This has been added to the bottom of the page since we are unsure of the originator: We have been given the email address of: soup@arbornet.org as the original copyright person. Unfortunately, we have no way of confirming this as yet. We are trying to locate WHO originally wrote this. We took this off the freebsd-config mailing list which is a public mailing list. It seems this David Hoffman is directly attacking our group. Because there are no references to HOUFUG being a part of an organized group to adopt English as the official language. HOUFUG does not have any political ties with anyone. We only have a FreeBSD mailing list to discuss FreeBSD issues. "On a related note, the FUG seems to be part of an organized group to convince all States to adopt English as an official language, a bigoted and misguided policy." I personally have a link to the US English organization on my PERSONAL home page of www.ingridfuller.com. This has nothing to do with HOUFUG or FreeBSD at all. What I believe in is my business and my right as a citizen of the United States. This is NOT a misguided or bigoted policy. We've been speaking English since Day 1 and the International Language is "ENGLISH".

The work in question is indeed copyrightable under the Berne Convention, which many countries have ratified, including the United States, where the content is hosted. The United States, as well as many other countries, also have national laws which allow this work to be copyrighted. It's also important to note that HouFUG clearly believes the work can be copyrighted, since they have included a copyright notice on the page. This implies tremendous bad faith: regardless of whether or not the article is copyrightable (it is), they have removed any reference to the true owner and have claimed it as their own. This is not acceptable behaviour.

Now, I haven't checked the name, mainly because I have not emailed this person; however, regardless of the issues discussed, the FreeBSD doesn't control user groups.

However, most of what you wrote is incorrect. Are you seriously trying to tell us that the author's name is 'Brett Soupman'? That seems like a pseudonym at best. It's hardly clear he's given you permission to republish the work, let alone to claim it as your own. Moreover, due to the copyright notice attributing the page to HOUFUG, exactly who owns the article is ambiguous at best. Sure, Brett owns it, but does HOUFUG own it as well? This isn't at all clear. Additionally, the page in question uses other copyrighted works, including the logos of FreeBSD and Google, without properly attributing them, unless HOUFUG is in some way officially partnered with Google. Finally, you haven't apologized for your egregious, illegal, and tortious act of bad faith, that is, republishing the article without permission of the owner and claiming it was owned by HOULUG. According to archive.org's Wayback Machine, the article has been posted in that extremely misleading way for at least two years. Doesn't the owner deserve a public apology and a clarification posted on that page? It seems to be the least you could do. I'm afraid you think you can get away with this because you think soup's Francophile tendencies make him a target, as per your 'English only' policy.

Therefore I can write a book explaining that "2 + 2 = 4, that is if you take two apples and two oranges and put them in a bushel, you have four pieces of fruit in the bushel" and copyright it. If you were to use this passage from that book then you infringe on my copyright, however if you simply state that 2 + 2 = 4 then you do not. Of course I understand that there are some branches of mathematics and philosophy that might argue that 2 + 2 = 4 is not fact... but I digress.

Derivative work may be a bit of a stretch. A failed attempt at adopting your point of view that facts are actually copyrightable. Math books are descriptive and thus copyrightable, though the facts contained therein are not. The article in question is not at all descriptive. If it were, it would be a different story. It is a 100% factual procedure.

Copyright law does not care about artistic or literary qualities; and while plain facts are not copyrightable, as you point out, their expression certainly is. A Haynes workshop manual, for instance, is neither art nor literature, and it is full of facts, but it is definitely copyrightable. I can put up a web page describing how to change the starter motor on my brother's Citro=EBn CX (bitch of a job, I'll have you know), but I have to use my own words and photos, not those from my brother's Haynes manual.

The concept of a fact obviously may not be copyrighted because it is merely a concept. Barring descriptive literary devices, the facts may be copied at will in their expressed form. A photo, being a descriptive device, is copyrightable. Considering the example of the Haynes manual, I can extract factual information --such as a starter change procedure-- from the manual word-for-word and use it. The hysteria of the original poster remains unjustified as he will find that the usage of the article in question falls squarely under the veil of fair use, which still does not infer the work is copyrightable.

If not malicious, that's certainly an act of bad faith. Moreover, the fact that they added the notice only AFTER being caught red handed does not suggest they weren't being malicious when they stole the article in question. Also, why are you suggesting I'm litigious? I didn't once make reference to any lawsuit. 3) While you might want to refer to me as a name-caller, litigious, and puerile, it's far from clear that FreeBSD doesn't have political ties when the leaders of FreeBSD groups actively campaign for partially restricting people's ability to communicate in any language but English. Even if you ignored these extracuricular activities, though, you'd still be faced with the fact that FreeBSD is de jure politicized in favor of many things, including free software. 4) Discussions of copyright seem appropriate for freebsd-standard, since any reputable organization that publishes material with computers today makes a good faith effort to ensure they do not violate any copyright. It is therefore a de facto standard.

I'm not convinced that you do if you're not even aware of what his name is. And even if Brett Soupman is a pseudonym (which I have seen no indication to support that) the author still has copyright -- something you wish to argue about -- but can grant the use of his work under the pseudonym.

Sure, Brett owns it, but does HOUFUG own it > as well? This isn't at all clear. It is standard practice on the web for site and design copyright to go at the bottom of each page. The fact that this copyright is stated in the same location the site and not the article (as well as the fact that it's on every page) would lead any reasonable person to believe it talks about the website and not the article. Especially considering that valid copyright is now listed on the site in large clear font. You've given strong reason to suspect that you're just trying to stir up trouble and not actually concerned about this copyright issue. If you had been, this would have been approached in a much different manner. I'm not sure if you are upset about the reference on a personal webpage to the English only thing (something surely not supported by the project itself) or have just found a reason to act self-righteous for other purposes. If you are, in fact, representing the copyright holder of this article or any other item on the website, could you please clarify that and stop trying to incite something? -Kevin From owner-freebsd-user-groups@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jun 20 11:59:33 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-user-groups@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-user-groups@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 539EF16A47F for ; Tue, 20 Jun 2006 11:59:33 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from dennisolvany@gmail.com) Received: from wr-out-0506.google.com (wr-out-0506.google.com [64.233.184.232]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A76F343D58 for ; Tue, 20 Jun 2006 11:59:27 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from dennisolvany@gmail.com) Received: by wr-out-0506.google.com with SMTP id i34so1218433wra for ; Tue, 20 Jun 2006 04:59:27 -0700 (PDT) DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=beta; d=gmail.com; h=received:message-id:date:from:user-agent:mime-version:to:cc:subject:references:in-reply-to:content-type:content-transfer-encoding; b=I11QuvmRZkqSPGZZ8uk/02TgcrXm6wQEf+BltxxXOBASbRxOxSQv64xW7XYiW/rn1I98iTn1Di5+BWRiuOrycIh/LFcHlQCQ4jf0sFOskwiPiQCuYqX1ugE0rQIEtaPHausZh/FpudleQiUmgJj74q5QqAdhlkEXGAiXp6NZf+A= Received: by 10.54.61.16 with SMTP id j16mr449978wra; Tue, 20 Jun 2006 04:59:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ?195.16.87.34?
