newest Thinkpad X model.  The keyboard reintroduces mouse buttons
+(which is missing from the X240), and is working fairly well with
+Debian Sid/Unstable according to
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.corsac.net/X250/&quot;&gt;Corsac.net&lt;/a&gt;.  The reports I
+got on the keyboard quality are not consistent.  Some say the keyboard
+is good, others say it is ok, while others say it is not very good.
+Those with experience from X41 and and X60 agree that the X250
+keyboard is not as good as those trusty old laptops, and suggest I
+keep and fix my X230 instead of upgrading, or get a used X230 to
+replace it.  I&#39;m also told that the X250 lack leds for caps lock, disk
+activity and battery status, which is very convenient on my X230.  I&#39;m
+also told that the CPU fan is running very often, making it a bit
+noisy.  In any case, the X250 do not work out of the box with Debian
+Stable/Jessie, one of my requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I have also gotten a few vendor proposals, one was
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://pro-star.com&quot;&gt;Pro-Star&lt;/a&gt;, another was
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://shop.gluglug.org.uk/product/libreboot-x200/&quot;&gt;Libreboot&lt;/a&gt;.
+The latter look very attractive to me.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Again, thank you all for the very useful feedback.  It help a lot
+as I keep looking for a replacement.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Update 2015-07-06: I was recommended to check out the
+&lt;a href=&quot;&quot;&gt;lapstore.de&lt;/a&gt; web shop for used laptops.  They got several
+different
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lapstore.de/f.php/shop/lapstore/f/411/lang/x/kw/Lenovo_ThinkPad_X_Serie/&quot;&gt;old
+thinkpad X models&lt;/a&gt;, and provide one year warranty.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;I use the &lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/&quot;&gt;lsdvd tool&lt;/a&gt;
-to handle my fairly large DVD collection.  It is a nice command line
-tool to get details about a DVD, like title, tracks, track length,
-etc, in XML, Perl or human readable format.  But lsdvd have not seen
-any new development since 2006 and had a few irritating bugs affecting
-its use with some DVDs.  Upstream seemed to be dead, and in January I
-sent a small probe asking for a version control repository for the
-project, without any reply.  But I use it regularly and would like to
-get &lt;a href=&quot;https://packages.qa.debian.org/lsdvd&quot;&gt;an updated version
-into Debian&lt;/a&gt;.  So two weeks ago I tried harder to get in touch with
-the project admin, and after getting a reply from him explaining that
-he was no longer interested in the project, I asked if I could take
-over.  And yesterday, I became project admin.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve been in touch with a Gentoo developer and the Debian
-maintainer interested in joining forces to maintain the upstream
-project, and I hope we can get a new release out fairly quickly,
-collecting the patches spread around on the internet into on place.
-I&#39;ve added the relevant Debian patches to the freshly created git
-repository, and expect the Gentoo patches to make it too.  If you got
-a DVD collection and care about command line tools, check out
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/git/ci/master/tree/&quot;&gt;the git source&lt;/a&gt; and join
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/mailman/&quot;&gt;the project mailing
-list&lt;/a&gt;. :)&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;My primary work horse laptop is failing, and will need a
+replacement soon.  The left 5 cm of the screen on my Thinkpad X230
+started flickering yesterday, and I suspect the cause is a broken
+cable, as changing the angle of the screen some times get rid of the
+flickering.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My requirements have not really changed since I bought it, and is
+still as
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Thank_you_Thinkpad_X41__for_your_long_and_trustworthy_service.html&quot;&gt;I
+described them in 2013&lt;/a&gt;.  The last time I bought a laptop, I had
+good help from
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.prisjakt.no/category.php?k=353&quot;&gt;prisjakt.no&lt;/a&gt;
+where I could select at least a few of the requirements (mouse pin,
+wifi, weight) and go through the rest manually.  Three button mouse
+and a good keyboard is not available as an option, and all the three
+laptop models proposed today (Thinkpad X240, HP EliteBook 820 G1 and
