According to a slashdot.org article Glibc has been incompatible with the Open Source Definition and thus non-Free according to Debian and the FSF until August 18 this year. Due to the fact this affected nearly all of todays GNU/Linux distributions this seems to be a major breakthrough for the whole community. Finally software appearing under the 3-clause BSD license including glibc, portmap and NFS are no longer "tainted" states WebMink. We at TRON-DELTA.ORG think this is really great news especially when considering there was once a time when the Qt-framework was not GPL'ed and the FSF saw the danger that the whole Linux desktop would be dependent on exactly that piece of non-free software, and tried to "kill" KDE as a result. Fortunately the issue was resolved a couple of years later. Some people however pointed out that glibc's non-free level was close to the doesn't-matter edge which may be true from a technical standpoint of view. Nonetheless those hardliners who always said "I wanted to use Linux but Glibc isn't free!" now will likely have their freedom. |

 After a couple of weeks in trouble with some agencys responsible for domain registration the case has finally been solved. Everything has been registered and the network is up and running fine again. Also canonical URLs, routing and language selection have been improoved by our systems department.
From now on tron-delta.org is the only registered and thus officially propagated and supported domain. Earlier registererd domains like the one for Germany (.de) as well as gerneric ones (.net/.info) have been unregistered in an attempt to reduce costs and to unify our organizations domain structure. The change of TLDs also affects our 190+ e-mail account users from Germany. Some accounts had to be closed due to expriation others have been migrated with success recently. |

It is hard to believe, but it was just four years ago that OpenDNS launched. A short time into their quest to make the world's Internet safer, faster, smarter and more reliable, they've grown into the world's largest DNS provider and achieved some unprecedented milestones. |
