It reads like, "if you break this license, we'll dox you and your family"
- garmaine 8y agoWow, wtf.
- crooked-v 8y agoI'm getting some TempleOS vibes here.
- AceJohnny2 8y agoYou and me both.

- crooked-v 8y agoYour licensing terms are less offensive, and more invalid from incoherency and encouraging of illegal actions as well as showing a deep misunderstanding of what valid licensing and contract terms even are.
- fartcannon 8y agoI was thinking timecube, myself.
- david_at 8y agoThe words you guys use "dystopian", "doomsday", etc. etc. are all from fiction. These are literally categories of genre-fiction. You're seriously trying to make straight faced predictions about the future using what is literally in the book store under "Fiction". Something that is by definition not real, a fabrication, a lie. How can you possibly expect me to take you seriously or grasp what it is that I'm doing? You've taken stories you know are fake and mapped them to the real world. How is that any different from religion? I'm giving you guys mathematical arguments and you're giving me Dr. Seuss. And you've put words in my mouth to suit your narrative. The story you want to believe. A story that's fake by defintion. Don't you see how messed up that is? Well, Hitchen's Razor says that, "What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence". Here's my razor, "What can be asserted with fiction can be dismissed with fiction". This is a bulwark against those who insist on living in a world of fantasy and superstition. But for the rest of us, those who want to live in reality, I'm giving you the real world.

- madhadron 8y agoExcept that their modification of MPL2 has a giant loophole. If you include MPL2 code as part of a larger work, you can license the larger work as GPL. At that point, their restrictions are scrubbed from the license of the GPL codebase.
- garmaine 8y agoIt doesn't matter though, you can't claim right to harass in a copyright license agreement. The whole thing is bunk, but it goes to show how messed up the world view of its creator is...

- garmaine 8y agoYou are frighteningly naive about the world, and creating the tools of oppression as a result. Stop. And seek help.
- TomMarius 8y agoAt least he is making it open, governments won't. While this is worrying, it is inevitable (satellite surveillance, road cameras etc - everything is in place, it's just about time), so I'm happy we're getting it this way and start working on learning to live with it. I'd hate to have to learn how to live under an oppressive government again (I'm from a former eastern bloc country), so this is definitely welcomed by me - this way I can keep track of the secret police.
- david_at 8y agoThank you. It's funny that the words they use, "dystopian", "doomsdayish" etc. etc. ... are all from fiction. These are literally categories of genre-fiction. They're trying to make straight faced predictions about the future using what is literally in the book store under "Fiction". Something that is by definition not real, a fabrication, a lie. How can they possibly expect me to take them seriously or grasp what it is that I'm doing? They've taken stories they know are fake and mapped them to the real world.
