  24       <div class="date">15th January 2013</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>Yesterday, I wrote about the
  26 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Modalias_strings___a_practical_way_to_map__stuff__to_hardware.html">modalias
  27 values provided by the Linux kernel</a> following my hope for
  28 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Lets_make_hardware_dongles_easier_to_use_in_Debian.html">better
  29 dongle support in Debian</a>.  Using this knowledge, I have tested how
  30 modalias values attached to package names can be used to map packages
  31 to hardware.  This allow the system to look up and suggest relevant
  32 packages when I plug in some new hardware into my machine, and replace
  33 discover and discover-data as the database used to map hardware to
  34 packages.</p>
  35
  36 <p>I create a modaliases file with entries like the following,
  37 containing package name, kernel module name (if relevant, otherwise
  38 the package name) and globs matching the relevant hardware
  39 modalias.</p>
  40
  41 <p><blockquote>
  42 Package: package-name
  43 <br>Modaliases: module(modaliasglob, modaliasglob, modaliasglob)</p>
  44 </blockquote></p>
  45
  46 <p>It is fairly trivial to write code to find the relevant packages
  47 for a given modalias value using this file.</p>
  48
  49 <p>An entry like this would suggest the video and picture application
  50 cheese for many USB web cameras (interface bus class 0E01):</p>
  51
  52 <p><blockquote>
  53 Package: cheese
  54 <br>Modaliases: cheese(usb:v*p*d*dc*dsc*dp*ic0Eisc01ip*)</p>
  55 </blockquote></p>
  56
  57 <p>An entry like this would suggest the pcmciautils package when a
  58 CardBus bridge (bus class 0607) PCI device is present:</p>
  59
  60 <p><blockquote>
  61 Package: pcmciautils
  62 <br>Modaliases: pcmciautils(pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc06sc07i*)
  63 </blockquote></p>
  64
  65 <p>An entry like this would suggest the package colorhug-client when
  66 plugging in a ColorHug with USB IDs 04D8:F8DA:</p>
  67
  68 <p><blockquote>
  69 Package: colorhug-client
  70 <br>Modaliases: colorhug-client(usb:v04D8pF8DAd*)</p>
  71 </blockquote></p>
  72
  73 <p>I believe the format is compatible with the format of the Packages
  74 file in the Debian archive.  Ubuntu already uses their Packages file
  75 to store their mappings from packages to hardware.</p>
  76
  77 <p>By adding a XB-Modaliases: header in debian/control, any .deb can
  78 announce the hardware it support in a way my prototype understand.
  79 This allow those publishing packages in an APT source outside the
  80 Debian archive as well as those backporting packages to make sure the
  81 hardware mapping are included in the package meta information.  I've
  82 tested such header in the pymissile package, and its modalias mapping
  83 is working as it should with my prototype.  It even made it to Ubuntu
  84 Raring.</p>
  85
  86 <p>To test if it was possible to look up supported hardware using only
  87 the shell tools available in the Debian installer, I wrote a shell
  88 implementation of the lookup code.  The idea is to create files for
  89 each modalias and let the shell do the matching.  Please check out and
  90 try the
  91 <a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/hw-support-lookup?view=co">hw-support-lookup</a>
  92 shell script.  It run without any extra dependencies and fetch the
  93 hardware mappings from the Debian archive and the subversion
  94 repository where I currently work on my prototype.</p>
  95
  96 <p>When I use it on a machine with a yubikey inserted, it suggest to
  97 install yubikey-personalization:</p>
  98
  99 <p><blockquote>
 100 % ./hw-support-lookup
 101 <br>yubikey-personalization
 102 <br>%
 103 </blockquote></p>
 104
 105 <p>When I run it on my Thinkpad X40 with a PCMCIA/CardBus slot, it
 106 propose to install the pcmciautils package:</p>
 107
 108 <p><blockquote>
 109 % ./hw-support-lookup
 110 <br>pcmciautils
 111 <br>%
 112 </blockquote></p>
 113
 114 <p>If you know of any hardware-package mapping that should be added to
 115 <a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/modaliases?view=co">my
 116 database</a>, please tell me about it.</p>
 117
