I'm a bit confused by the about and usage page. Is this natively supported in Blink and you need the Javascript to polyfill other browsers, or do you always need their JS library to use this type of CSS?

And the Texas case is very sound. It gets directly into specific cases and doesn't go down any of the silly Q/Conspiracy routes. Viva does a great analysis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-tb11okydc

Old version of Photoshop (3.0, 4.0, ... CS5 up to CS6) gave you a license key you could sell. It didn't include a time limit. It was yours and you could sell it or use it forever. That's gone. You can try to find old licenses for

oh .... well then what's the point of a commercial license? You'd only need it if you customize the original Qt source code and don't use it as-is, right? Or if you want support beyond forums/mailing lists?

by djsumdog 6y ago
I thought you also couldn't bundle Qt, and the installer had to tell the user to download it separately.

> Nope, you can make a commercial closed-source application that links against LGPL-licensed library. So in this case, you'd have to package the software so it doesn't include Qt (in an RPM/deb) so it pulls in the system Q

That seems very rare/special case and unlikely. Also it doesn't seem like it would hold water in court.

That's insane. Back in the day you bought Photoshop (a tool) and could use it forever. You bought a tool you could use. Now you need a subscription to keep using your tool? You need permanent Internet access, to keep using your tool? Y

Then when not offer a perpetual fallback license? If you want to ship your product with version 6.1 and don't want to pay more for 6.2, so long as you paid for 6 months of 6.1 you should be able to use it (without support) for as long

Slackware was my very first Linux (Slackware 3.6). Back then I built a Linux From Scratch (2001/2002) and used it for two semesters and it really helped me fully understand a lot about Linux. Today I use Gentoo on my main box, Alpine o

Android isn't a Linux desktop environment. I'd barely even call it Linux. It uses its own drawing layer that's not X or Wayland, a mounting system that makes no sense and changes with every release, is filled with tons of pro
