So you're saying that for example the FreeBSD people are money oriented because they prefer a more permissive license over the GPL?

A while ago I wanted to include a library in some GPLv3 software, but I couldn't because that library was GPL2-only with no "or any later version" clause. And both versions of the GPL are not compatible unless the GPL2 soft

You can't link proprietary software with GPL libraries, only with LGPL libraries. For but Apple it's not even a licensing concern. Apple doesn't have a problem with the GPLv2, but doesn't touch the GPLv3 because of the p

If you want to your code to always be free, GPL is a good choice. If your want your code to be used by everyone, including e.g. all large browsers, you really need a permissive license. Just imagine if SQLite was GPL-only, barely anybody wo

brew supports pre-compiled binary packages (what they call bottles ) only when you use the default install location /usr/local. If you use any other prefix brew will always compile all packages on your system, which might take a

This is what you used to see when you tried to use sudo with brew: Error: Cowardly refusing to `sudo brew install` You can use brew with sudo, but only if the brew executable is owned by root. However, this is both not recommended and comp

Using /usr/local is just fine. But I feel uneasy when a system directory is owned by just my user. What if there is another user on my system that also wants to perform a brew update? Using sudo would also be a security advantage

Why does brew need to install everything owned by my user in /usr/local? I would honestly prefer if everything installed by brew was owned by root:wheel and brew would gracefully abort if I forgot to run it with sudo. Is all that

At least in Germany it's not possible to override laws by writing something different in a privacy policy or EULA. Even EULAs are mostly invalid. I guess it's the same in most European countries.

AWS and others will likely set up something quickly, but you'll still have to keep that in mind when trying to establish a presence in the EU. AWS already has two datacenters in Europe (Ireland and Germany). Wouldn't it be enoug

The "I want to cancel the order" option is only available in the EU and a few other countries (like Taiwan) for up to 14 days after your purchase, but not in the US.

You can have mandatory paid leave without additional risks for the employers. In Germany for example the paid leave is partly paid for by the health insurance and partly by taxes. All the employer has to deal with is not to see the employee

My counter example anecdote: I also own a 2012 MacBook Air. In July I brought it to an Apple store just two weeks before my Apple Care support ended. I got a brand new battery for free because the three year old one had "only" 70%

It seems that all Skylake CPUs suitable for new MacBook Pros won't ship until early 2016. I was hoping for a new MBP this fall, but it seems that my old MacBook Air has to do it's job a little longer.

With photovoltaics the production of electricity doesn't usually exceed the demand at night... So to charge cars at night you still need another technology for base load.

If this framework gets too popular they'll probably rename it to Firebird. Let's just hope there isn't already another open source software called Firebird.
