                <description>&lt;p&gt;Da opphavsrettsloven ble revidert i forrige runde rundt 2005, var
det skummelt å se hvor lite stortingsrepresentantene forsto hvordan
Internet påvirket folks forhold til kulturuttrykk, og min venn Vidar
og jeg spekulert på at det hadde kanskje vært fornuftig om samtlige
representanter fikk en norsk utgave av boken
&lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; av Lawrence Lessig
som forklarte litt om problemstillingene.  Vi endte opp med å
prioritere utvikling i
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;-prosjektet i
stedet, så den oversatte boken så aldri dagens lys.  Men i forrige uke
ble jeg inspirert til å ta opp tråden og se om det er mulig å få til
bokprosjektet denne gang, da det er tydelig at kulturdepartementet i
sitt nye forsøk på å gjøre opphavsrettsloven enda mer ubalansert til
fordel for forlag og store mediehus fortsatt trenger en annen vinkling
i debatten.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Planen min er å oversette boka på dugnad, sette den opp for
trykking med en av de mange
&lt;a href=&quot;http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trykk_på_forespørsel&quot;&gt;trykk på
forespørsel&lt;/a&gt;-tjenestene, skaffe sponsor til å finansiere trykking
til stortingsrepresentantene og alle som har bidratt med
oversettelser.  Kanskje vi også kan få en avtale med et forlag om
publisering når boka er ferdig?  Kommentarene til
&lt;a href=&quot;http://newth.net/eirik/2011/04/01/e-selvpublisering/&quot;&gt;Eirik
Newth&lt;/a&gt; og
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.espen.com/norskblogg/archives/2008/09/erfaringer_med_publishing_on_demand.html&quot;&gt;Espen
Andersen&lt;/a&gt; om erfaringene med selvpublisering og trykk på
forespørsel er interessante og ikke avskrekkende, og jeg mistenker at
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/&quot;&gt;Lulu&lt;/a&gt; er en grei leverandør av
trykketjenester til prosjektet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jeg har satt opp
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;et
Github-prosjekt&lt;/a&gt; for a lage boken, basert på Docbook-utgaven jeg
fant fra Hans Schou.  Skolelinux har hatt byggesystem for å lage
oversatt HTML og PDF-utgave av Docbook-bøker i en årrekke, så jeg har
kopiert og utvidet dette oppsettet.  Originalteksten er i Docbook, og
oversettelsen gjøres i .po-filer med hjelp av vanlige
oversetterverktøy brukt i fri programvareverden.  Dernest tar
byggesystemet over og lager PDF og EPUB-utgave av den oversatte
teksten.  Resultatet kan ses i Github-prosjektet.  For å komme raskt
igang har jeg brukt maskinoversettelse av alle tekstbitene fra engelsk
til norsk, noe som grovoversatte ca. 1300 av de ca. 1700 tekstbitene
boken består av.  Jeg håper nå at flere kan bidra med å få
oversettelsen på plass, slik at teksten kan være klar i løpet av
høsten.  Når alt er oversatt må teksten gjennomgås for feil og
konsistent språk.  Totalt er det nok mange timer som trengs for å
gjennomføre oversettelsen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Økonomien i dette er ikke avskrekkende.  169
stortingsrepresentanter og nesten like mange varamedlemmer bør få
bøker, og estimert produduksjonskostnad for hver bok er rundt 6 EURO i
følge et raskt estimat fra Lulu.  Jeg vet ennå ikke hvor mange sider
det blir i størrelsen 5,5&quot; x 8.5&quot; (det er ca. 140 sider i A4-format),
så jeg gjettet på 400 sider.  Jeg tror originalutgaven har nesten 400
sider.  For 169*2 eksemplarer snakker vi om en trykkekostnad på
ca. 2000 EURO, dvs. ca 15 000 NOK.  Det burde være mulig å finne en
sponsor for til å dekke en slik sum.  I tillegg kommer distribusjon og
porto, som antagelig kommer på like mye.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kan du bidra med oversettelse og docbook-typesetting?  Ta kontakt
og send patcher i github.  Jeg legger gjerne inn folk i prosjektet
slik at du kan oppdatere direkte.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Debian Edu interview: George Bredberg</title>
                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Edu_interview__George_Bredberg.html</link>

