Sure, you can make whatever you want from the original designs (but note not from any elements from figurines or films or anything else DC made that deviate from the comics). However, that in and of itself isn't depriving DC of anythin

Except that now he's put this into the public domain, DC can also do what they want with it to the extent that anyone else can. It doesn't hurt DC financially, other than potentially diluting the Fable brand because anyone else ca

I don't really understand what the point of this is. The complaints largely seem to be "DC weren't respecting me, so now anyone can do what they want with this". One of the things he complains about is how they wanted to

Do you include the adobe tool in each book? No. Do you include a massive chunk of Unity code in every game made with Unity? Yes. If you make a song that includes samples from other songs, you have to pay the original creators royalties too.

From what I can tell, it only applies on copies sold after 200k copies or 200k in sales. So, if you've paid $X profit after 200k copies, after 201k copies you've made $X plus a bit more, unless you're actually selling your ga

Not true - if you have a contract with a notice period, this is valid from the start except for a specified probation period. This is normally anywhere ranging from 1 month to 6 months. I've got a friend working in Hong Kong who had 12

Haha, yeah. Everywhere I've ever worked and resigned from, all but one have been 3 months notice. Even after raising with the issue of knowledge transfer with them early on, usually it gets ignored until the last 2 weeks and then there

In the UK, the rules for statutory notice period are a bit complicated. If you've been working somewhere for less than 2 years, the company has to give you at least a week's notice. If you've been working more than 2 years, i

"with a 3 month notice, but could only quit every half year" I know little about German law, but this sounds insane. I also certainly wouldn't call it 3 months notice, I'd call it 3-9 months notice. The real question is

It is, but also because it's grabbing something with fixed orientation to the disk, it also means that the disc is exactly aligned with the spindle every time, and so the index pulse can be generated from a cheap electromagnetic sens
