- provemewrong 10y agoWould Ubuntu 20.04 Fiery Fox be considered copyright infringement?
- pjf 10y agoobviously, invent new letters :)
- slight 10y agoInvent two thirds of a new alphabet and then get distracted by the idea of creating new numbers and promise to complete the alphabet "real soon now"? ;)
- pluma 10y agoShut down the company and stop releasing new versions, obviously.
- chillingeffect 10y agoYeah, it's really a shame. I thought the open source movement had a lot going for it, but they should have thought this part out better. It's okay though, I honestly feel we can take most of what we learned and apply it to the Commodore 64, which, while closed source, most "black hat" hackers can patch the kernel of to include execution of the Binaries Formerly Known As Ubuntu. The process will be different, though: After powering on the system and reaching the READY string signaling the BASIC interpreter, you'll POKE the unicode name-string of the package you want to update to the user space at $C000, then execute an SYS command to set the CPU's program counter to the vector of the package installation.