                <pubDate>Mon, 9 Jul 2012 00:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu /
Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; project have users all over the globe, but until
recently we have not known about any users in Norway&#39;s neighbour
country Sweden.  This changed when George Bredberg showed up in March
this year on the mailing list, asking interesting questions about how
to adjust and scale the just released
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org/News/2012/20120311.html&quot;&gt;Debian Edu
Wheezy&lt;/a&gt; setup to his liking.  He granted me an interview, and I am
happy to share his answers with you here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who are you, and how do you spend your days?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m a 44 year old country guy that have been working 12 years at
the same school as 50% IT-manager and 50% Teacher. My educational
background is fil.kand in history and religious beliefs, an exam as a
&quot;folkhighschool&quot; teacher, that is, for teaching grownups.  In
Norwegian I believe it&#39;s called &quot;Vuxenupplaring&quot;. I also have a master
in &quot;Technology and social change&quot;. So I&#39;m not really a tech guy, I
just like to study how humans and technology interact and that is my
perspective when working with IT.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I have followed the Skolelinux project for quite some time by
now. Earlier I tested out the K12-LTSP project, which we used for some
time, but I really like the idea of having a distribution aimed to be
a complete solution for schools with necessary tools integrated. When
K12-LTSP abandoned that idea some years ago, I started to look more
seriously into Skolelinux instead.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The big point of Skolelinux to me is that it is a complete
distribution, ready to install. It has LDAP-support, MS Windows
integration tools and so forth already configured, saving an
administrator a lot of time and headache. We were using another Linux
based thin-client system called Thinlinc, that has served us very
well. But that Skolelinux is based on VNC and LTSP, to me, is better
when it comes to the kind of multimedia used in schools. That is
showing videos from Youtube or educational TV. It is also easier to
mix thin clients with workstations, since the user settings will be the
same. In our VNC-based solution you had to &quot;beat around the bush&quot; by
setting up a second, hidden, home-directory for user settings for the
workstations, because they will be different from the ones used on the
thin clients. Skolelinux support for diskless workstations are very
convenient since a school today often need to use a class room
projector showing videos in full screen. That is easily done with a
small integrated media computer running as a diskless workstation. You
have only two installs to update and configure. One for the thin
clients and one for the workstations. Also saving a lot of time.  Our
old system was also based on Redhat and CentOS. They are both very
nice distributions, but they are sometimes painfully slow when it
comes to updating multimedia support and multimedia programs (even
such as Gimp), leaving us with a bit &quot;oldish&quot; applications. Debian is
quicker to update.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Debian is a bit too quick when it comes to updating. As an example
we use old HP terminals as thinclients, and two times already this
year (2012) the updates you get from the repositories has stopped
sound from working with them.  It&#39;s a kernel/ALSA issue. So you have
to be more careful properly testing the updates before you run them in
a production environment. This has never happened with CentOS.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I also would like to be able to set my own domain-settings at
install time.  In Skolelinux they are kind of hard coded into the
distribution, when it comes to LDAP and at least samba integration.
That is more a cosmetic/translation issue, and not a real problem.
Running MS Windows applications within the Skolelinux environment needs
to be better supported. That is, running them seamlessly via RDP, and
support for single-sign on.  That will make the transition to free
software easier, because you can keep the applications you really
need.  No support will make it impossible if you work in a school where
some applications can&#39;t be open source. As for us we really need to
run Adobe InDesign in our journalist classes.  We run a journalist
education, and is one of the very few non university ones that is ok:d
by Svenska journalistförbundet (Swedish journalist association).  Our
education gives the pupils the right of membership there, once they
are done.  This is important if you want to get a job.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Adobe InDesign is the program most commonly used in newspapers and
magazines.  We used Quark Express before, but they seem to loose there
market to Adobe. The only &quot;equivalent&quot; to InDesign in the opensource
world is Scribus, and its not advanced enough. At least not according
to the teacher. I think it would be possible to use it, because they
are not supposed to learn a program, they are supposed to learn how to
edit and compile a newspaper.  But politically at our school we are not
there yet.  And Scribus lacks a lot of things you find i InDesign.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We used even a windows program for sound editing when it comes to
the radio-journalist part. The year to come we are going to try