 118 <p>It could be possible to generate several of the mappings between
 119 packages and hardware.  One source would be to look at packages with
 120 kernel modules, ie packages with *.ko files in /lib/modules/, and
 121 extract their modalias information.  Another would be to look at
 122 packages with udev rules, ie packages with files in
 123 /lib/udev/rules.d/, and extract their vendor/model information to
 124 generate a modalias matching rule.  I have not tested any of these to
 125 see if it work.</p>
 126
 127 <p>If you want to help implementing a system to let us propose what
 128 packages to install when new hardware is plugged into a Debian
 129 machine, please send me an email or talk to me on
 130 <a href="irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-devel">#debian-devel</a>.</p>

 145       <div class="body"><p>While looking into how to look up Debian packages based on hardware
 146 information, to find the packages that support a given piece of
 147 hardware, I refreshed my memory regarding modalias values, and decided
 148 to document the details.  Here are my findings so far, also available
 149 in
 150 <a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/">the
 151 Debian Edu subversion repository</a>:

 153 <p><strong>Modalias decoded</strong></p>
 154
 155 <p>This document try to explain what the different types of modalias
 156 values stands for.  It is in part based on information from
 157 &lt;URL: <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Modalias">https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Modalias</a> &gt;,
 158 &lt;URL: <a href="http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/26132/how-to-assign-usb-driver-to-device">http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/26132/how-to-assign-usb-driver-to-device</a> &gt;,

 161
 162 <p>The modalias entries for a given Linux machine can be found using
 163 this shell script:</p>
 164
 165 <pre>
 166 find /sys -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat | sort -u
 167 </pre>
 168
 169 <p>The supported modalias globs for a given kernel module can be found
 170 using modinfo:</p>
 171
 172 <pre>
 173 % /sbin/modinfo psmouse | grep alias:
 174 alias:          serio:ty05pr*id*ex*
 175 alias:          serio:ty01pr*id*ex*
 176 %
 177 </pre>
 178
 179 <p><strong>PCI subtype</strong></p>
 180
 181 <p>A typical PCI entry can look like this.  This is an Intel Host
 182 Bridge memory controller:</p>
 183
 184 <p><blockquote>
 185 pci:v00008086d00002770sv00001028sd000001ADbc06sc00i00
 186 </blockquote></p>
 187
 188 <p>This represent these values:</p>
 189
 190 <pre>
 191  v   00008086  (vendor)
 192  d   00002770  (device)
 193  sv  00001028  (subvendor)
 194  sd  000001AD  (subdevice)
 195  bc  06        (bus class)
 196  sc  00        (bus subclass)
 197  i   00        (interface)
 198 </pre>
 199
 200 <p>The vendor/device values are the same values outputted from 'lspci
 201 -n' as 8086:2770.  The bus class/subclass is also shown by lspci as
 202 0600.  The 0600 class is a host bridge.  Other useful bus values are
 203 0300 (VGA compatible card) and 0200 (Ethernet controller).</p>
 204
 205 <p>Not sure how to figure out the interface value, nor what it
 206 means.</p>
 207
 208 <p><strong>USB subtype</strong></p>
 209
 210 <p>Some typical USB entries can look like this.  This is an internal
 211 USB hub in a laptop:</p>
 212
 213 <p><blockquote>
 214 usb:v1D6Bp0001d0206dc09dsc00dp00ic09isc00ip00
 215 </blockquote></p>
 216
 217 <p>Here is the values included in this alias:</p>
 218
 219 <pre>
 220  v    1D6B  (device vendor)
 221  p    0001  (device product)
 222  d    0206  (bcddevice)
 223  dc     09  (device class)
 224  dsc    00  (device subclass)
 225  dp     00  (device protocol)
 226  ic     09  (interface class)
 227  isc    00  (interface subclass)
 228  ip     00  (interface protocol)
 229 </pre>
 230
 231 <p>The 0900 device class/subclass means hub.  Some times the relevant
 232 class is in the interface class section.  For a simple USB web camera,
 233 these alias entries show up:</p>
 234
 235 <p><blockquote>
 236 usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic01isc01ip00
 237 <br>usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic01isc02ip00
 238 <br>usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic0Eisc01ip00
