I don't know of any court cases or other precedent, no. I am working with the definitions of "software" and "program" as I am familiar with them being used in various software licenses. But that doesn't really

>If there is individual notice on the file because the file is a work individually licensed under MIT, removing it from the file is removing it from an MIT protected work in violation of the license. Why is that in violation of the licen

I don't agree that each file on its own is a separate work subject to copyright. Even the original Zig headers say that each file "is part of zig" (emphasis mine). The "work" in this case is the software project a

Re: metadata: I suspect that it may indeed be already incidentally covered by existing licenses. I replied elsewhere with a link to this wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure,_sequence_and_orga... T

Why do you think that? They are distributing a modified copy of the software and including the original copyright and permission notice. Therefore, they are in compliance. It's as simple as that. If they were distributing the individua

>Does a single notice in the lib/zen/std/LICENSE file satisfy the requirement "shall be included in all copies or substantial portions". Yep. The single files (or substantial portions of them) are not what's

Yes, because, as I explained above, they still retained the original Zig copyright in their LICENSE file. The MIT/Expat license doesn't say anything about the file headers. It only requires that "The above copyright notice an

Just know what you're getting into. Choosing the MIT/Expat license for your project is a conscious decision that explicitly allows people to do things like connectFree did with Zen. Whether you consider that a good or bad thing is

In that case, there would be multiple authors of a single copyrighted work. I'm only familiar/knowledgeable with GNU copyright assignment, however, not copyrights in general. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-a

>OK, but I was talking about the file headers. :) Gotcha, then you are correct. The MIT/Expat only requires: "The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the

You have it backwards. The MIT/Expat does required you to retain a copyright notice (in the form of a copy of the license, not in the form of file headers), which Zen does. In addition, creating a derivative work does in fact give yo

They are complying, the original Zig license is at the bottom of the file lib/zen/std/LICENSE (complete with "Copyright (c) 2019 Andrew Kelley"). I just downloaded it from the Zen website, and the tarball is dated 2

>Sure, because it's MIT license, you can relicense, but is replacing the original copyright notice OK? Even if it's OK, why did they do that? The file headers don't matter to the MIT/Expat license, what matters is tha

Not sure, I wish it had more info on this. I tried some sites from big malware lists and 1.1.1.2 blocked none of them.

It's too late. Solar and wind have the popularity and the momentum. They won. The base cost to solar is also much, much cheaper than nuclear, making it easier to practically implement. And solar/wind is a better long term solution

It only acts like console.log in the browser console, not in a script. Interesting.

Right, but nowadays there's no reason for it to be in there. You said they're marketed as a treat, and optimized to be as delicious as possible. So what's the caffeine for then? They're not marketed as energy drinks or d

Switch your DNS servers (I suggest 1.1.1.1). Chrome uses Google's DNS servers by default, they're probably just faster than whatever you're using.

If they're an "honest product" then why do they put caffeine in them? Caffeine doesn't change the flavor to make it "as delicious as possible".

It sounds like you're missing the point entirely. I think you have a lot to learn from this style of communication. >I'd say something like: ‘When you said, “I’m not happy with your work,” to me in front of the team, it undermi

Are you trying to say that because a company can disappear overnight, it isn't currently a monopoly? Because I don't think that makes any sense.