Audacity. That software has the same kind of limitations compared to
Adobe Audition, but that teacher is a bit more open minded. We have
tried Ardour also, but that instead is more like a music studio
program, not intended for the kind of editing taking place in a radio
studio. Its way to complex and the GUI is to scattered when you only
want to cut, make pass-overs, add extra channels and normalise.  Those
things you can do in Audacity, but its not as easy as in Audition. You
have to do more things manually with envelopes, and that is a bit old
fashion and timewasting. Its also harder to cut and move sound from
one channel to another, which is a thing that you do frequently
because you often find yourself needing to rearrange parts of the
sound file.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, I am not sure we will succeed in replacing even Audition, but we
will try.  The problem is the students have certain expectations when
they start an education towards a profession.  So the programs has to
look and feel professional.  Good thing with radio, there are many
programs out there, that radio studios use, so its not as standardised
as Newspaper editing. That means, it does not really matter what
program they learn, because once they start working they still have to
learn the program the studio uses, so instead focus has to be to learn
the editing part without to much focus on a specific software.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which free software do you use daily?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Myself I&#39;m running Linux Mint, or Ubuntu these days.  I use almost
only open source software, and preferably Linux based. When it comes
to most used applications its OpenOffice, and Firefox (of course ;)
)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
get schools to use free software?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To get schools to use free software there has to be good open
source software that are windows based, to ease the transition. But
it&#39;s also very important that the multimedia support is working
flawlessly.  The problems with Youtube, Twitter, Facebook and whatever
will create problems when it comes to both teachers and
students. Economy are also important for schools, so using thin
clients, as long as they have good multimedia support, is a very good
idea. It&#39;s also important that the open source software works even for
the administration.  It&#39;s hard to convince the teachers to stick with
open source, if the principal has to run Windows.  It also creates a
problem if some classes has to use Windows for there tasks, since that
will create a difference in &quot;status&quot; between classes, so a good
support for running windows applications via the thin client (Linux)
desktop is essential.  At least at our school, where we have mixed
level of educations, from high-school to journalist-school.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Update 2012-07-09 08:30: Paul Wise tipped me on IRC about three
useful sources related to Free Software for radio stations: the LWN
article &lt;a href=&quot;https://lwn.net/Articles/481607/&quot;&gt;Radio station
management with Airtime&lt;/a&gt;,
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sourcefabric.org/en/airtime/&quot;&gt;Airtime&lt;/a&gt; which
claim to be a Free open source radio automation software and
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rivendellaudio.org/&quot;&gt;Rivendell&lt;/a&gt; which claim to
be complete radio broadcast automation solution.  All of them seem
useful to the aspiring radio producer.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Why do schools waste money on IT?</title>
                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Why_do_schools_waste_money_on_IT_.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Why_do_schools_waste_money_on_IT_.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Sun, 8 Jul 2012 09:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;In the Debian Edu / Skolelinux project, we have realised that one
of the major blockers for the project success is the purchasing skills
in schools and municipalities.  We provide what the happy users of
Debian Edu / Skolelinux say they need and to a lower cost than the
alternatives, and yet so few schools decide to use our solution.  I
was pleased to discover the same observation done by mySociety and Tom
Steinberg in his blog post
&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mysociety.org/2012/06/19/can-you-recognize-the-million-pound-chair/&quot;&gt;Can
you recognize the million pound chair?&lt;/a&gt;&quot;.  Read it and weep for the
spending of your tax money.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Of course there are other factors involved as well, like our
projects bad marketing skills and the Linux community fragmentation
causing worry with the people on the outside, so we as a project need
to keep working hard to gain users, but it is a up-hill battle when
public decision makers are unable to understand computer system
purchases.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Included in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu /
Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; is a large collection of end user and school specific
software.  It is one of the packages not installed by default but
provided in the Debian archive for schools to install if they want to,
is a system to automatically plan the school time table using
information about available teachers, classes and rooms, combined with
the list of required courses and how many hours each topic should
receive.  The software is