 239 <br>usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic0Eisc02ip00
 240 </blockquote></p>
 241
 242 <p>Interface class 0E01 is video control, 0E02 is video streaming (aka
 243 camera), 0101 is audio control device and 0102 is audio streaming (aka
 244 microphone).  Thus this is a camera with microphone included.</p>
 245
 246 <p><strong>ACPI subtype</strong></p>
 247
 248 <p>The ACPI type is used for several non-PCI/USB stuff.  This is an IR
 249 receiver in a Thinkpad X40:</p>
 250
 251 <p><blockquote>
 252 acpi:IBM0071:PNP0511:
 253 </blockquote></p>
 254
 255 <p>The values between the colons are IDs.</p>
 256
 257 <p><strong>DMI subtype</strong></p>
 258
 259 <p>The DMI table contain lots of information about the computer case
 260 and model.  This is an entry for a IBM Thinkpad X40, fetched from
 261 /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/modalias:</p>
 262
 263 <p><blockquote>
 264 dmi:bvnIBM:bvr1UETB6WW(1.66):bd06/15/2005:svnIBM:pn2371H4G:pvrThinkPadX40:rvnIBM:rn2371H4G:rvrNotAvailable:cvnIBM:ct10:cvrNotAvailable:

 281  cvr  NotAvailable   (chassis version)
 282 </pre>
 283
 284 <p>The chassis type 10 is Notebook.  Other interesting values can be
 285 found in the dmidecode source:</p>
 286
 287 <pre>
 288   3 Desktop
 289   4 Low Profile Desktop
 290   5 Pizza Box
 291   6 Mini Tower
 292   7 Tower

 311  26 CompactPCI
 312  27 AdvancedTCA
 313  28 Blade
 314  29 Blade Enclosing
 315 </pre>
 316
 317 <p>The chassis type values are not always accurately set in the DMI
 318 table.  For example my home server is a tower, but the DMI modalias
 319 claim it is a desktop.</p>
 320
 321 <p><strong>SerIO subtype</strong></p>
 322
 323 <p>This type is used for PS/2 mouse plugs.  One example is from my
 324 test machine:</p>
 325
 326 <p><blockquote>
 327 serio:ty01pr00id00ex00
 328 </blockquote></p>
 329
 330 <p>The values present are</p>
 331
 332 <pre>
 333   ty  01  (type)
 334   pr  00  (prototype)
 335   id  00  (id)
 336   ex  00  (extra)
 337 </pre>
 338
 339 <p>This type is supported by the psmouse driver.  I am not sure what
 340 the valid values are.</p>
 341
 342 <p><strong>Other subtypes</strong></p>
 343
 344 <p>There are heaps of other modalias subtypes according to
 345 file2alias.c.  There is the rest of the list from that source: amba,
 346 ap, bcma, ccw, css, eisa, hid, i2c, ieee1394, input, ipack, isapnp,
 347 mdio, of, parisc, pcmcia, platform, scsi, sdio, spi, ssb, vio, virtio,
 348 vmbus, x86cpu and zorro.  I did not spend time documenting all of
 349 these, as they do not seem relevant for my intended use with mapping
 350 hardware to packages when new stuff is inserted during run time.</p>
 351
 352 <p><strong>Looking up kernel modules using modalias values</strong></p>
 353
 354 <p>To check which kernel modules provide support for a given modalias,
 355 one can use the following shell script:</p>
 356
 357 <pre>
 358   for id in $(find /sys -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat | sort -u); do \
 359     echo "$id" ; \
 360     /sbin/modprobe --show-depends "$id"|sed 's/^/  /' ; \
 361   done
 362 </pre>
 363
 364 <p>The output can look like this (only the first few entries as the
 365 list is very long on my test machine):</p>
 366
 367 <pre>
 368   acpi:ACPI0003:

 406       <div class="body"><p>As part of my investigation on how to improve the support in Debian
 407 for hardware dongles, I dug up my old Mark and Spencer USB Rocket
 408 Launcher and updated the Debian package
 409 <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/pymissile">pymissile</a> to make
 410 sure udev will fix the device permissions when it is plugged in.  I
 411 also added a "Modaliases" header to test it in the Debian archive and
 412 hopefully make the package be proposed by jockey in Ubuntu when a user
 413 plug in his rocket launcher.  In the process I moved the source to a
 414 git repository under collab-maint, to make it easier for any DD to
 415 contribute.  <a href="http://code.google.com/p/pymissile/">Upstream</a>
 416 is not very active, but the software still work for me even after five
 417 years of relative silence.  The new git repository is not listed in
 418 the uploaded package yet, because I want to test the other changes a
 419 bit more before I upload the new version.  If you want to check out
