It isn't usable if your goal is to take the open source project and turn it into a component of your own commercial product that is for sale and is closed-source. But I think more than half of the people in this thread have the opposit

You might be thinking of the "obviousness test" for patents. If an invention is a combination of two things which are established prior art, and there is a suggestion, teaching, or motivation which any person could discover throug

I think appropriating code against the license would be a license violation. Whether it's a bug or a feature doesn't really make any difference. If it's not licensed for copying, then you can't copy it. You can't re

You may laugh, but a few years ago all those guys who sold us (some of? us - me anyway) on Kubernetes evidently got bored with it, and now they're all building a Hippo Factory[1]. And it's actually really good. This is the current

OK, but if it has value (utility) and it has scarcity, then it's going to get a cash price. My favorite internet argument about Web3 was the time that I had two people on Twitter telling me that "scarcity" was a problem with

Well I mean, you don't actually need to pay for it, you only need to "make them cost something." (You know, like a JPEG? Nobody really pays for these, do they?) It's just a bit of friction, think of it like I'm givi