&lt;a href=&quot;http://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/&quot;&gt;named FET&lt;/a&gt;, and it provide a
graphical user interface to input the required information, save the
result in a fairly simple XML format, and generate time tables for
both teachers and students.  It is available both for
&lt;a href=&quot;http://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/download.html&quot;&gt;Linux, MacOSX and
Windows&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is &lt;a href=&quot;http://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/features.html&quot;&gt;the
feature list&lt;/a&gt;, liftet from the project web site:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;FET is free software, licensed under the GNU GPL v2 or later.
    You can freely use, copy, modify and redistribute it &lt;/li&gt;
        
  &lt;li&gt;Localized to en_US (US English, default), ar (Arabic), ca
    (Catalan), da (Danish), de (German), el (Greek), es (Spanish), fa
    (Persian), fr (French), gl (Galician), he (Hebrew), hu

    sk (Slovak), sr (Serbian), tr (Turkish), uk (Ukrainian), uz
    (Uzbek) and vi (Vietnamese) (incompletely for some languages)
    &lt;/li&gt;
        
  &lt;li&gt;Fully automatic generation algorithm, allowing also
    semi-automatic or manual allocation&lt;/li&gt;
        
  &lt;li&gt;Platform independent implementation, allowing running on
    GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac and any system that Qt supports &lt;/li&gt;
        
  &lt;li&gt;Flexible modular XML format for the input file, allowing editing
    with an XML editor or by hand (besides FET interface)&lt;/li&gt;
        
  &lt;li&gt;Import/export from CSV format&lt;/li&gt;
        
  &lt;li&gt;The resulted timetables are exported into HTML, XML and CSV
    formats &lt;/li&gt;
        
  &lt;li&gt;Flexible students structure, organized into sets: years, groups
    and subgroups. FET allows overlapping years and groups and
    non-overlapping subgroups. You can even define individual students
    (as separate sets)&lt;/li&gt;
        
  &lt;li&gt;Each constraint has a weight percentage, from 0.0% to 100.0%
    (but some special constraints are allowed to have only 100% weight
    percentage)&lt;/li&gt;
        
  &lt;li&gt;Limits for the algorithm (all these limits can be increased on
    demand, as a custom version, because this would require a bit more
    memory):
    &lt;ul&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Maximum total number of hours (periods) per day: 60&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Maximum number of working days per week: 35&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Maximum total number of teachers: 6000&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Maximum total number of sets of students: 30000&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Maximum total number of subjects: 6000&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Virtually unlimited number of activity tags&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Maximum number of activities: 30000&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Maximum number of rooms: 6000&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Maximum number of buildings: 6000&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Possibility of adding multiple teachers and
          students sets for each activity.  (it is possible
          also to have no teachers or no students sets for an
          activity)&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Virtually unlimited number of time constraints&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Virtually unlimited number of space constraints&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;A large and flexible palette of time constraints:
    &lt;ul&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Break periods&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;For teacher(s):
        &lt;ul&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Not available periods&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Max/min days per week&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Max gaps per day/week&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Max hours daily/continuously&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Min hours daily&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Max hours daily/continuously with an activity tag&lt;/li&gt;

          &lt;li&gt;Respect working in an hourly interval a max number of
            days per week&lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;For students (sets):
        &lt;ul&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Not available periods&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Begins early (specify max allowed beginnings at second hour)&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Max gaps per day/week&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Max hours daily/continuously&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Min hours daily&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Max hours daily/continuously with an activity tag&lt;/li&gt;

          &lt;li&gt;Respect working in an hourly interval a max number of
            days per week&lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;For an activity or a set of activities/subactivities:
        &lt;ul&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;A single preferred starting time&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;A set of preferred starting times&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;A set of preferred time slots&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Min/max days between them&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;End(s) students day&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Same starting time/day/hour&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Occupy max time slots from selection (a complex and
            flexible constraint, useful in many situations)&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Consecutive, ordered, grouped (for 2 or 3 (sub)activities)&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Not overlapping&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Max simultaneous in selected time slots&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;Min gaps between a set of (sub)activities&lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;A large and flexible palette of space constraints:
    &lt;ul&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Room not available periods&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;For teacher(s):
        &lt;ul&gt;

