If you are that concerned about this specific problem, shell allows you to "set noclobber" (or "set -C") to not overwrite existing files.

Ah, so your freelancing is essentially working full time for a single customer for 3-6 months. As if you were changing (salaried) jobs this often. Thanks for the explanation. A question: doesn't the tax authority complain about the lac

Ah, I remember seeing this when it was first posted in comp.lang.c and being duly impressed. I had definitely a printed typeset copy in various work environments. Remember, it was a time when the language had no function prototypes, and we

No, it was used for everyone speaking a non-Greek language. In Homer there is no "barbarian"; only "barbar-speaking". But by the time of Aeschylus, it was a noun denoting people speaking non-Greek. There was also the cor

Thanks for this link; it was very interesting! But you should take into account that some rules are more general expressions of others. For example, in your penultimate "(recommended)" table, there is no point in having both &quot

It's perfectly fine for them to ask for information before showing you the download links. From the information on the website they seem to want to create a community in their Association, where members will contribute. They say that &

All the Intel development tools have been freely available to everyone for a while now... A large part of them are based on Open Source components like gcc or llvm, and most modifications have been contributed upstream. It's the packag

I like Alpine but... unfortunately, in the path to minimal disk size, they decided to simply disregard legal obligations of the open source components they use, even though most were very simple: include license text and copyright notice. T

It's too bad that in the path to minimal disk size they decided to simply disregard legal obligations and they ended up producing something that violates the open source licenses of the contents... so unusable for any product.

This is not a DoS attack -- this is business as usual, in some environments. And the employees cannot proceed with releasing scripts, patches, or other software until they have approval (this is the case we're talking about, not "

Checking the origin of the code is a standard step in any acquisition process (I have been involved in several). It's reasonable that people do not want to pay for some code that they later discover has to be released as source. The ge

This. The CC-BY-SA default license on Stack Overflow makes whatever is posted there unsuitable to be copy-pasted in a proprietary-licensed software. It takes a lot of effort to train people not to do that.

It might be the case that Open Source would have been created without RMS. However, you can't deny that Copyleft (the legal hack that guarantees that source code will stay open) was his invention. I am not aware of anyone else thinking

You are correct if you're only talking about software created by _yourself_. However, most of the software I got on 9-track tapes were collective works, with the usual case being that the copyright owner was the employer of the people

Minor correction on the first difference between LLVM and GCC: LLVM is under a permissive license, not a weak copyleft one. You seem to have misunderstood the goals of RMS, GCC, and the GNU project. It was never about creating "the b

It's not about "shaming", as these SBOMs might not be publicly available. But serious customers might have something to say when they realize that they are getting obsolete versions of components full of security issues.
