Why would Adobe make Fireworks open source when they plan to continue selling and updating the last version? " While we are not planning further feature development for Fireworks, we will continue to sell Fireworks CS6 as well as make it av

" It's harder to get through a reinforced door in a hurry, but I can think of plenty ways of either getting through it more slowly, or of making the cockpit unpleasant to be in without breaching it - lighting a fire outside it, for example.

The Wikipedia page also notes that the Octonauts are based on books published in 2006, 2 years before the founding of Github. While I am not a lawyer, I do not think there is very much similarity between the two. Github's Octocat is half-oc

Looking at the discussion you started 2 years ago on the social media company's website [1], there were two objections raised: 1. users who think that deleting their comment will remove it are ill-served by your extension 2. your extension

This reads like it is inspired by https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/ef4772e3c628 (which is currently on the frontpage at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5487883 ), but there is no attribution if this is the case.

This seems similar to Tom Preston-Werner's essay on the same subject, with the exception that this article fails to mention any moral obligation to open source general purpose code: " It's almost impossible to do anything these days without

I was able to find at least 3 extant forks on Github, but the fact that the project author's employer was concerned about IP rights would make me wary about using such code. If the author "borrowed" similar code from work he previously did