jeg leserne i undring&lt;/a&gt; om hvor pakken fra MPEG-LA tok veien, og om
hvilke selskaper i Norge som har avtale med MPEG-LA.  Da Ryan hos
MPEG-LA dro på ferie sendte jeg min melding videre til hans kollega,
og dagen etter fikk jeg følgende svar derfra:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dear Mr. Reinholdtsen,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your message. As you know, Ryan is currently our of the
office, so it will be my pleasure to assist you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Per your request, attached please find an electronic copy of the
AVC Patent Portfolio License. Please note that the electronic copy of
the License is provided as a convenience and for informational
purposes only. When concluding the Licenses, only the hard copies
provided by MPEG LA may be used.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To your question, MPEG LA lists our Licensees on our website
according to each program.  The lists are in alphabetical order, so it
is very easy to search.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I hope that this was helpful. If we can be of additional
assistance, please let me know.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kind regards,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Selv om et epostvedlegg er nyttig for mottakeren, så håpet jeg å få
et dokument jeg kunne dele med alle leserne av bloggen min, og ikke et
som må deles på individuell basis.  Opphavsretten krever godkjenning
fra rettighetsinnehaver før en kan gjøre slikt, så dermed fulgte jeg
opp med et spørsmål om dette var greit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your reply.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;[Sidney Wolf]
&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; Per your request, attached please find an electronic copy of the AVC
&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; Patent Portfolio License. Please note that the electronic copy of
&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; the License is provided as a convenience and for informational

&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; provided by MPEG LA may be used.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is useful for me to learn, but the reason I asked for the
Internet address of the licensing document was to ensure I could
publish a link to it when I discuss the topic of H.264 licensing here
in Norway, and allow others to verify my observations.  I can not do
the same with an email attachment.  Thus I would like to ask you if it
is OK with MPEG LA that I publish this document on the Internet for
others to read?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; To your question, MPEG LA lists our Licensees on our website
&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; according to each program. The lists are in alphabetical order, so
&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; it is very easy to search.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am afraid this do not help me locate Norwegian companies in the
list of Licensees.  I do not know the name of all companies and
organisations in Norway, and thus do not know how to locate the
Norwegian ones on that list.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; I hope that this was helpful. If we can be of additional assistance,
&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; please let me know.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Absoutely helpful to learn more about how MPEG LA handle licensing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;Happy hacking
&lt;br&gt;Petter Reinholdtsen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jeg håpet også at det skulle være mulig å få vite hvilke av de
mange hundre som har avtale med MPEG-LA om bruk av H.264 som holdt til
i Norge.  Begge mine håp falt i grus med svaret fra MPEG-LA.

&lt;p&gt;Dear Mr. Reinholdtsen,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your reply.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We appreciate the additional explanation you have provided and for
asking our permission to publish the electronic copy of the License in
advance of doing so.  Typically, MPEG LA prefers to distribute the
electronic copies of our Licenses to interested parties. Therefore,
please feel free to send interested parties to the AVC portion of our
website, http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/Intro.aspx for
their further reference.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As previously mentioned, MPEG LA maintains a list of Licensees in good
standing on our website according to each program. Due to the large
volume of Licensees, it would be administratively impractical to
provide this level of detail to interested parties.  Therefore, I am
afraid we are not in a position to assist you with your request.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kind regards,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sidney A. Wolf
&lt;br&gt;Manager, Global Licensing
&lt;br&gt;MPEG LA&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Men takket være epostvedlegget kunne jeg søke på Google etter
setningen &quot;WHEREAS, a video standard commonly referred to as AVC has
been defined and is referred to in this Agreement as the “AVC
Standard” (as more fully defined herein below)&quot; som finnes i avtalen,
og lokalisere en kopi fra 2007 av
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1342960/000119312509050004/dex1024.htm&quot;&gt;lisensavtalen
mellom MPEG-LA og DivX, Inc.&lt;/a&gt;, slik at mine lesere kan se hvordan
avtalen så ut da.  Jeg har ikke sammenlignet tekstene for å se om noe
har endret seg siden den tid, men satser på at teksten er representativ.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jeg aner fortsatt ikke hvor FedEx tok veien med pakken fra
MPEG-LA.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Update 2012-07-06: Jeg er visst ikke den første som forsøker å få
klarhet i problemstillinger rundt H.264, og kom nettopp over en veldig
interessant bloggpost fra 2010 hos LibreVideo med tittelen

