Disagree. That's exactly an n-th example of why this non-commercial clause is bogus since the very beginning of CC, and particularly unadapted for software code: no one is able to define clearly what commercial means, and what perimete

The Non-Commercial provision of the license is towards the app/code, not what the app is used for by end users. You would not be able to install it and sell users right to use it, but you would be able to install it in-house for your o

Agree, but, the discussion it triggered around the initial post was of interest nonetheless. Plus, I've seen several posts flagged in the past few days that would have been worthy of discussion; although being on the fringe of social&#

Why is this, again, flagged? (if not proving the point it aims to discuss)

> What makes it social? For the modern definition of social, nowadays: incentives to generate engagement (connect with people, post, like, comment) to build up data to drive advertising sales.

Direct networking works very well (in person, mail, phone, recommandation, job posting sites, etc.). LinkedIn is merely a glamour social network + "pro" dynamic address book + kind of a standardised CV, nothing much more.

Greed (and lust) is enough of a primary reason, which in turn drives the crime; or the kompromat that enables the crime. If we want to mitigate (and we have to), we talk about the crimes and the legal structure that enables those. If we wan

The point is moot since pharmaceutical companies are already highly profitable beyond their R&D expenses, as the OP acknowledges. So drug prices could be significantly lowered in the US while maintaining current research levels. The mai

That is putting intent where it is neither needed nor in capacity. Greed is enough.

Also no one knows what the main events/news drivers will be in 5 years: climate, water, energy, war, peace? AI and economics, employment are way too little of concern at this point.

The irony is almost painful: using the freedoms guaranteed by democratic systems to claim they're being oppressed by those very systems. If this is the best example of "persecution" they can come up with, perhaps it's ti

Ha, but ads and whatnot are not a requirement for a website. Plus, why wouldn’t llms be able to crawl websites as well? Are llms going to improve the web or fragment it further as ads did?

Why should websites implement yet another custom output format for people^Wsoftware that won’t bother to use existing, loosely yet somewhat structured, open formats?

A debt vs an asset is a matter of context and perspective more than an essential property. Data may be an asset for you. But the very same data may because a debt (because it becomes hard to keep relevant or accurate) or even a burden (beca

So it’s a tautology. Your hypothesis is undecidable, why would humanity in your scenario be more of interest than whales or octopus or bees or ants or fungi?

No it’s weak because it aims to explain reality as a simulation for humans (whereas humans are a tiny irrelevant part of reality), and it does not fundamentally differ from past faiths and religions of humans being played by the gods.

It’s not a secret, it’s a weak, because anthropocentric and too meaning-seeking argument. Call it simulation, fate, or whatever, it’s still way too human-centered to be relevant of interest given the complexities of the universe. While hold

Some high-ranking politician considering that making money profits over people suffering by denying them medical care is a matter of "policy differences" or "viewpoint", that may be quite a dark fandom.

Not quibbling. That’s not the same order of magnitude but it’s real life. It happens and can be a significant part of revenue for the architect.

Generally yes, significant revenue (for books but also movies and music) may happen several years after the first release/publication. Because… reasons you don’t always control.
