Maybe a balance can be achieved. Someone can be a part time office worker, part time tradesman. This part-time aspect was one of the appealing aspects of ride-sharing apps when they first appeared. People with cars could have 9-5 jobs and b

While that is true and it is much more worthwhile to donate to the Internet Archive instead of Wikipedia (many Wikipedia references depend on being archived by IA), I would not want to start a anti-Wikipedia-donations movement. Sure they ha

In a world where backing up to IPFS would be as easy and widespread as hitting Ctrl+D to bookmark and sharing backups would not be dangerous legally, your answer gets an easy answer. Each person gets to decide what they find important, back

From the readme, it is not clear to me what is meant by metadata. Will this archive subtitles? Will it archive comments? If is can, can comments be updated? Also, from the readme it looks like all metadata is kept centralized instead of eac

To me this sounds like it would have the same problem as the OGL. Even if current recepients can still use it, new recepients are blocked. And it is unclear if a current recepient can create new derivatives or nor. If Alice grants Bob lib

I am guessing they say it means or want it to mean: That it does not require periodic refreshing. Compare to getting hired and being hired until you are fired vs you can have a fixed duration contract which you would have to explicitly ex

So what would happen if Linus revokes the licence for his contributions? (GPL v2 does not have the word irrevocable. Are we stuck until all his contribs are rewritten. Aren't all contribs to Linux so intertwined as to be derivatives of

If what you say holds than most software licensing will be turned on it's head. The Apache licence is irrevocable but BSD, MIT, ---GPL and variants---, Eclipse and others say no such thing. Does that mean they are all revocable? Does t

Even if thechange does not apply to works that have already been published, this is still newspeak. This is lawyers chosing words to mean what they say they mean whenever they say it. The Apache license does have the word irrevocable. But

I would like to argue that this painful state of seeking meaning is a good thing. For most of human history we have been stuck in a Stockholm syndrome, a cozy state of delusion, that has been perpetuated by each generation. The more people

Lawyers of HN, why would using the same method as in the patent pose a legal problem for a DIY project? To my understanding, he would not be able to commercialize it until expiration. Maybe he wouldn't even be able to exchange that one

About democracy it says that it works. Democracy does not rely on good will or on honesty, it relies on self interest. Meanwhile, information hygiene is threat to democracy. A democracy is a careful balance, which in turn mitigates the wor
