You remember Steve from IT? The only one who knew how to manage our backend infrastructure? Well, after that unfortunate plane crash, we uploaded the entire contents of his laptop, cellphone, and personal cloud to an artificial AI. We were able to revive him to bring him back. Even better now, because we have him resurrected in simulated form, he now exists in a perpetual state of working at the office and no longer needs to go home to rest or be with his family. That means with the new 24x7 productivity, we are expecting increased profits for this next quarter.

Was he talking about Zelenskyy?

Exactly. Is it really loyalty when you only have one option?

Rip iPhone.

Maybe a chronograph or piechart and calling it Snapshot?

Loading would be rewinding, going back in time, so with a counterclockwise arrow?

There is no section 15 or 16 in GPLv3, but I did find section 7 saying:

Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or

But that’s an optional thing that you must add onto the GPLv3 license. I’ll have to keep that in mind for the future.

That would explain why what I’ve read mentioned it’s not guaranteed in GPLv3 (when comparing to MIT). I’ll have to figure out what that notice would look like.

GPL has no requirements for author attribution which is contrary to the entire point of an MIT license.

That’s why I described it as joining the Borg. You release individualism and freely give it to the collective. That’s cool, and I get the ethos behind all that, but I don’t want to add any of those constraints to my code. I just don’t want credit for my work or the others to get lost. I don’t think it’s a hard ask.

Regardless, we ended up ultimately being a full replacement for the other project.

I don’t care if people make money to use my code. I just want my name attached to it somehow, even if you make it closed sourced which is MIT and OpenBSD. I hope you do use my code and even if you heavily reference it to make something new, carry that forward so more can learn and benefit.

I also don’t understand “better for the end user” arguments either. I have a library that people want to be included in another project, but that project is GPL. They won’t merge my code unless I change my code to be GPL. So everyone who wants them merged is out of luck. I can’t merge their code either with mine. What is supposed to happen is I freely give up my name to the code and restrict it to only being GPL and for GPL projects. Essentially, assimilate and join with the Borg. No, thanks.

And while that’s from my experience, I’ve also seen good projects get traction, have excitement over it, and fall off the earth because they end up making it GPL. Everyone interested in adopting it, personal or business, just disappear. Then something with less restrictions comes along and gets adopted.

End-users move to what’s better for them, and if you have a library that is only for GPL, you can end up limiting your options with a wasteful purity test. If you want it to be free you’d give freely with no restrictions. And if you think, “You can contact me to discuss licensing” that doesn’t happen. It’s still a restriction and almost nobody actually bothers.

European-Americans

They’re deluding themselves if they think removing the word “had” to avoid a passive voice is better (“judge had struck down”).

I will start calling my JSON Web Tokens impregnated goblins.

Recently, Mr. Lawrence said, customers have been snapping up used Teslas for a little over $20,000, after applying a $4,000 federal tax credit.

3rd sentence?

I’ll share the rest because the paywall:

Carmakers including Tesla, Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, the owner of Jeep, have announced plans for electric vehicles that would sell new for as little as $25,000.

More than half of the used electric vehicles on the market sell for less than $30,000, according to Recurrent, a research firm that focuses on the used E.V. market.

Fyi, you have (had) a decent malpractice suit against the first doctors, if you care to entertain that.

Wow, you think Teslas are “Chinese EVs”. You’re literally the first person I’ve encountered to think so. Also why lead into an article with a graphic of the least selling vehicle?

Doesn’t stop it from being misleading.

It’s called “burying the lede”.