 420 the new version with a .desktop file included, visit the

 437       <div class="date"> 9th January 2013</div>
 438       <div class="body"><p>One thing that annoys me with Debian and Linux distributions in
 439 general, is that there is a great package management system with the
 440 ability to automatically install software packages by downloading them
 441 from the distribution mirrors, but no way to get it to automatically
 442 install the packages I need to use the hardware I plug into my
 443 machine.  Even if the package to use it is easily available from the
 444 Linux distribution.  When I plug in a LEGO Mindstorms NXT, it could
 445 suggest to automatically install the python-nxt, nbc and t2n packages
 446 I need to talk to it.  When I plug in a Yubikey, it could propose the
 447 yubikey-personalization package.  The information required to do this
 448 is available, but no-one have pulled all the pieces together.</p>
 449
 450 <p>Some years ago, I proposed to
 451 <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/05/msg01206.html">use
 452 the discover subsystem to implement this</a>.  The idea is fairly
 453 simple:
 454
 455 <ul>
 456
 457 <li>Add a desktop entry in /usr/share/autostart/ pointing to a program
 458   starting when a user log in.</li>
 459
 460 <li>Set this program up to listen for kernel events emitted when new
 461   hardware is inserted into the computer.</li>
 462
 463 <li>When new hardware is inserted, look up the hardware ID in a
 464   database mapping to packages, and take note of any non-installed
 465   packages.</li>
 466
 467 <li>Show a message to the user proposing to install the discovered
 468   package, and make it easy to install it.</li>
 469
 470 </ul>
 471
 472 <p>I am not sure what the best way to implement this is, but my
 473 initial idea was to use dbus events to discover new hardware, the
 474 discover database to find packages and
 475 <a href="http://www.packagekit.org/">PackageKit</a> to install
 476 packages.</p>
 477
 478 <p>Yesterday, I found time to try to implement this idea, and the
 479 draft package is now checked into
 480 <a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/">the
 481 Debian Edu subversion repository</a>.  In the process, I updated the
 482 <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/discover-data.html">discover-data</a>
 483 package to map the USB ids of LEGO Mindstorms and Yubikey devices to
 484 the relevant packages in Debian, and uploaded a new version
 485 2.2013.01.09 to unstable.  I also discovered that the current
 486 <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/discover.html">discover</a>
 487 package in Debian no longer discovered any USB devices, because
 488 /proc/bus/usb/devices is no longer present.  I ported it to use
 489 libusb as a fall back option to get it working.  The fixed package
 490 version 2.1.2-6 is now in experimental (didn't upload it to unstable
 491 because of the freeze).</p>
 492
 493 <p>With this prototype in place, I can insert my Yubikey, and get this
 494 desktop notification to show up (only once, the first time it is
 495 inserted):</p>
 496
 497 <p align="center"><img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-01-09-hw-autoinstall.png"></p>
 498
 499 <p>For this prototype to be really useful, some way to automatically
 500 install the proposed packages by pressing the "Please install
 501 program(s)" button should to be implemented.</p>
 502
 503 <p>If this idea seem useful to you, and you want to help make it
 504 happen, please help me update the discover-data database with mappings
 505 from hardware to Debian packages.  Check if 'discover-pkginstall -l'
 506 list the package you would like to have installed when a given
 507 hardware device is inserted into your computer, and report bugs using
 508 reportbug if it isn't.  Or, if you know of a better way to provide
 509 such mapping, please let me know.</p>
 510
 511 <p>This prototype need more work, and there are several questions that
 512 should be considered before it is ready for production use.  Is dbus
 513 the correct way to detect new hardware?  At the moment I look for HAL
 514 dbus events on the system bus, because that is the events I could see
 515 on my Debian Squeeze KDE desktop.  Are there better events to use?
