Wow, that license (LAGPL?) is exactly what I wish people would use in reaction to commercial abuse of their LGPL/GPL licenses. Seeing people move from LGPL to AGPL is very concerning as someone who is working for a charity.

Aren't we discussing what a reasonable industry standard for those obligations could be? That's what this entire thread is... GPL says no usage without sharing. LGPL says no modification without sharing. AGPL says no usage without

Sorry, this isn't a semantic conflict on the meaning of "prevent" is it? A library adopting the AGPL license has the effect of making it impossible for closed-source non-commercial projects to use it, even without modificatio

by Dayshine 8y ago
AGPL doesn't have a linking exception, so it's not modifications only, it's all code that uses the library. E.g. in order to use an AGPL library I have to open source my entire project. We can all claim there is no security t

Only if your data is very limited in depth. When doing data linking I can usually identify one person in a dataset of almost 1 million from three innocent seeming pieces of data. Pseudonimisation doesn't really work.

Median household income is $60k in the US. So, $40k for 1 person is probably enough.

You don't need income with $1M. If you chuck that into an index tracker you can safely withdraw $40k a year...

> When I first hit $100K income, I would take a peek at my W2 for a few days admiring the six digits, but then it wore off. When I hit $200K, $300K, $400K, and $500K, it was the same thing. I would be delusional to think that earning $1M

>I’d frame it in terms of getting a new account set up Er, that's against the TOS. They will immediately ban that account, and any account they ever make. It would be evidence of you trying to avoid the TOS.

Some data cannot be shared due to patient confidentially. In fact, almost all medical trials or epidemiological studies use data that can't be shared outside the study.

Save games is a poor example. Users often need to back them up. Backup systems often include Documents by default but not AppData. Files in AppData are hidden, and you would not expect users to find them. Further, many save games can be ope

Where do you see that? I only see references to 'alleged "recruiters"'. Unless outline is skipping part of TFA? But in that case, "recruiter" is an incredibly poor choice of word by the author.

Except selling drugs is illegal, recruiting students isn't. Keep in mind their employer was in "The Department of Homeland Security’s list of certified schools". Their work was only illegal because their employer turned out t