+G2) lack three mouse buttons).  It is also unclear to me how good the
+keyboard on the HP EliteBooks are.  I hope Lenovo have not messed up
+the keyboard, even if the quality and robustness in the X series have
+deteriorated since X41.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I wonder how I can find a sensible laptop when none of the options
+seem sensible to me?  Are there better services around to search the
+set of available laptops for features?  Please send me an email if you
+have suggestions.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Update 2015-07-23: I got a suggestion to check out the FSF
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/endorsement/respects-your-freedom&quot;&gt;list
+of endorsed hardware&lt;/a&gt;, which is useful background information.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Rundt omkring i Oslo og Østlandsområdet henger det bokser over
-veiene som jeg har lurt på hva gjør.  De har ut fra plassering og
-vinkling sett ut som bokser som sniffer ut et eller annet fra
-forbipasserende trafikk, men det har vært uklart for meg hva det er de
-leser av.  Her om dagen tok jeg bilde av en slik boks som henger under
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openstreetmap.no/?zoom=19&amp;mlat=59.96396&amp;mlon=10.34443&amp;layers=B00000&quot;&gt;ei
-skibru på Sollihøgda&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;60%&quot; src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2014-09-13-kapsch-sollihogda-crop.jpeg&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Boksen er tydelig merket «Kapsch &gt;&gt;&gt;», logoen til
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kapsch.net/&quot;&gt;det sveitsiske selskapet Kapsch&lt;/a&gt; som
-blant annet lager sensorsystemer for veitrafikk.  Men de lager mye
-forskjellig, og jeg kjente ikke igjen boksen på utseendet etter en
-kjapp titt på produktlista til selskapet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I og med at boksen henger over veien E16, en riksvei vedlikeholdt
-av Statens Vegvesen, så antok jeg at det burde være mulig å bruke
-REST-API-et som gir tilgang til vegvesenets database over veier,
-skilter og annet veirelatert til å finne ut hva i alle dager dette
-kunne være.  De har både
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.vegvesen.no/nvdb/api/dokumentasjon/datakatalog&quot;&gt;en
-datakatalog&lt;/a&gt; og
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.vegvesen.no/nvdb/api/dokumentasjon/sok&quot;&gt;et
-søk&lt;/a&gt;, der en kan søke etter ulike typer oppføringer innen for et
-gitt geografisk område.  Jeg laget et enkelt shell-script for å hente
-ut antall av en gitt type innenfor området skibrua dekker, og listet
-opp navnet på typene som ble funnet.  Orket ikke slå opp hvordan
-URL-koding av aktuelle strenger kunne gjøres mer generisk, og brukte
-en stygg sed-linje i stedet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-#!/bin/sh
-urlmap() {
-    sed \
-    -e &#39;s/  / /g&#39;   -e &#39;s/{/%7B/g&#39;  \

-  &amp;lt;navn&gt;Bruksklasse&amp;lt;/navn&gt;
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Av disse ser ID 775 og 862 mest relevant ut.  ID 775 antar jeg
-refererer til fotoboksen som står like ved brua, mens
-«Reisetidsregistreringspunkt» kanskje kan være boksen som henger der.
-Hvordan finner jeg så ut hva dette kan være for noe.  En titt på
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://labs.vegdata.no/nvdb-datakatalog/862-Reisetidsregistreringspunkt/&quot;&gt;datakatalogsiden
-for ID 862/Reisetidsregistreringspunkt&lt;/a&gt; viser at det er finnes 53
-slike målere i Norge, og hvor de er plassert, men gir ellers få
-detaljer.  Det er plassert 40 på østlandet og 13 i Trondheimsregionen.
-Men siden nevner «AutoPASS», og hvis en slår opp oppføringen på
-Sollihøgda nevner den «Ciber AS» som ID for eksternt system.  (Kan det
-være snakk om
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.proff.no/selskap/ciber-norge-as/oslo/internettdesign-og-programmering/Z0I3KMF4/&quot;&gt;Ciber
-Norge AS&lt;/a&gt;, et selskap eid av Ciber Europe Bv?)  Et nettsøk på
- «Ciber AS autopass» fører meg til en artikkel fra NRK Trøndelag i
- 2013 med tittel
-«&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nrk.no/trondelag/sjekk-dette-hvis-du-vil-unnga-ko-1.11327947&quot;&gt;Sjekk
-dette hvis du vil unngå kø&lt;/a&gt;».  Artikkelen henviser til vegvesenets
-nettside
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reisetider.no/reisetid/forside.html&quot;&gt;reisetider.no&lt;/a&gt;
-som har en
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reisetider.no/reisetid/omrade.html?omrade=5&quot;&gt;kartside
-for Østlandet&lt;/a&gt; som viser at det måles mellom Sandvika og Sollihøgda.
