While traditional enforcement is often undeniably necessary for embedded electronics products, novel approaches to GPL violations are often possible and even superior for more traditional software distributions. Recently, [Software Freedom Conservancy][sfc] engaged in an enforcement action whereby, rather than fight the violator in court, we instead provided resources and assistance to a vetted GPL-compliant fork of a violating codebase. This talk discusses which scenarios make this remedy optimal and the lessons learned. The talk includes some licensing and technical content about vetting the licensing information of codebases.

In this case, the script also appends ``John Hacker`` name in the ``speakers.noids`` file. The ``speakers.noids`` file contains a list of speakers who were auto-linked in the schedule MD but who's bio is not (yet) available in the speakers' page. For auto-linking speakers, the script uses the ``speakers.ids`` file; this file is written to the disk after generating the the speakers' page from MD. Generate the speakers' page before generating the schedule page for auto-linking to work. Sample: https://notabug.org/rsd/lpschedule-generator/raw/master/tests/files/lp-sessions-autolink.md Special cases +++++++++++++ Speaker TBA ........... When the speaker information for a session is not yet available put ``SpeakerTBA`` as the placeholder in the line that usually contains the speaker information; the rendered HTML will not have speaker information for sessions that have ``SpeakerTBA``. Room TBA ........ When a room for a session is not yet available put ``RoomTBA`` as the placeholder in the line that usually contains the room number; the rendered HTML will not have the room number for sessions that have ``RoomTBA``. Video TBA ......... When the video for a session is not yet available put ``VideoTBA`` as the placeholder in the line that usually contains the URL for the video; the rendered HTML will not have the video link for sessions that have ``VideoTBA``. Description TBA ............... When the description for session is not yet available put ``DescTBA`` as the placeholder; the rendered HTML will not have the description for sessions that have ``DescTBA``. Sample: https://notabug.org/rsd/lpschedule-generator/raw/master/tests/files/lp-sch-tba.md Sessions only schedule ...................... It is possible to have a sessions only schedule. To do this, at the beginning of the markdown document: - Add a level two heading (``##``) with one or more whitespaces. - Add a level three heading (``###``) with one or more whitespaces. Sessions only sample: https://notabug.org/rsd/lpschedule-generator/raw/master/tests/files/lp-sch-sessions-only.md Single session time slot ........................ If a time slot contains only one session (like a Keynote), then session heading/title can be omitted:: ### 9:00 - 10:45: Opening Keynote - Beyond unfree...
