If you read it and understood it, can you show us how to apply this formula to the warp drive, please? I cannot ask Einstein, obviously.

1) It's formula for time dilution. It's not applicable for a warp drive, because Alice will be shielded from relativistic effects, so no time dilution will occur. Alice's space will be dragged at speed > c, but Alice will

1) It's not applicable for this kind of drive. Isn't? 2) It's an unsolved problem, which waits for a correct solution. 3) Next time, please read what you are posting, please.

Moreover, gravitational waves are affecting speed of light, while EM waves are not affecting gravitation, so speed of gravitational waves is fundamental, while speed of light is not.

No, it's not. Readability assumes that code is easy to read and easy to understand. This code is easy to read for those, who understood the algorithm already, but is hard to read for those who has no understanding. It's the famo

Unlike GPL, proprietary licenses are not viral. They never asked for fair exchange of code, so court cannot force that.

In Linux, we use `abrt` for that, but user need to review and submit bug report with stack trace manually, so nobody complains about that. Yep, it's very useful.

GPL prevents this from happening by requiring your competitor to open the code under the same license. For example, Oracle tried to outcompete RedHat by cloning the RedHat Linux into Oracle Unbreakable Linux.

1) Your analogy is wrong, because none of the software licenses forces a user to have a license for his work. Moreover, a math book has strong copyright protection. You cannot just copy the math book and sell it as your own. GPL allows that

Copyright holder can do anything he wants with his code, so yes, John can rerererererelease his own code under different license. However, you cannot do that, even if the copyright holder told you something. He may change his mind tomorrow,

GPL protects the right to see the source of a binary distributed to you, so, in some cases, it enables reading of the code.

This is not true. Many small but successful companies are released their code using AGPL3 license, so you can see and contribute to the code, but cannot compete with them using the same code. The typical business model is a paid hosting and