-Det kan dermed se ut til at jeg har funnet ut hva boksene gjør.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Hvis det stemmer, så er dette bokser som leser av AutoPASS-ID-en
-til alle passerende biler med AutoPASS-brikke, og dermed gjør det mulig
-for de som kontrollerer boksene å holde rede på hvor en gitt bil er
-når den passerte et slikt målepunkt.  NRK-artikkelen forteller at
-denne informasjonen i dag kun brukes til å koble to
-AutoPASS-brikkepasseringer passeringer sammen for å beregne
-reisetiden, og at bruken er godkjent av Datatilsynet.  Det er desverre
-ikke mulig for en sjåfør som passerer under en slik boks å kontrollere
-at AutoPASS-ID-en kun brukes til dette i dag og i fremtiden.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I tillegg til denne type AutoPASS-sniffere vet jeg at det også
-finnes mange automatiske stasjoner som tar betalt pr. passering (aka
-bomstasjoner), og der lagres informasjon om tid, sted og bilnummer i
-10 år.  Finnes det andre slike sniffere plassert ut på veiene?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Personlig har jeg valgt å ikke bruke AutoPASS-brikke, for å gjøre
-det vanskeligere og mer kostbart for de som vil invadere privatsfæren
-og holde rede på hvor bilen min beveger seg til enhver tid.  Jeg håper
-flere vil gjøre det samme, selv om det gir litt høyere private
-utgifter (dyrere bompassering).  Vern om privatsfæren koster i disse
-dager.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Takk til Jan Kristian Jensen i Statens Vegvesen for tips om
-dokumentasjon på vegvesenets REST-API.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.debian.org/&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt; installer could be
-a lot quicker.  When we install more than 2000 packages in
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux / Debian Edu&lt;/a&gt; using
-tasksel in the installer, unpacking the binary packages take forever.
-A part of the slow I/O issue was discussed in
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/613428&quot;&gt;bug #613428&lt;/a&gt; about too
-much file system sync-ing done by dpkg, which is the package
-responsible for unpacking the binary packages.  Other parts (like code
-executed by postinst scripts) might also sync to disk during
-installation.  All this sync-ing to disk do not really make sense to
-me.  If the machine crash half-way through, I start over, I do not try
-to salvage the half installed system.  So the failure sync-ing is
-supposed to protect against, hardware or system crash, is not really
-relevant while the installer is running.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;A few days ago, I thought of a way to get rid of all the file
-system sync()-ing in a fairly non-intrusive way, without the need to
-change the code in several packages.  The idea is not new, but I have
-not heard anyone propose the approach using dpkg-divert before.  It
-depend on the small and clever package
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://packages.qa.debian.org/eatmydata&quot;&gt;eatmydata&lt;/a&gt;, which
-uses LD_PRELOAD to replace the system functions for syncing data to
-disk with functions doing nothing, thus allowing programs to live
-dangerous while speeding up disk I/O significantly.  Instead of
-modifying the implementation of dpkg, apt and tasksel (which are the
-packages responsible for selecting, fetching and installing packages),
-it occurred to me that we could just divert the programs away, replace
-them with a simple shell wrapper calling
-&quot;eatmydata&amp;nbsp;$program&amp;nbsp;$@&quot;, to get the same effect.
