The following statement was written by Roberta Cairney, council to The
Perl Foundation. The Perl Foundation has participated in the Jacobsen v.
Katzer as the license in dispute, Artistic 1.0, is very popular in the
Perl community and is one of the licenses under which Perl 5 is released.

A decision was rendered on August 13, 2008 in the Jacobsen v. Katzer case
by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit that wholeheartedly
supports the enforceability of Artistic License 1.0, and open source,
free software, and public licenses generally. This is one of the first
U.S. cases to consider open source issues.

The San Diego fork of the Perl Mongers have a meeting scheduled for
Thursday, 12 August 2008 at 7:00pm. This is the first meeting since I
attended OSCON, so I expect to entertain plenty of questions on that
topic. Including, for those not lucky (insane?) enough to attend as many
Damian Conway talks as I, the meaning of
readline!open!((*{$!},$/)=\$file) and why it should (shouldn't?) be used
it that next big project.

As with most of our meetings, this will be an informal gathering at a
trendy fast casual restaurant. We're a friendly group (really) and all
are welcome, regardless of Perl experience.

Time and location, as always, is available at our [0]web site.
