Easy to say but what about paying creditors? The legal system we have now needs to be radically rethought to allow a scenario where a company going bankrupt will be forced to give up its patents and copyright on software to the public, inst

I appreciate the response. As others have noted though, the licensing terms are very hard to parse. Have you considered using one of the Creative Commons licenses for the artwork, with commonly used software licenses for the software pieces

> >pay less money overall because we can design fewer chip variants and differentiate capabilities by license. That's so... Naive? The reality is that the chips will cost the same and Intel will pocket the extra margin. And the r

You still have to go through multiple pages in phpbb and similar old forum in long threads. Same issue, usually slower than scrolling down bring the apparent end of page in discourse

On the other hand, organic material on Reddit generates traffic and has high conversion rates. Why pay when you can get the same for free?

This is a common misconception: without copyright, Microsoft would still have many legal means to force you to pay for every copy of windows, from contract law to patent licenses. Without copyright there would not be free software and copyl