-Two days ago I decided to test the idea, and wrapped up a simple
-implementation for the Debian Edu udeb.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The effect was stunning.  In my first test it reduced the running
-time of the pkgsel step (installing tasks) from 64 to less than 44
-minutes (20 minutes shaved off the installation) on an old Dell
-Latitude D505 machine.  I am not quite sure what the optimised time
-would have been, as I messed up the testing a bit, causing the debconf
-priority to get low enough for two questions to pop up during
-installation.  As soon as I saw the questions I moved the installation
-along, but do not know how long the question were holding up the
-installation.  I did some more measurements using Debian Edu Jessie,
-and got these results.  The time measured is the time stamp in
-/var/log/syslog between the &quot;pkgsel: starting tasksel&quot; and the
-&quot;pkgsel: finishing up&quot; lines, if you want to do the same measurement
-yourself.  In Debian Edu, the tasksel dialog do not show up, and the
-timing thus do not depend on how quickly the user handle the tasksel
-dialog.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;td&gt;4 min 21%&lt;/td&gt;
-&lt;/tr&gt;
-
-&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The test is done using a netinst ISO on a USB stick, so some of the
-time is spent downloading packages.  The connection to the Internet
-was 100Mbit/s during testing, so downloading should not be a
-significant factor in the measurement.  Download typically took a few
-seconds to a few minutes, depending on the amount of packages being
-installed.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The speedup is implemented by using two hooks in
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/&quot;&gt;Debian
-Installer&lt;/a&gt;, the pre-pkgsel.d hook to set up the diverts, and the
-finish-install.d hook to remove the divert at the end of the
-installation.  I picked the pre-pkgsel.d hook instead of the
-post-base-installer.d hook because I test using an ISO without the
-eatmydata package included, and the post-base-installer.d hook in
-Debian Edu can only operate on packages included in the ISO.  The
-negative effect of this is that I am unable to activate this
-optimization for the kernel installation step in d-i.  If the code is
-moved to the post-base-installer.d hook, the speedup would be larger
-for the entire installation.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve implemented this in the
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://packages.qa.debian.org/debian-edu-install&quot;&gt;debian-edu-install&lt;/a&gt;
-git repository, and plan to provide the optimization as part of the
-Debian Edu installation.  If you want to test this yourself, you can
-create two files in the installer (or in an udeb).  One shell script
-need do go into /usr/lib/pre-pkgsel.d/, with content like this:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;In Debian Edu, I placed both code fragments in a separate script

-
-&lt;p&gt;By now you might ask if this change should get into the normal
-Debian installer too?  I suspect it should, but am not sure the
-current debian-installer coordinators find it useful enough.  It also
-depend on the side effects of the change.  I&#39;m not aware of any, but I
-guess we will see if the change is safe after some more testing.
-Perhaps there is some package in Debian depending on sync() and
-fsync() having effect?  Perhaps it should go into its own udeb, to
-allow those of us wanting to enable it to do so without affecting
-everyone.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Update 2014-09-24: Since a few days ago, enabling this optimization
-will break installation of all programs using gnutls because of
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/702711&quot;&gt;bug #702711&lt;/a&gt;.  An updated
-eatmydata package in Debian will solve it.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Update 2014-10-17: The bug mentioned above is fixed in testing and
-the optimization work again.  And I have discovered that the
-dpkg-divert trick is not really needed and implemented a slightly
-simpler approach as part of the debian-edu-install package.  See
-tools/edu-eatmydata-install in the source package.&lt;/p&gt;

-                <pubDate>Wed, 10 Sep 2014 13:10:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending a talk with the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;Norwegian Unix User Group&lt;/a&gt; about
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20140909-sks-keyservers/&quot;&gt;the
-OpenPGP keyserver pool sks-keyservers.net&lt;/a&gt;, and was very happy to
-learn that there is a large set of publicly available key servers to
-use when looking for peoples public key.  So far I have used
-subkeys.pgp.net, and some times wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net when the former
-were misbehaving, but those days are ended.  The servers I have used
-up until yesterday have been slow and some times unavailable.  I hope
-those problems are gone now.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Behind the round robin DNS entry of the
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://sks-keyservers.net/&quot;&gt;sks-keyservers.net&lt;/a&gt; service
-there is a pool of more than 100 keyservers which are checked every
-day to ensure they are well connected and up to date.  It must be
-better than what I have used so far. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Yesterdays speaker told me that the service is the default
-keyserver provided by the default configuration in GnuPG, but this do
-not seem to be used in Debian.  Perhaps it should?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Anyway, I&#39;ve updated my ~/.gnupg/options file to now include this
-line:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;With GnuPG version 2 one can also locate the keyserver using SRV
-entries in DNS.  Just for fun, I did just that at work, so now every
-user of GnuPG at the University of Oslo should find a OpenGPG
-keyserver automatically should their need it:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-% host -t srv _pgpkey-http._tcp.uio.no
-_pgpkey-http._tcp.uio.no has SRV record 0 100 11371 pool.sks-keyservers.net.
