It's off topic but I seriously want Apple to use a VCS for their license agreements.
Every once in a while, they update Developer License Agreement or Paid Application Agreement (updated over 100 times so far), and every time they just show a wall of text. I save it as a file and take a diff to the previous version.
They must be using a VCS internally but they make us repeat the same effort again and again. It's stupid.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoMaybe that's a start? Techies would find it easier to promote the use of proper VCS for legal documents if their products used them for their ToS, and exposed them to users, e.g. in form of diffs. There's even a precedent - Wikipedia uses such interface for all their pages, including their ToS - see https://foundation.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Terms_of_Use/en&action=history https://foundation.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Terms_of_.... Beyond technical hurdles that could be solved with a set of FLOSS components and plugins to popular CMSes, I don't see any reason not to do this if one runs a honest company.
