http://slashdot.org/story/99/06/23/1313224/FeatureGPL-vs-BSD

Well, as usual, most folks appear to have missed one of the key points that makes the BSD license do so much good for the world. The BSD license, by allowing people to use its code in commerical products, promotes commercial products following open standards.

The classic example is TCP/IP. There are a lot of commercial products out there using the Berkeley TCP/IP stack, and one of the big reasons for that is that it's cheaper than developing their own protocol stack or even buying one. The value we see from this is the network effect; that a device communicates using the Berkeley TCP/IP stack rather than Novell's IPX stack or Microsoft's networking stack benefits all of us, because we can much more easily communicate with it (even, perhaps, in ways that the author did not intend).

Open standards are even more important to freedom for computer users than open source. (Having source code is nice, but it's not much good if it doesn't permit you to interoperate with other platforms out there. Linux is popular because it talks to other computers.) Therefore, I'd say that the Berkeley license has done more than any other licence to bring us to the state today where we have a lot of freedom in our computing choices.

Free space optics
With http://ronja.twibright.com unlimited repeater nodes are possible, it functions as a layer-3 switch. String 70 http://ronja.twibright.com's down multiple roads on the drive-ways, allowing road CCTV, OpenTLD. One would probably have to use Infra-red LEDS to avoid the Ronja's looking like traffic lights. Mount the Ronja's high enough to avoid a red light. The light is only visible if directly in front of the Ronja, because of the directed beam focused with the jewelers loupes.

Robotics and Aerial drones

 * UavAirframes A few hundred UavAirframes fitted with cheap $350 IMU from RateGyro and un-cooled ThermalImagingCameras streaming images over a 400Mhz WiMax link, patrolling the major Afghanistan routes will prevent IED attacks. With FpGa real-time image stabilization is done on the Mpeg4Compression stream, negating cross winds destabilizing the video image.

Hover a quad drone above a farmers at about 20meters, with flashing LEDS. It provides immediate visuals of any situation he might be in. The OpenTLD object tracking system tracks the farmer automatically as well as wth GPS signals from the farmer. A farmer wears a panic button as well as heart rate monitor so that if shot dead an automatic alert is sent. Heart rate monitor indicates only if the heart is beating or not.

Securing perimeter
Seeming Solution: Share a QuadroCopter copter between multiple homes. Each residence places as many InfraRedLeds connected to a CAN or RS485 alarm system across perimeters.

Long distance InfraRedLeds barriers are aligned parallel with the house perimeter between the tar road and wall junction, as close to the wall as possible. As people walk their normal routes on the road or slightly on the pavement, it won't break the beams. On a beam braking a foam model plane fitted with opensource DIY Sasecurity circling the houses 24hours a day flies to the intrusion point to take a phote or small video clip. Footage is viewed in real-time over the Internet.

The drone operates a small 0.003 Watec CCD camera combined with infra-red laser and dispersion lens. Allows vision over 300m. Drone patrols a route taking pictures every second. Software combines the pictures with no border overlap.

It convinces intruders that they won't be able to flee from an incident. On any oThe QuadroCopter perches on the roof junction or walls flashing blue leds as a warning to criminals walking in the street. This will be the visual drone in addition to many other unseen drones.

If the barrier InfraRedLeds beams break, the drone flies to the intrusion point relaying a real-time video feed via some appropriate wireless signal to the base. The drone could sound a buzzer above the intruders head to prevent an incident and follow him as he tries to flee.

Some foam based electric ducted fan (EDF) models can fly over 200km/h to chase after intruders fleeing with high speed vehicles. Foam based models must be used in residential areas to minimize the potential for injury on the ground. Surround a home with high powered InfraRedLeds to illuminate the area on detecting an intrusion. The QuadroCopter is fitted with a 0.003lux Watec camera which allows it see in the dark as if it was dayligtht in the presence of IR light, seeing in any intruders while such intruders aren't even aware about it.