 516 How should the user be notified?  Is the desktop notification
 517 mechanism the best option, or should the background daemon raise a
 518 popup instead?  How should packages be installed?  When should they
 519 not be installed?</p>
 520
 521 <p>If you want to help getting such feature implemented in Debian,
 522 please send me an email. :)</p>

 671 <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux / Debian Edu</a>
 672 project also this year received a Christmas present from Another
 673 Agency in Trondheim.  NOK 1000,- showed up on our donation account
 674 December 24th.  I want to express our thanks for this very welcome
 675 present.  As the Debian Edu / Skolelinux project is very short on
 676 funding these days, and thus lack the money to do regular developer
 677 gatherings, this donation was most welcome.  One developer gathering
 678 cost around NOK 15&nbsp;000,-, so we need quite a lot more to keep the
 679 development pace we want.  Thus, I hope their example this year is
 680 followed by many others. :)</p>

 703 <p><a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/">Bitcoin</a>, the digital
 704 decentralised "currency" that allow people to transfer bitcoins
 705 between each other with minimal overhead, is a very interesting
 706 experiment.  And as I wrote a few days ago, the bitcoin situation in
 707 <a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</a> is about to improve a bit.
 708 The <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/bitcoin">new debian source
 709 package</a> (version 0.7.2-2) was uploaded yesterday, and is waiting
 710 in <a href="http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html">the NEW queue</A>
 711 for one of the ftpmasters to approve the new bitcoin-qt package
 712 name.</p>
 713
 714 <p>And thanks to the great work of Jonas and the rest of the bitcoin
 715 team in Debian, you can easily test the package in Debian Squeeze
 716 using the following steps to get a set of working packages:</p>
 717
 718 <blockquote><pre>
 719 git clone git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/bitcoin
 720 cd bitcoin
 721 DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noupnp fakeroot debian/rules clean
 722 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noupnp git-buildpackage --git-ignore-new
 723 </pre></blockquote>
 724
 725 <p>You might have to install some build dependencies as well.  The
 726 list of commands should give you two packages, bitcoind and
 727 bitcoin-qt, ready for use in a Squeeze environment.  Note that the
 728 client will download the complete set of bitcoin "blocks", which need
 729 around 5.6 GiB of data on my machine at the moment.  Make sure your
 730 ~/.bitcoin/ directory have lots of spare room if you want to download
 731 all the blocks.  The client will warn if the disk is getting full, so
 732 there is not really a problem if you got too little room, but you will
 733 not be able to get all the features out of the client.</p>
 734
 735 <p>As usual, if you use bitcoin and want to show your support of my
 736 activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address

 751       <div class="date">21st December 2012</div>
 752       <div class="body"><p>It has been a while since I wrote about
 753 <a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/">bitcoin</a>, the decentralised
 754 peer-to-peer based crypto-currency, and the reason is simply that I
 755 have been busy elsewhere.  But two days ago, I started looking at the
 756 state of <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/bitcoin">bitcoin in
