> My own company's lawyers consider the GPLv3 toxic and not allowed at all for company use in any software we create - that's enough for me. Isn't that often because the GPL would require you to release your source code?

I remember reading about Uber opening in France. Obviously the french taxi drivers weren't happy with it, and Uber were putting out press releases about how they "want to work together and blah blah corporate waffle". But you

I think that site is tweaked for US politics, so yes according to US politics, Obama is not centre-right. The questions include things that are political issue in the USA, but are settled (one way or another) in other countries, like "

It's important to remember that you're only temporarily able bodied. Sure you're able bodied today. But if you're lucky enough to live to an old age, your body won't be what it was. And you could be hit by a car tom

That's genius! But then you have to buy a lot of iPhones, right? I suppose you can sell them on, and if you're getting ~$10k per quarter, it's OK. Or did you use a different approach? What changed BTW? Did the format of trac

There was a time in the 90s when Scientology was the main target of internet censorship, and they (mis)used copyright law to hinder criticism and to hide what they did. South Park broadcast all the details of Xenu in 2005, which made it muc

The OSM search is an address/place look up search engine, not a generic search engine. When you look for "google", you're probably getting this point ( https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2903635928

I don't think you can compare the ad tracking that Google does now, and what the OSM website used to do years ago. That wiki page is almost 10 years old, with the website mentioned (mappam.com) no longer working. Though since OSM preda

Yes, you're right, they are different things. I'm just pointing out that OSM isn't as bad for some of the things you mentioned. (BTW there isn't one osm map app for mobile devices)

I understand how it's likely to cause trouble for the merchant if they allow pornographic items. But don't pretend you'll "defend to the death my right to say it". Here's a cause! Why not defend to the death?

It looks like Shopify allows adult products in general, but it's not worth anything if you're able to get money for it. To some people, "defending free speech" only means protecting swastikas, but not female nipples. Why

Is it limited to software patents? e.g. if BMW uses React in a project, and FB has a patent which covers React, then I think FB can use all of BMW's patents without paying, and BMW either has a choice of changing away from React, or no