et knippe forklaringer til hvorfor det kan gå lang tid før offentlige

&lt;p&gt;NGUS fravær på OEP skyldes problemer vi har i forbindelse med

&lt;p&gt;Hei!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Normalt leverer vi hver virkedag til OEP, med fem virkedagers
forsinkelse.  Kunnskapsdepartementet har imidlertid ikke kunnet levere
OEP pga innføringen av nytt saksbehandlingssystem 7. Mai.  Den
etterfølgende streiken medførte så et større etterslep på
journalføring som har gjort at vi har måttet prioritere dette fremfor
offentlig journal.  Dette arbeidet har av flere sammenfallende årsaker
tatt noe tid.  Vi håper imidlertid på at vi kan begynne å publisere
offentlig journal igjen i løpet av denne uken, senest neste uke.  Vi
gjenopptar da vår vanlige publiseringsfrekvens i tillegg til å få på
plass de manglende journalene.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Det vises til din e-post av 3. juli 2012.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Våre rutiner tilsier at vår journal skal publiseres en gang pr. uke
(hver torsdag). Vi søker så langt det er mulig å få dette til og har
stort sett publisert iht rutinene siden vi kom opp på OEP.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pga ekstraordinære forhold ved vårt arkiv har vi i de siste ukene
ikke hatt kapasitet til å opprettholde den publiseringsfrekvensen vi
har fastsatt. Det er et begrenset antall medarbeidere som kan og skal
kunne publisere våre journaler. Vi håper imidlertid at dette raskt vil
bedres og vi er tilbake til den frekvens vi har satt oss som mål å ha.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Vi beklager hvis dette har skapt vanskeligheter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Like etter at jeg fikk svar ble OEP oppdatert med postjournaler fra
alle disse etatene.  Antagelig tilfeldig, men jeg ser ikke bort fra at
det kan ha virket motiverende for å få på plass leveringen at de ser
at det er interesse for leveringen til OEP.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>I forgårs fikk jeg endelig svar fra Medietilsynet på min epost med
spørmål om hvorfor &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt;
er kryptert på RiksTV.  De toer sine hender:

&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2012 08:15:38 +0000
&lt;br&gt;From: Arve Lindboe &amp;lt;Arve.Lindboe (at) medietilsynet.no&amp;gt;
&lt;br&gt;To: Petter Reinholdtsen
&lt;br&gt;CC: Arthur Garnes &amp;lt;Arthur.Garnes (at) rikstv.no&amp;gt;,
   postmottak (at) sd.dep.no, post (at) frikanalen.no
&lt;br&gt;Subject: Spørsmål om kryptering av Frikanalen i det digitale bakkenetttet for fjernsyn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Vi viser til Deres spørsmål av 27. mai i år til RiksTV,
Samferdselsdepartementet og Medietilsynet, og til RiksTVs svar av
1. juli til Dem, som vi har mottatt i kopi.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For ordens skyld vil vi orientere om at Medietilsynet har visse
tilsynsoppgaver knyttet til kapittel 3 i NTVs konsesjon for
opprettelse og drift av det digitale bakkenettet for fjernsyn. Av
pkt. 3.5 i denne konsesjonen går det bl.a. fram at NRKs
kjernetilbud/allmennkringkastingstilbud... «skal være tilgjengelig
uten betaling og ha lik dekning.» For distribusjon av innhold utenfor
NRKs tilbud er det ikke tatt inn noen tilsvarende forutsetning i
konsesjonen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Medietilsynets mandat omfatter ikke spørsmålet om kryptering og
administrasjon av engangsavgift knyttet til adgangskontrollsystem for
NTVs formidling, og tilsynet kan derfor ikke ta stilling til de
spørsmålene De reiser i tilknytning til det.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mvh&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Arve Lindboe&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;rådgiver,
&lt;br&gt;Medietilsynet&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Her må det tydeligvis andre aktører i sving for å bli kvitt
krypteringen av Frikanalen.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;In the NUUG &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fiksgatami.no/&quot;&gt;FiksGataMi&lt;/a&gt;
project (Norwegian version of
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fixmystreet.com/&quot;&gt;FixMyStreet&lt;/a&gt; from
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mysociety.org/&quot;&gt;mySociety&lt;/a&gt;), we have discovered
a problem with the municipalities using
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zimbra.com/&quot;&gt;Zimbra&lt;/a&gt;.  When FiksGataMi send a
problem report to the government, the email From: address is set to
the address of the person reporting the problem, while envelope sender
is set to the FiksGataMi contact address.  The intention is to make
sure the municipality send any replies to the person reporting the
problem, while any email delivery problems are sent to us in NUUG.
This work well in most cases, but not for Karmøy municipality using
Zimbra.  Karmøy is using the vacation message function in Zimbra to
send an automatic reply to report that the message has been received,
and this message is sent to the envelope sender and not the address in
the From: header.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This causes the automatic message from Karmøy to go to NUUGs
request-tracker instance instead of to the person reporting the
problem.  We can not really change the envelope sender address, as
this would make it impossible for us to discover when there are
problems with the MTAs receiving problem reports.  We have been in
contact with the people at Karmøy municipality, and they are willing
to adjust Zimbra if something can be changed there to get a better
behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The default behaviour of Zimbra is as far as I can tell according
to the specification in RFC 3834, which recommend that vacation
messages are sent to the envelope sender and not to the From: address.
But I wonder if it is possible to adjust or configure Zimbra to behave
differently.  Anyone know?  Please let us know at