-%
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Now if only
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-shaw-openpgp-hkp/&quot;&gt;the
-HKP lookup protocol&lt;/a&gt; supported finding signature paths, I would be
-very happy.  It can look up a given key or search for a user ID, but I
-normally do not want that, but to find a trust path from my key to
-another key.  Given a user ID or key ID, I would like to find (and
-download) the keys representing a signature path from my key to the
-key in question, to be able to get a trust path between the two keys.
-This is as far as I can tell not possible today.  Perhaps something
-for a future version of the protocol?&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Two years later, I am still not sure if it is legal here in Norway
-to use or publish a video in H.264 or MPEG4 format edited by the
-commercially licensed video editors, without limiting the use to
-create &quot;personal&quot; or &quot;non-commercial&quot; videos or get a license
-agreement with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpegla.com&quot;&gt;MPEG LA&lt;/a&gt;.  If one
-want to publish and broadcast video in a non-personal or commercial
-setting, it might be that those tools can not be used, or that video
-format can not be used, without breaking their copyright license.  I
-am not sure.
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Trenger_en_avtale_med_MPEG_LA_for___publisere_og_kringkaste_H_264_video_.html&quot;&gt;Back
-then&lt;/a&gt;, I found that the copyright license terms for Adobe Premiere
-and Apple Final Cut Pro both specified that one could not use the
-program to produce anything else without a patent license from MPEG
-LA.  The issue is not limited to those two products, though.  Other
-much used products like those from Avid and Sorenson Media have terms
-of use are similar to those from Adobe and Apple.  The complicating
-factor making me unsure if those terms have effect in Norway or not is
-that the patents in question are not valid in Norway, but copyright

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I en global verden med eierskap på tvers, trengs det informasjon om
+hvem som har kontrollen i selskaper og bedrifter.  Og for å få tilgang
+til slik informasjon for alle som ønsker å analysere eierskap, holder
+med ikke med nasjonale databaser over eierskap, det må globale
+samledatabaser med åpne data til.  Heldigvis finnes det en
+internasjonal bevegelse for å gjøre selskapsinformasjon for alle land
+offentlig tilgjengelig.  En slik database heter
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://opencorporates.com&quot;&gt;OpenCorporates&lt;/a&gt;, der
+informasjonen er gratis tilgjengelig med en &quot;del på samme
+vilkår&quot;-lisens.  De samler inn selskapsinformasjon, eierskap,
+konsesjonstildelinger og lignende.  De manglet ganske mye for Norge,
+da bruksvilkårene til Norsk offentlig informasjon i stor grad
+blokkerer OpenCorporates fra å samle den inn.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Men jeg er jo involvert i
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt;, som har
+TV-konsesjon, og tenkte det kunne være fint om informasjon om alle
+mediakonsesjoner var tilgjengelig i OpenCorporates, så jeg sendte
+avgårde følgende spørsmål til Medietilsynet 2015-06-22:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Hei.  Finnes det en oversikt over enhetene som Mediatilsynet fører
+tilsyn med som åpne data?  Jeg lette etter den på
+&amp;lt;URL:&lt;a href=&quot;http://data.norge.no/&quot;&gt;http://data.norge.no/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt; og
+&amp;lt;URL:&lt;a href=&quot;http://hotell.difi.no/&quot;&gt;http://hotell.difi.no/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt; uten å
+finne noe der, og fant heller ikke noe under
+&amp;lt;URL:&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.medietilsynet.no/&quot;&gt;http://www.medietilsynet.no/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg tenker på alle som har fått kringkastingskonsesjon og alle som
+er omtalt under
+&amp;lt;URL:&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.medietilsynet.no/mediebildet/&quot;&gt;http://www.medietilsynet.no/mediebildet/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg skulle gjerne hatt dette maskinlesbart, og inkludert
+organisasjonsnummer og hva slags forhold mediatilsynet har til
+organisasjonene.  Tanken er å importere det i
