not in an alternate universe, but it's a claim made by some free software people. i don't have time to search for a quote right now. yes, it is disputed, and the claim has not been tested in court. but it is an argument being made

when i consider traveling to any country i don't care about statistics. i care about feeling safe. unless you can prove and guarantee that i will not be bothered when crossing the border then i'll stay away.

there is no legal precedence that clarifies what clean room development is. clean room development is a precaution to stay away as far as possible from the original code in order to reduce the risk of infringement. clearly, not looking at t

a kernel driver is an extension to the kernel. yet, even with a clearly defined API it is a derived work of the kernel. one can use the same topic for a work of poetry for a similar aesthetic effect and that doesn't infringe other poe

that is not certain. if you read code and then reimplement it using the original code as reference, the claim has been made that this falls under the copyright of the original because the new code is derived from the old code. unfortunately

i always found it odd that the most powerful person in many european countries, the prime minister, is not directly elected. but the problem is not really there. the problem in my opinion is the concentration of power in one person. and the

one if the problems is that most elections are only for one person, so only the majority (the person with the most votes) wins. give everyone half a dozen votes or more, and and you'll get a more representative sample. for example inst

that 10 year old binary should run, unless it links against a library that no longer exists. for example here is a 20 year old binary of the game mirrormagic that runs just fine on my modern fedora machine: ~/Downloads/mirro