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Via Skepsis-bloggen kom jeg i dag over en skremmende og interessant
historie om hvordan norske selgere av sjokoladen Xoçai legger frem
helsepåstander de ikke kan støtte opp med beviser, og kommer med
trusler for å stilne sine kritikere.  Her er et knippe bloggposter som
forteller historien:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://skepsis.no/blog/?p=6522&quot;&gt;Ulovlige
  sjokoladepåstander&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tjomlid.com/2012/06/26/xocai-en-stygg-historie-om-norsk-sjokolademafia/&quot;&gt;Xocai
  – en stygg historie om norsk sjokolademafia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tjomlid.com/?p=6659&quot;&gt;Xocai, en sunn sjokolade? Er
  det helse i hver bit?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tjomlid.com/?p=6654&quot;&gt;30 punkter du bør undersøke
  før du starter som Xocai distributør&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;Historien er så interessant at selgerne fortjener
Streisand-effekten&lt;/p&gt;

                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvem_samler_inn_flest_bensinpriser_.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvem_samler_inn_flest_bensinpriser_.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Mon, 2 Jul 2012 14:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;For ca. en måned siden så jeg på tjenester som forsøker å gjøre det
enklere å ta informerte valg om hvor en skal kjøpe drivstoff, for å
bedre konkurransesituasjonen i drivstoffmarkedet.  Det er tre aktive
tjenester jeg kjenner til.  NAF Bergens
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.drivstoffpriser.no/&quot;&gt;Drivstoffpriser.no&lt;/a&gt;,
Bitfactorys
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitfactory.no/bensinpris.html&quot;&gt;Bensinpris-app&lt;/a&gt;,
og Dinsides
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dinside.no/php/oko/bensin/vis_prisliste.php&quot;&gt;prisliste&lt;/a&gt;.
Nå har jeg holdt øye med alle disse i over en måned, og kan fortelle
hvor mange priser for 95-oktan bensin de har klart å samle inn i juni
2012:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;table border=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Tjeneste&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Antall målinger i juni 2012&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Bitfactorys bensinpris-app&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;7687&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Drivstoffpriser.no&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;1788&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Dinsides prisliste&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;322&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Det er dermed åpenbart at Dinsides tjeneste henger langt etter de
andre to, og at Bitfactorys løsning er den som har størst sjanse for å
gi bileiere gode råd ved kjøp av drivstoff.  Det er ca. 1600
bensinstasjoner i Norge, så optimalt sett burde det vært samlet inn 30
* 1600 = 48 000 priser for å ha maksimalt en dag gamle priser for alle
bensinstasjoner i Norge.  Ingen av tjenestene er i nærheten av å ha
komplett dekning.  Og kun Dinside og NAF Bergens Drivstoffpriser gjør
prisinformasjonen tilgjengelig for alle på Internet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Den store fordelen med Drivstoffpriser.no er at de også har
historiske priser liggende ute på åpne nettsider, slik at det er mulig
å se alle prisdata de har samlet inn så langt.  Jeg har laget
&lt;a href=&quot;https://scraperwiki.com/scrapers/naf-drivstoffpriser/&quot;&gt;en
SQLite-database&lt;/a&gt; med alle prisene samlet inn der, som oppdateres
jevnlig hos Scraperwiki.  Tidligere anbefalte jeg å registrere priser
hos Dinside, men etter å ha utvekslet noen epost med dem og konkludert
med at der kommer det neppe til å skje noen videreutvikling med det
første, anbefaler jeg nå å registrere prisene hos NAF Bergens
drivstoffpriser.no.  Jeg foretrekker å bidra til tjenester som åpent
deler data med andre, og det gjør ikke Bitfactory.&lt;/p&gt;
