As someone who had the misfortune of moderating a platform with filesharing features, I agree that the name is... really bad. (Cheese) Pizza is slang for CSAM. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Cheese%20piz...

That's a stronger claim anyhow. We'd merely need Pi to be a rich number, ... which hasn't been proven either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjunctive_sequence#Rich_numb...

Two reasons: - Elk is ambiguous. There's an Elk/Wapiti in North America, Central Asia, and East Asia, and another species of deer referred to as an "Elk" by people in Eurasia, but which is known as a "Moose" in

How are Taiwan and Hong Kong at all comparable? Hong Kong never had their own military, was never an independent nation, and was officially handed over from Britain to China in 1997. There was no armed invasion of Hong Kong - Chinese mili

Do they need to secure a license in such a way? Probably not. Would that fact at all change what the sentence in their TOS means? Nope. Whether or not the sentence needs to be there has no bearing on its meaning.

No, I'm not. I'm interpreting it precisely as written using the rules of the English language. Lawyers get paid good money to word them very precisely.

In that case I stand corrected. Apparently you could use Word without accepting an agreement potentially granting Microsoft a license to what you write.

No. It doesn't say that. If you want to claim otherwise, show where it says that and elaborate. This style of "argument" leads nowhere. You're stringing together vague statements and claims, leaving it to the imagination

> there is no reason why Mozilla would need to know about this. Precisely. That's why it's not covered by the license.

I'm at a loss as to how to proceed from here, given that we seem to have different ideas of how the English language works. However there's more that also precludes such use as in your example: > license to use that information

They only have license to use the data in order to realize the intent of the user, how much more specific than that can it get?

The last part of the sentence narrows it down, as does the first part.

> First, you used Firefox and therefore enabled the clause. I believe your confusion stems from a misreading of "as you indicate with your use of Firefox". You're reading it like "by using Firefox, you indicate".

No, they cannot. You're replying to a comment where I've broken the sentence down into smaller parts. It's the best I can do.

Short answer: No. Long answer: Unless the button says "phone home my information to Mozilla", this license wouldn't cover that. This license only covers whatever is necessary to make the button itself work - whatever is neces

Title is a complete lie/misleading. They get a license, not ownership. Let's dissect what it actually says, and we do it backwards, because given the discussion around this subject it seems like people space out or have their mind

1400 Watt of LEDs is the kind of lighting you'll find atop a tall pole in a sports stadium. That's ~200,000 lumen, or about 10x as much as you'd need to light a large room really brightly. If you put that next to a skylight

All of these, just like browsers, probably XDG Desktop Portal for capturing, so you've got to have that set up.
