I think you have some misconceptions about the GPL. "You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License." (GPL v3 section 10) "If the Program as you received it, o

No, even if you sum any number of signals, as long as each component signal is bandlimited then the resulting signal is also bandlimited and can be reconstructed perfectly according to the Sampling Theorem. This may be counterintuitive, bu

Correcting myself: it looks like Mozilla can't distribute the binary itself (while still benefiting from Cisco's end user licensing), though it could still publish its own signature for verification.

This isn't necessary for systems that already have H.264 decoders provided by the OS, but it's useful for platforms like Windows XP (which still accounts for 20-30% of web usage) that don't have built-in H.264 decoders. Firef

Wow, awesome! For the Mac one with mouse support, you might want to add ".emscripten { cursor: none; }" to your stylesheet so the host cursor doesn't cover up the emulated one.

I agree. And some of the clone makers offered a better customer experience than Apple, too. For example, Power Computing had a great online store before Apple did.

Your first comment on your own petition was "Because every other browser supports cross-domain fonts except you" which is false. It looks like you filed this based on the blog post you linked to, which is three years out of date.

But my point is they can already do this. They don't need IE or Firefox to change anything because IE and Firefox already support cross-domain fonts.

So, you fixed the bug number, but what about my other points? Why single out Firefox when IE9+ has the same behavior and that behavior is required by the spec? Why don't you (or your CDN) use CORS? Why do you say this is "breaki

I'm confused. This petition talks about cross-domain fonts, but it links to http://bugzil.la/475891 which has nothing to do with cross-domain issues. (It's about using different fonts for different Unicode chara