 757 Debian</a> again to try to recover my old bitcoin wallet.  The package
 758 is now maintained by a
 759 <a href="https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-bitcoin/">team of
 760 people</a>, and the grunt work had already been done by this team.  We
 761 owe a huge thank you to all these team members. :)
 762 But I was sad to discover that the bitcoin client is missing in
 763 Wheezy.  It is only available in Sid (and an outdated client from
 764 backports).  The client had several RC bugs registered in BTS blocking
 765 it from entering testing.  To try to help the team and improve the
 766 situation, I spent some time providing patches and triaging the bug
 767 reports.  I also had a look at the bitcoin package available from Matt
 768 Corallo in a
 769 <a href="https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin">PPA for
 770 Ubuntu</a>, and moved the useful pieces from that version into the
 771 Debian package.</p>
 772
 773 <p>After checking with the main package maintainer Jonas Smedegaard on
 774 IRC, I pushed several patches into the collab-maint git repository to
 775 improve the package.  It now contains fixes for the RC issues (not from
 776 me, but fixed by Scott Howard), build rules for a Qt GUI client
 777 package, konqueror support for the bitcoin: URI and bash completion
 778 setup.  As I work on Debian Squeeze, I also created
 779 <a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-bitcoin-devel/Week-of-Mon-20121217/000041.html">a
 780 patch to backport</a> the latest version.  Jonas is going to look at
 781 it and try to integrate it into the git repository before uploading a
 782 new version to unstable.
 783
 784 <p>I would very much like bitcoin to succeed, to get rid of the
 785 centralized control currently exercised in the monetary system.  I
 786 find it completely unacceptable that the USA government is collecting
 787 transaction data for almost all international money transfers (most are done in USD and transaction logs shipped to the spooks), and
 788 that the major credit card companies can block legal money
 789 transactions to Wikileaks.  But for bitcoin to succeed, more people
 790 need to use bitcoins, and more people need to accept bitcoins when
 791 they sell products and services.  Improving the bitcoin support in
 792 Debian is a small step in the right direction, but not enough.
 793 Unfortunately the user experience when browsing the web and wanting to
 794 pay with bitcoin is still not very good.  The bitcoin: URI is a step
 795 in the right direction, but need to work in most or every browser in
 796 use.  Also the bitcoin-qt client is too heavy to fire up to do a
 797 quick transaction.  I believe there are other clients available, but
 798 have not tested them.</p>
 799
 800 <p>My
 801 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Now_accepting_bitcoins___anonymous_and_distributed_p2p_crypto_money.html">experiment

 806 on the blockexplorer service</a>.  Thank you everyone for your
 807 donation.  The blockexplorer service demonstrates quite well that
 808 bitcoin is not quite anonymous and untracked. :) I wonder if the
 809 number of users have gone up since then.  If you use bitcoin and want
 810 to show your support of my activity, please send Bitcoin donations to
 811 the same address as last time,

 826       <div class="date">19th December 2012</div>
 827       <div class="body"><p>Jeg ble overrasket over å se at Piratpartiet i
 828 <a href="http://www.aftenposten.no/kultur/Piratpartiet-stiller-til-Stortingsvalget-7073298.html">Aftenposten</a>
