【Seminar Registration】Humanitarian FOSS and Rapid Application Development（人道主義自由軟體與應用軟體快速開發）

* Topic Information:

Information technology can improve the efficiency of disaster
management. An information platform that collects data from all
stakeholders involved in disaster response can provide precise
information needed for all parties. With the unpredictable nature of
disaster, HFOSS (Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software) that bears
a collaborative and humanitarian spirit, complies with the current
disaster management needs.

Being responsive is the key to disaster management, therefore, finding
a way to quickly develop software applications which are consistent
with the needs in disaster scenarios is the challenge for humanitarian
free software programmers. Fortunately, rapid application
development (RAD) provides the right methodology toward the purpose.

Speakers:

Michael Howden and Fran Boon have involved in several disaster relief
efforts and are going to share their experiences and insights about
Humanitarian FOSS and Rapid Application Development.  Presentation
outline is as follows:

請問一下
有沒有任何資訊顯示 Westinghouse Digital Technologies 等公司是如何違反 GPL 的？例如是完全不釋出原始碼？還 是只釋出了部份，但不被 Busybox 等原告團體認可？
如果能有進一步資訊，也許能讓國 內做嵌入式系統的廠商更能理解如 何遵循 GPL。

從找到的新聞資料看來，West inghouse Digital Technologies 等公司應該是沒有提供原始程式碼 。
