Funambol's CEO sees AGPL as essential for FOSS in cloud computing's future

12-09-2008 12:00 PM
"The future of software is in cloud computing," says Fabrizio Capobianco, CEO of Funambol, a company that provides mobile services. And if free and open source software (FOSS) is going to survive in that emerging market, he says, then the community needs to adjust by promoting greater use of the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL), a license specifically crafted for software as a service.

3DEPICT(1)						      General Commands Manual							3DEPICT(1)

NAME

       3Depict - 3D scalar point cloud visualization and analysis

SYNOPSIS

       3depict <file1><file2>...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the 3Depict command

       3depict is a program that allows for visualisation and analysis of point datasets with associated spectral data.

       Note  that  the	program  is a best-effort system. It is by no means guaranteed that the algorithms in this program are free form errors in
       implementation, or follow conventions for any specific user-application.

OPTIONS

       This program has no command line options, other than a sequence of data or XML files to open, the XML files  being  containing  a  previous
       program	state  (this may be generated from within the program's graphical interface). Currently the program can read "POS" (position) for-
       matted files, which are simply uncompressed sequences of 4-byte floats (IEEE 597) in (x,y,z,value) form. All other work is done through the
       graphical interface.

       As a further note, the XML file format has not been stabilised for the 0.0.x series; and may change between revisions
