Actually GPL and MIT do. I don't know on BSD. You can release software on GPL that is free to an industry/market but is pay for other markets or not available in those markets. You can even under GPL release software with a restri

Yes I combined two changes in the same comment for brevity. You also waive all of the personalities rights with this new version.

Waive of moral rights. It was hinted in 3 but is now explicit. As written you can now own data created by your software used by others. The intent was likely that you could license data as CC some rights reserved, but in the process it appe

Basically unusable. If you had put in the terms of your OpenSource Image Hosting platform that users couldn't use the software to host violent or simulated violent content, that restriction is removed by CC 4.0. Conversely you can now

You keep telling yourself that. I understand fractional coins. I was over simplifying for brevity. I'll give you a hint. You have to move the coins between two wallets you own before you create a coin that will "break" when

If all this were true we wouldn't run Credit cards immediately. You'd swipe, and store, and process in bulk later which makes the transactions cheaper to run. Most merchant services accounts you can save about 50% if you process d

Adding lots of data to the transaction logs is one easy DDoS. Do so many transactions that the logs get to be larger than fit on most systems. With multiple Gigs of data already required, if someone was evil they could up the volume and kee

Stallman is an idiot. When you post to your blog you tell the NSA what you know. When you attend a conference where Stallman speaks and paid with your credit card the NSA knows you support his ludicrous ideas. Stallman thinks information sh

You didn't understand. You start at "equal" not 50%. That's why in my explanation not all the shares are given out. The reserve lets you both work to add equity, you can work together and stay equal, or one of you can do

If you had a good probability of both exchanges having equal amounts of high and low, you would be right, but if you have to always go in one direction then this "buffer" won't work.

At $1,000 a coin and 2.5% on each service (which would be cheap) you'd have 5% total. That's $50 in fees. At $130 it would be a good deal, but not at $50

The lag is too high. Rarely can you buy coins, get them transferred in to your wallet, transfer them in to the new exchange and sell them before the price has changed. One of the biggest problems with Bit Coin is the delay. 5 minutes to mov

You start at 50/50 But you don't give out all the shares. You create a company with 1M shares. You give him 10k and you 5k for the work you've done, and 5k over the course of how much time you negotiate it should take to get

Our Natural Language / Language Heuristics Engine can do this. We do to a small extent now, we haven't gone whole hog because I'm not sure I agree that commercial sites shouldn't rank. For things we determine to be refer

Also it would by hypocritical that it would block sites with ads but likely have to use ads to generate revenue. As the owner of a search engine I can tell you search ain't cheap.

I don't think that just because a site makes money it is a bad result. If you searched for "Used Jeep Grand Cherokee" Craigslist would be a good result. So would AutoTrader. Both break your rule.

I can't think of where you would use this. What platform is missing this functionality but has a URLFetch/Curl/FOpen to use the API? I would also think that if it was viable as a business someone would undercut you quickly.

How do you think App Engine works? AppEngine runs on the same hardware and the same process described as a how to is nearly identical to what is obfuscated and provided to AppEngine users via a GUI.
