Lots of laws require lots of things that, in reality, simply don't materialize.

At the same time, many stories have been of people who have done it horribly wrong, to the point where you really cannot say anything but, "You did it wrong."

"Your software is not working if it doesn’t exactly match its documentation." Not true. Documentation is not always updated. And many times, if not every time, the requirements documents the clients give are often flat out wrong.

It sounds like people were paying for the side project.

I believe the opposite. If you're making money off of it, then you do have a moral obligation to support it, at least to the point where they can use it under the original circumstances they were sold it under. The idea that one could

If that's what you sold them. It is not your customer's fault that your business plan isn't working.

But who's the judge of right and wrong? And is it right to do wrong to those who are doing wrong?

That's probably the worst possible outcome. These people are PAYING to go there. They are PAYING to live there. Are you saying they should have to put up with harassment and bigotry in addition to that?

I cannot agree with the idea that denouncing racism or call for the resignation of someone who has shown to have racist views is intolerance.
250.
by s73v3r 11y ago
No. That is simply a fiction made up by people who claim to be "harassed" when told to stop being an asshole.

You say adults as if that means they instantly know all.

Yes. Going public has never done anything good for any company. Once going public, it's all about quarterly reports and pleasing a few hedge funds.

That's a shame. I liked their products.

The answer is by being a complete and utter asshole. Any employer who expects that much is not someone who should be managing the night shift at a Denny's, let alone a whole company.

The problem with argument #3, and the one no one ever brings up, is the fact that people still need to be able to pay for stuff. And you could argue that one now has the time to go back to school, but how are they going to pay for it? How a

Why the hell would he blame himself for users making asinine demands? Are the users not adults? Are the users not fully capable of taking responsibility for their actions?

I've never understood why being a small business is seen as an excuse. Do the circumstances of the person writing or maintaining the library change because you're a small business? If they actually "need" those libraries

No, because that's just enforcing a private contract.

Party means party to the treaty. As in, a country. It has no bearing on private sector agreements, such as the GPL.

So? Nobody says that you're supposed to claim they're breaking the law. You're just pointing out a company abusing the law.
261.
by s73v3r 11y ago
Why can't you point fingers? If you know this is happening, which is supposed to be illegal, then blow the whistle.

I don't think there's ever been a social network that has successfully charged users to use it.

by s73v3r 11y ago
You're the one asking why the company should be blamed. You wouldn't be doing that if you didn't think that a company should be able to do stuff like this.

I would say your statement is predominately false. Great developers can be found in most places, and even more if you don't require that everyone be together.

I could say that far more about FOSS developers. Many of them operate under the idea that they bear no responsibility for the software they write, and as such, have no impetus toward quality.
266.
by s73v3r 11y ago
Yeah, no. I've never bought the "hostile to developers" argument. Try again. "When you you do robotics, you want full control over the software" And OS X gives me this.

Because the company is the one who "bribed". I honestly do not understand this thought that a company should be able to do whatever they want, with no consequences, because they're trying to profit.

It's not the IRS's fault, it's Congress.

There's also nothing professional about irrational hatred of a platform, or having the need to complain about another's choice of platform.

I have. And while nice, I honestly don't see what's so bad about writing headers. I like being able to export a set of headers and a binary library.
