Firemint was eaten by Electronic Arts (EA) and most of their games disappeared (including Puzzle Quest, which they acquired). Companies should consider when they can open source things like this to let greatness live on, if they won't

I can second your experience, but you are also using some very "affordable" pens as far as nibs go. The Lamy entry level pens are great design, but their steel nibs are painful to write with. The VP is a wonderful engineering fe

MIT License for spaCy, though you'd never know it from the home page of the site. It is really frustrating to have such a nice tool with such a beautiful site, but have the site have no mention of the word "License" on it.
