The license says you, as a redistributor, can follow the terms of GPLv2, GPLv3, GPLv(n+1). That is not the same as saying you can relicense it to any future version of the GPL. Every recipient will always have the choice of GPLv2.

The license was changed. You can't do that to other people's code. It was originally released under GPLv2 and he's changed all the copyright notices to say GPLv3. While the license included in the original doesn't bind t

It seems to me like taking chess, same pieces, same game board, same movement, same rules except you can't en passant in the A or H file. Then patenting it. It doesn't seem novel enough qualify for a patent when there is something

>Does that describe Laser Chess? Yes. Very much it does. It's been 35 years since I played Laser Chess, so perhaps there are some minor differences in the rules. But it describes a game so close to Laser Chess that it immediately br

The light reflecting boardgame patent is surprising. It is literally laser chess which is a computer game that came out in 1987. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Chess

In most of the variants of exec*() there are separate arguments for the thing to be executed and the *argv[] list. Argv[0] being the executable is just a convention. In perl $ARGV[0] is the first positional parameter. In $ perl myscri

This isn't an English language question. The technology in question doesn't guarantee a singular route or a path to a destination. Subsequent packets from an originating host to a destination host can follow different paths. Even

Traceroute doesn't even show you a path. It shows you a bunch of devices that happened to have a packet when its TTL expired. Every item listed in traceroute's output is a different packet and can take a different path towards the

Beyond the most trivial of microcontrollers and experimental designs there are no RISC chips under the original understanding of RISC. The justification for RISC evaporated when we became able to put 1 million, 100 million, and so on, trans

A couple tons spread across 400 million people with a per capita emission of 5 tons per year is in the noise. If we're at the point of trying to hyper optimize there are far more meaningful targets than pipe throughput.

It's a meaningless thing if it's 1 million resources divided into 1 million actors who have no ability to leverage a short term gain of 1 resource. It's short term because the number of computers that are 100% busy 100% of th

It’s more interesting that, I’m assuming, they categorize mistakes by the nature of the error and not the results of the error. Not checking your blind spot on an empty road is a tiny mistake. Not checking your blind spot causing a bus driv

Contracts require an exchange of value. If I got a free trial I would argue they got nothing and so there is no agreement.

Why do you think they don't have a license from Entropic in the contract they both agreed to? Unless they are utterly incompetent, their contract with Entropic covered this and if Enrtopic delivered firmware that they don't have r

I want to know if they have a patched version of Ultrix or a license file that allows more than two users? Ultrix on a MicroVAX was my first contact with a Unix system. Then briefly some SunOS 4.x and then extensively Ultrix on DECstation 3
