    " * Posted by amilla on September 14, 2010 at 2:26pm in Improvements to Ning Creators * View Discussions About the exclusion of the music player in the package "ning plus" I would like to inform the management of Ning that I demand from Ning administration to send me an e-mail with all the tracks that are blocked in order to protect the copyrighted material that now is blocked by the company Ning which has no right to withhold them. For these reasons I ask from Ning to send me the music files that was loaded up until the day that Ning music player was free for uploading for all networks. There is need for appropriate administration of music files with responsibility for all of the musicians members of my network. So I demand from Ning to send me all that music files. I am giving to Ning a period of two months to send me all the songs as attachments in the e-mail amilla.gr@gmail.com. Otherwise I have to inform the official intellectual property protecting organization of Greece for unauthorized restriction of intellectual property from the Ning. The same reasoning applies if the music files are deleted from Ning. Thank you and wait for response from Ning. Best regards The administration of www.amilla.gr"

Our aim is to help you decide whether open source software might offer benefits for learning, teaching, engaging pupils and parents, managing information and resources, or school administration. The website provides information and articles about open source software, advice on getting started, case studies of its adoption in schools, a directory for exploring what is available, and a glossary.

  • Legacy procurement rules that insist on indemnity from open source subscription suppliers are an unnecessary barrier to open source adoption.
  • countries claiming they have a policy permitting or even favouring open source software. yet when you actually look at what they are doing, you find that there's still a huge amount of proprietary software being procured
  • typically discriminate against new approaches, which are the "friendly fire" casualties of unintended and unforeseen consequences
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Legacy procurement rules stifle innovation.
  • The reason you need contractual indemnity when you procure proprietary software is you have no other way to attempt to protect yourself against careless or malicious infringement of the rights you or others can reasonably expect to be protected.
  • A company selling a subscription around an open source project isn't actually selling the software.
  • The software is entering their customers' enterprises under the terms of an open source license, direct from the many community participants.
  • as long as there’s a sufficiently diverse community, this is likely to be sufficient risk mitigation.
