  • The Intel Management Engine: an Attack on Computer Users' Freedom by Denis Gnutoo Carikli
    A statement by FSF President Richard Stallman on the Intel Management Engine (ME): "Meltdown and Spectre are errors. Grave errors, to be sure, but not evidently malicious. Everyone makes mistakes. Intel has done far worse with its CPUs than make a mistake. It has built in an intentional back door called the Management Engine. Important as these bugs are, don©t let Intel©s mistakes distract you from Intel©s deliberate attack!" The Intel Management Engine: an attack on computer users© freedom By Denis GNUtoo Carikli With security issues like the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities (https://www.cnet.com/news/meltdown-spectre-intel-ceo-no-recall-chip-processor/) discovered in Intel chips in early 2018, it became more important than ever to talk about the necessity of software freedom in these deeply embedded technologies. Serious as though these bugs may be, we cannot let them distract us from the broader issues: Intel considers the Intel Management Engine a feature, while it©s nothing more than a threat to user freedom. Thanks to Denis GNUtoo Carikli, we have a new basis for that conversation in this article. The Intel Management Engine is a tool that ships with Intel chipsets, purportedly to ease the job of system administrators. But in reality, it is another restriction on user freedoms, imposed by a company, and used to control your computing. Carikli offers a moderately technical explanation of what©s happening with Management Engine, the ways in which it restricts rather than empowers users, and how it violates the four freedoms of free software. Carikli may be best known for his work on the Replicant project (https://www.replicant.us/), which he co-founded with Aaron Williamson, Bradley Kuhn, and Grazlano Sorbaioli.

SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW A PRIMER ON OPEN SOURCE LICENSING LEGAL ISSUES: COPYRIGHT, COPYLEFT AND COPYFUTURE DENNIS M. KENNEDY* Open Source1 software has recently captured the public attention both because of the attractiveness and growing market share of programs developed under the Open Source model and because of its unique approach to software licensing and community-based programming. The description of Open Source software as “free” and the free price of some of the software undoubtedly attracted other attention. The Open Source movement reflects the intent of its founders to turn traditional notions of copyright, software licensing, distribution, development and even ownership on their heads, even to the point of creating the term “copyleft” to describe the alternative approach to these issues.2 Open Source software plays a significant role in the infrastructure of the Internet and Open Source programs such as Linux, Apache, and BIND are commonly used tools in the Internet and business * Dennis M.

  • Chapter 2 Unix
    Chapter 2 Unix UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity. –DennisRitchie 2.1 Unix History For many people the term “System Administrator” implies operation of Unix systems, even though the same concepts, tasks and practices apply largely to the maintenance of hosts running any operating system. In this book, we strive to describe principles that are universally applicable and not bound by a specific operating system. We will regularly use Unix as the prime example and cite its features and specific aspects because of its academic background, long history of openness, high penetration of the infrastructure marketplace, and its role as a cornerstone of the Internet. 2.1.1 The Operating System How the Unix operating system came to be and how that relates to the de- velopment of the Internet and various related technologies is fascinating; just 28 CHAPTER 2. UNIX 29 about every other Unix-related book already covers this topic in great detail. In this chapter, we summarize these developments with a focus on the major milestones along the road from the birth of Unix as a test platform for Ken Thompson’s “Space Travel” game running on a PDP-7 to the most widely used server operating system that nowadays also happens to power consumer desktops and laptops (in the form of Linux and Apple’s OS X), mobile de- vices (Apple’s iOS is OS X based and thus Unix derived; Google’s Android is a Linux flavor), TVs, commodity home routers, industry scale networking equipment, embedded devices on the Internet of Things (IoT), and virtually all supercomputers1.

  • The MIT, BSD, Apache, and Academic Free Licenses
    CHAPTER 2 Chapter 2 u The MIT, BSD, Apache, and Academic Free Licenses The MIT and BSD Licenses were two of the earliest open source licenses. Because these licenses are relatively straightforward and illustrate some of the basic princi- ples of open source licensing, they are described here first. The MIT (or X), BSD, and Apache Licenses are classic open source licensing software licenses and are used in many open source projects. The most well-known of these are probably the BSDNet and FreeBSD Unix-like operating systems and the Apache HTTP Server. These licenses, as applied to the original licensed code, allow that code to be used in proprietary software and do not require that open source versions of the code be dis- tributed. Code created under these licenses, or derived from such code, may go “closed” and developments can be made under that proprietary license, which are lost to the open source community. For the same reason, however, these licenses are very flexible and compatible with almost every form of open source license. If you’re interested in licenses that keep code from being used in pro- prietary software, look ahead to Chapter 3. The Academic Free License is a somewhat more elaborate license, embodying many of the same provisions found in the MIT, BSD, and Apache Licenses; in addition, it includes certain clauses addressing the application of patent rights to open source software. The MIT (or X) License The MIT License, the simplest license in this book, begins as follows: Copyright (c) <year> <copyright holders> Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the “Software”), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, 14 This is the Title of the Book, eMatter Edition Copyright © 2004 O’Reilly & Associates, Inc.
