California is actually putting in "high speed" rail, but my understanding is it's far behind schedule and uses old technology.

About the AGPL license, does it extend to programs compiled with Loko? The author seems to not want it to with the comment about the license not extending to user space. My understanding, however, is that would iff the programs used a libra

It's unbelievable how long copyright lasts. It seems unlikely that the prospect of legal battles 40 years in the future were part of the original Ms. Pac-Man developers' motivations for creating the game.

As far as I understand, you could redistribute BSD under the SSPL, since the BSD license doesn't prevent relicensing as long as you keep the BSD license as well. And besides, there's a difference between the practical impossibilit

That's not impossible. You can use solely SSPL software, or software with licenses compatible with SSPL.

Serious question: can someone explain why the server side public license is not an open source license, with specific reference to AGPL? Is it because of the provision forcing the source code release of auxillary software used to run the so

If you use Firefox, ads pay for your browser experience. It's just one extra level of indirection (Advertiser -> Google -> Firefox vs. Advertiser -> Brave). With regards to original argument, my impressions was you didn't

Not tether. Tether is super sketchy and potentially a scam.

The people who built the internet for sharing sake are still there, and still ad free.

Using the words "slavery" and "coercion" makes taxes sound like a horrible idea, but I don't think it's a radical idea to have clean public toilets paid for by taxes.

You are misunderstanding Stallman's argument. He doesn't have a problem with Javascript. He has a problem with non-free javascript. He probably would have even more of a problem with Apple Maps because it's an entirely prop

by zucker42 7y ago
I don't know if I see how your analogy extends to this situation. Are you saying you like neither Stallman or Google?

It looks fine for me on Android Brave.

I actually made a comment on that elsewhere in the thread. If you take a look at table 7a, you can see that the disparity is due to drugs. But yes, non-citizens are more likely to be arrested for federal crimes.

He's ignoring a subset of crimes in order to evaluate what society would be like if that subset wasn't illegal. The point is if you're using lawbreaking as a metric for which people are bad, it may be misleading when used to

The FSF might also be able and willing to assist with LGPL violations. Unfortunately though this may be a case with circumstantial evidence but no proof. It also often seems that the people who most willing to disregard the (L)GPL are the o

Nice note; I hadn't heard of that program before. However, that's also not the same type of program as Fusion 360. Fusion 360 is a parametric modeler, which means it's used for create precise mechanical designs, rather than a

I don't understand how that statement is disingenuous. It's completely true that smog, air quality, etc. were bigger problems before the establishment of the EPA and the passage of the Clean Air Act. There's a reason the EPA

360 isn't in response to open source pressure. It's competing with Solidworks/Onshape,etc. but trying to capitalize on the hobbyist market that grew when 3D printing became viable. The only FOSS equivalent is FreeCAD, but tha

Imagine if your rental property advertised a fixed number of occupants but also a "step cap", charging extra for steps inside the property exceeding 100,000 per month.

Unfortunately, the public response to this will be "Do you not support law enforcement, who risk their lives for our safety?" Sometimes it feels like we've elevated the common cop to a superhuman status.

It's hard to profit off selling something with no per unit cost associated with copying when buyers have the legal ability to resell. Successful FOSS businesses usually make money off of selling exceptions, (i.e. selling to non-free so
