General discussion

Over the past year, I have seen many conversations about the best way to handle multimedia content on a Drupal site. Curiosity has the best of me now, and I want to survey Drupal users to see how you handle multimedia content on your site.

By handle, I mean anything having to do with the process: input, conversion, storage, permissions, display, moderation, filtering of inappropriate content, site defaults (size, autoplay, etc), or anything else you want to add.

I'm using the weblinks module to simply display links in a block. I'd like to group the links by taxonomy so that similar links appear together. I don't see an immediate way to accomplish this. For example:

Categrory 1
-Link 1
-Link 2
-Link 3

Category 2
-Link 1
-Link 2

Can someone help me by explaining the GPL in plain English? I'm trying to understand what I can and can't do. If I modify existing core modules, am I prohibited from selling those? What if I create a new module?

What if I build and customize an entire Drupal-based system for someone, can I sell that (or just "services" based around it)?

If I make code available freely, am I then also allowed to sell it (like Red Hat does)? If that is true, how prominent must I make the link to the free code?

There was a problem of search.module from before.
What is a problem? It investigated.
I think that a problem is in search.module. Please see the following code.

// $Id: search.module,v 1.87 2004/09/21 18:35:30 dries Exp $

      // Remove punctuation/special characters.
      //$wordlist = preg_replace("'(\xBB|\xAB|!|\xA1|%|,|:|;|\(|\)|\&|\"|\'|\.|-|\/|\?|\\\)'", '', $wordlist);

      // Strip out (now mangled) http and tags.
      $wordlist = preg_replace("'http\w+'", '', $wordlist);
      $wordlist = preg_replace("'www\w+'", '', $wordlist);

      // Remove all newlines of any type.
      $wordlist = preg_replace("'([\r\n]|[\r]|[\n])'", ' ', $wordlist);

      // Lower case the whole thing.
      $wordlist = strtolower($wordlist);

      // Remove "noise words".
      $noise = explode(',', variable_get('noisewords', ''));
      foreach ($noise as $word) {
        $word = trim($word);
        $wordlist = trim(preg_replace("' $word '", ' ', ' ' .$wordlist. ' '));
      }

// Remove punctuation/special characters.

special characters is deleted with punctuation.
I think that it is for putting an English word into an index. Although, as for a problem, punctuation does not have the multi-byte characters, either,
if special characters? (\xBB, \xAB, \xA1) is deleted, a problem will occur from the multi-byte characters.