+&amp;lt;URL:&lt;a href=&quot;https://opencorporates.com/&quot;&gt;https://opencorporates.com/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt; for analyse, så det bør ikke ha
+bruksbegresninger som gjør dette umulig.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To dager senere fikk jeg svar, med de datasettene de hadde
+tilgjengelig.  Svaret fra Hanne Sekkelsten hos Medietilsynet var
+informativt og imøtekommende.&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2015 14:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;It is a bit work to figure out the ownership structure of companies
+in Norway.  The information is publicly available, but one need to
+recursively look up ownership for all owners to figure out the complete
+ownership graph of a given set of companies.  To save me the work in
+the future, I wrote a script to do this automatically, outputting the
+ownership structure using the Graphviz/dotty format.  The data source
+is web scraping from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.proff.no/&quot;&gt;Proff&lt;/a&gt;, because
+I failed to find a useful source directly from the official keepers of
+the ownership data, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.brreg.no/&quot;&gt;Brønnøysundsregistrene&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To get an ownership graph for a set of companies, fetch
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/brreg-norway-ownership-graph&quot;&gt;the code from git&lt;/a&gt; and run it using the organisation number.  I&#39;m
+using the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet as an example here, as its
+ownership structure is very simple:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+% time ./bin/eierskap-dotty 958033540 &gt; dagbladet.dot
+
+real    0m2.841s
+user    0m0.184s
+sys     0m0.036s
+%
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The script accept several organisation numbers on the command line,
+allowing a cluster of companies to be graphed in the same image.  The
+resulting dot file for the example above look like this.  The edges
+are labeled with the ownership percentage, and the nodes uses the
+organisation number as their name and the name as the label:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+digraph ownership {
+rankdir = LR;
+&quot;Aller Holding A/s&quot; -&gt; &quot;910119877&quot; [label=&quot;100%&quot;]
+&quot;910119877&quot; -&gt; &quot;998689015&quot; [label=&quot;100%&quot;]
+&quot;998689015&quot; -&gt; &quot;958033540&quot; [label=&quot;99%&quot;]
+&quot;974530600&quot; -&gt; &quot;958033540&quot; [label=&quot;1%&quot;]
+&quot;958033540&quot; [label=&quot;AS DAGBLADET&quot;]
+&quot;998689015&quot; [label=&quot;Berner Media Holding AS&quot;]
+&quot;974530600&quot; [label=&quot;Dagbladets Stiftelse&quot;]
+&quot;910119877&quot; [label=&quot;Aller Media AS&quot;]
+}
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To view the ownership graph, run &quot;&lt;tt&gt;dotty dagbladet.dot&lt;/tt&gt;&quot; or
+convert it to a PNG using &quot;&lt;tt&gt;dot -T png dagbladet.dot &gt;
+dagbladet.png&lt;/tt&gt;&quot;.  The result can be seen below:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;img src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-06-15-ownership-graphs-norway-dagbladet.png&quot; width=&quot;80%&quot;&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Note that I suspect the &quot;Aller Holding A/S&quot; entry to be incorrect
+data in the official ownership register, as that name is not
+registered in the official company register for Norway.  The ownership
+register is sensitive to typos and there seem to be no strict checking
+of the ownership links.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Let me know if you improve the script or find better data sources.
+The code is licensed according to GPL 2 or newer.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Update 2015-06-15: Since the initial post I&#39;ve been told that
+&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.proff.dk/firma/carl-allers-etablissement-aktieselskab/københavn-v/hovedkontorer/13624518-3/&quot;&gt;Aller
+Holding A/S&lt;/a&gt;&quot; is a Danish company, which explain why it did not
+have a Norwegian organisation number.  I&#39;ve also been told that there
+is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.brreg.no/automatiske/webservices/&quot;&gt;web
+services API available&lt;/a&gt; from Brønnøysundsregistrene, for those
+willing to accept the terms or pay the price.&lt;/p&gt;
