Howdy all, The audio download for the 2013-05-29 show of the Melbourne 3RRR radio show Byte Into It has finally gone online. We discussed some topics relevant to software freedom, including: * The Australian Government Information Management Office has decided to standardise its office documents to the Open Document format. * Interesting developments in the world of software patenting: * The New Zealand government has declared that a computer program is not an invention, and is not patentable. * The US state of Vermont is legislating against software "patent trolls". * The German parliament has resolved that patents on software restricted developers' rights, and that software is best covered by copyrights rather than patents. * Dominic Spill joins the team to discuss his work in open network security, and his projects Ubertooth and Daisho.
