Well, the 2.x branch has been rather gracefully backwards compatible for many years. Even the jump from 1.x to 2.x was largely "assisted". Personally, for me switching to 3 is a massive hindrance and probably I'll never do it

He's worried that the company may grow and he'd then have rights to a big chunk of equity as the cofounder. I'd establish that first. What kind of obligations has the company with him? just a salary/contract? part of the

Usage licenses are enforceable. At least in the US for sure, and the DMCA builds on that. Now, to prove that someone is running AGPL software and that they have modified it, that seems pretty hard in many scenarios.

AGPL is not the same as plain GPL. The vast majority of the code with a licence from the GPL family is not AGPL, but GPLv2, GPLv3 or LGPL. I understand the reasoning behind AGPL and on the surface it seems like a good idea, to stop the para

I've been working for a number of years on a product of similar nature. If I switched companies to make a new system from scratch, it would take me a non-trivial amount of time to replicate a full system, and I probably wouldn't d

Yo that's all fine and dandy. If you don't accept these conditions, don't take that job in the first place. Otherwise, if they catch you violating trade secrets you'll get your arse in jail just like Aleynikov. I doubt t

Well, if they pay you high 6 figures it's not so you can take the work that you made for them (which is not yours) and use it to set up a competing product and fuck them over. It's really not that difficult to comprehend. And it&#

Sounds to me like it was Aleynikov who didn't understand the severity of the crime he committed. I work in a similar environment and I'm fully aware that if I do something remotely like bringing my code from work home, holy crap I

It would still be catastrophic if they had access to the hashed passwords of a big number of users. People use weak passwords and they get cracked in no time if you have just a hash. But as I said before, that also depends on some details a

The point about it being VERY serious, I can accept. The rest... yep, pure bull. Also "btw Open Source sucks, proprietary good". The article is rubbish.

The severity of this bug depends on the privileges and the setup of whatever user ran that service then.

Nope but if you have root in production servers you can just peruse the RAM. Nice throwaway. LOL.

I'd say logins and passwords of millions of Google accounts would be the most valuable asset for a blackhat.

They forgot the part where they repeatedly rape female crew, and where they murder crew for petty reasons. Some people will feel good about "supporting the poor guy" though.

I wonder where do they apply this policy? There are plenty of sob stories of sweatshops in Germany (for instance). If this is a global policy then the argument that they're the scum of the Earth with regard to employees cannot hold muc

You have a very strange sense of morality, IMO. I refrain to inflict damage to others for personal gain, it's really that simple to me. Other questions are complicated and conflicting, but this is quite clear cut to me.

Keep on using Dropbox. If you use all that proprietary, anti-privacy rubbish then you can assume they can access to all your information anyway. On the bright side, I wouldn't worry too much about the NSA browsing through your cat pics

Well, she voted for unwarranted government surveillance. So there's that. Not that anybody sane should be using dropbox to store any sensitive/private information.

That is not sensationalism. Much the opposite. Giving the appropriate importance to things is part of what makes good journalism.
