I agree. But sometimes the copyright license conceded by the user goes way beyond what's needed for the service. Why do you give rights to sublicense and to transfer to Facebook or Twitter? Details: http://tos-dr.info/topics.html#copyright

You're welcome to discuss this specific point at https://groups.google.com/d/topic/tosdr/b6ryqY9NdMw/discussi... Since all Twitpic does is hosting public pictures for Tweets, I would assume as a user that if I click "Delete" then the pict

Yes. Differences between legislations is one thing that's making the task harder. I think it's better to focus to what the terms actually state. But I always keep in mind the jurisdiction under which the company operates as it can influence

Yes. Which is a bit silly, I haven't really understood their justification for it. But if they want to clear that up, it would be a good idea.

Yes. I have been in touch with the author and invited to cooperate. But... where is the code? how does it work exactly? How can it interoperate with other projects trying to back up archives of terms? etc. etc.

AGPL is our JS+HTML+CSS code. The data itself (JSON) is CC-BY-SA.

by hugoroy 14y ago
I also think it's a poor choice. What do you suggest?
103.
by hugoroy 14y ago
Yeah "Ownership" is meant as a category rather than a title. I guess I forgot to give this one a proper title. Will fix this soon.

The plan is to work with the EFF's tosback https://github.com/pde/tosback2 (they need contributors too BTW) and track changes over time so we can notify people when something wrong is going on (they'd be able to subscribe to a list of ser

by hugoroy 14y ago
Yes, trust is one problem. I think we're being objective (at least we are trying, with building a scoring system that's automatic). But for sure, we are not being neutral. We do think that tracking should always be opt-in, not opt-out. At l

Reading the comments about Apple's move to reject the GPLv3, describing the GPL (v2, v3) as 'viral' or 'contaminating' non-GPL code, or being a 'trap', is the reason why I posted this link. People who say the GPL is viral have either no ide

Stop with "contamination" about GPL. It's just "hereditary"(tieguy.org)

I get your point. I was merely trying to express basically how I felt when I read the sample of code. It does not look like web development any more, just facebook-development.

So moving away from the future of web apps towards the dead-end of the closed and controlled Facebook-Internet. That looks scary to me.

Do you understand you're totally off-topic? Distributors of Android also distribute the Linux Kernel, which is GPL. So they must comply with the GPL parts. That's it.

That's a totally different matter which has nothing to do with what you were talking about earlier. Trademark and Free Software are two completely different things… (unlike copyright and patent law, where the code itself is directly license

I did not point you to the definition of copyleft or the definition of GPL, but to the definition of Free Software. If you read the definition of "Open Source" by OSI, or the DFSG by Debian, they're very similar and clear: the (royalty-free

too late? Why? The iPad is only at version 2, and Android tablets are having a hard time to take off (while the HP TouchPad has been selling very well apparently). Honestly, I am using one, and I have an Android phone (Nexus S) I don't thin
