Yes. The problem with openly releasing a fix for a security bug is that people are not always quick to update their instances. It only takes one black-hat monitoring your releases by some means to dissect the changes, find the hole, and mak

Just tell them they've lost the game. If they ask what the rules of the game are, they've just lost again. They didn't invent being deliberately obtuse.

I see how it could be inconvenient for you, but should it being inconvenient for people be a valid reason for letting them continue to break licensing terms when they could end the whole situation immediately by stopping breaking the licens

Great part, but I can't say I thought much of the movie. A friend was obsessed with it, I could never quite get why (his explanations essentially amounted to the unhelpful "just because!").

By "it doesn't make a difference" they meant that the argument applies equally for both, and if it fails for one it fails for both.

> Deciding nobody can have the software at all is completely opposite to the spirit of the license. Any import block would be on the hardware, not the software. And the software would need to be released for other territories anyway.

You mean doing an AI based "clean room" reimplenentation? IIRC the jury is still out on the validity of that technique (though I expect it will turn out that the practise is not actionable as other similar decisions have gone that

Perhaps not the server-side components, unless they directly link AGPL covered code there too. No one that I've seen seems to be asking for the server side parts, just the client parts so they can use the printers locally they way they

I try to keep to that, but sometimes the flag is turning on a negative feature, disabling that which is the default and will remain so for compatibility reasons. Sometimes it is worth the effort of going through and changing the logic elsew

There are quite a few Luddites like myself that don't trust AI summaries and would rather just have the relevant links, so for us this would be useful. Though TBH I'd rather just stick with the paywalled articles being highlighted