 829 er referert på følgende:</p>
 830
 831 <blockquote>
 832 Når det gjelder retten til opphavsrett for kulturproduktene, mener
 833 Piratpartiet av levetid + 14 år er tilfredsstillende.
 834 </blockquote>
 835
 836 <p>Det betyr en vernetid langt ut over det kommersielle livet til de
 837 aller fleste opphavsrettsbeskyttede verker, og er i strid med slik i
 838 hvert fall jeg har tolket punkt 5 i
 839 <a href="http://people.opera.com/howcome/2012/piratpartiet/kjerneprogram.html">kjerneprogrammet
 840 til Piratpartiet</a>:</p>
 841
 842 <blockquote>
 843 <p><strong>5: Åndsverk og patenter: tilbake til start</strong></p>
 844
 845 <table border="1">
 846 <tr><th>forslag:</th><td>14 års opphavsrett og ingen
 847 programvarepatenter</td></tr>
 848
 849 <tr><th>grunn:</th><td>Den første loven om opphavsrett spesifiserte 14
 850 års vernetid. Senere har mediabransjens lobbyister stadig presset
 851 loven mot lengre vern, nå er det 70 år etter forfatters død. Dette
 852 gjør at mange verk glemmes og går tapt, noe som er skadelig for norsk
 853 språk og kultur. Vi til tilbake til start: 14 års
 854 vernetid. Patentloven sier klart at dataprogrammer ikke kan
 855 patenteres. Likevel klarer patentadvokater å lure gjennom
 856 programvarepatenter. Slike patenter gjør dingsene våre dyrere og kan i
 857 enkelte tilfelle stoppe dem helt.</th></tr>
 858 </table>
 859 </blockquote>
 860
 861 <p>Den opprinnelige opphavsretten var på 14 år totalt, ikke 14 år
 862 etter opphavspersonens død.  Jeg tenkte først dette kanskje var
 863 feilsitering fra Aftenposten, men jeg finner samme påstand i en <a
 864 href="http://piratpartietnorge.org/om-gramo-og-piratpolitikken/">bloggpost
 865 fra Geir Aaslid</a> på Piratpartietes offisielle nettsider.  Der
 866 skriver han følgende:</p>
 867
 868 <blockquote>
 869 Hva vi gjør med opphavsretten er mer komplisert fordi den omfavner så
 870 mange bransjer, med ulike behov. Enhver reform er en forbedring men
 871 det er nærliggende å anta at en opphavsrett på levetid + 14 år er
 872 fullt ut tilfredstillende for musikk, film, litteratur og spill.
 873 </blockquote>
 874
 875 <p>Det virker dermed på meg som om Piratpartiet allerede har gjort
 876 retrett fra sin beundringsverdige holdning om at det holdt med 14 års
 877 total vernetid, til sin nye som tar utgangspunkt i levetiden til
 878 opphavspersonen.  Jeg håper det baserer seg på en misforståelse hos
 879 piratlederen som blir korrigert tilbake til 14 års total vernetid før
 880 partiet stiller til valg.</p>
 881
 882 <p>Hvis du lurer på hvilke problemer lang vernetid bringer med seg,
 883 anbefaler jeg å lese boken <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free
 884 Culture</a> av Lawrence Lessig.  Jeg og en liten gruppe andre er igang
 885 med å
 886 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">oversette
 887 boken til bokmål</a> og tar gjerne imot hjelp med oversettelse og
 888 korrekturlesing.</p>
 889
 890 <p><strong>Oppdatering 2012-12-20</strong>: Oppdaget at
 891 <a href="http://piratpartietnorge.org/om-gramo-og-piratpolitikken/">bloggposten
 892 til Geir Aaslid</a> er endret siden i går, og nå inneholder følgende
 893 avsnitt i stedet for det jeg siterte over:</p>
 894
 895 <blockquote>
 896 Hva vi gjør med opphavsretten er mer komplisert fordi den omfavner så
 897 mange bransjer, med ulike behov. Enhver reform er en forbedring men
 898 det er nærliggende å anta at en opphavsrett lik levetiden, evt + 14 år
 899 er fullt ut tilfredstillende for mange skapere av musikk, film,
 900 litteratur og spill. Det er for det meste de store forlagene som er
 901 imot enhver reform.
 902 </blockquote>
 903
 904 <p>I tillegg har det dukket opp en setning nederst "Dette dokumentet
 905 er et utkast til svar på et angrep på Piratpartiet fra Gramo. Det
 906 endrer seg derfor over tid og den endelige versjonen er det som blir
 907 publisert på Hardware.no", som tyder på at originalformuleringen ikke
 908 var veloverveid og sitatet i Aftenposten kanskje var basert på en
 909 misforståelse.</p>
