Or - by using this code in a commercial environment you have to buy a license. License costs $5'000'000'000'000.

Yes... Viewing the code in the browser and having it in temporary cache in your local storage. Otherwise - no rights. No rights to copy the code outside of the web-page. No rights to compile it. No rights to use it in any useful manner.

No. ToS of this website have that covered.

aka release code into public domain.

Really? I mean.... this is a seriously uninformed comment. No license is just that - no license. Just because you can see the code, does not give you permission to use it. A licence gives you permission to use it. License quite literally means permission. GPL is a licence, thus is a permission, even under strict permission.
So... GPL = permission. No license = no permission. So how are they equal?

That is not true. You have to license your code under GPL terms when distributing. Simple as that. GPL is not applicable to things that aren't being distributed and as a copyright owner, you are not forced to use GPL for your own code.

Or maybe people have the right to chose the license they release their code under. If you feel that they made a mistake, then please feel free to ask the copyright holders to change the license.

If you need to stay in "the zone" then you don't have a close knit team. You bring up the barrier to be further from the team, not closer.
Furthermore close knit teams know perfectly well when to leave each other alone and know each others' work habits.

As for people who work from home, it's total BS. These people work no harder than anyone else and, in case of children, are in a house that is not conducive to concentration. Working longer hours is not the same as being more productive. There is such thing as a separation of work space and home space that gets in the way and kills performance and concentration.

However, working remotely is not a bad thing per se. It just has to be regularly interchanged with working in the office.

Let me try pull a statement out of context... "500 million inhabitants" is only a third of China.
I would pull something of your's, but your comment history suggests that you can't read or express yourself in more than one sentence.

Oh... So you equate the french with the king.
Dig deeper.

A) Are you not aware of what the word "may" means?
B) English constitutional monarchy had a lot of stages, I never said which stage I was referring to.
Therefore I am confounding nothing

A) You're confounding democracy with freedom. It's the same mistake people make when they talk about capitalism, while thinking of free market. Or socialism/communism and totalitarianism/dictatorship.
B) Freedom may wear a crown. Remember that constitutional monarchy failed in France, yet England's monarchy was/is very much like a constitutional monarchy(it's limited by many laws, yet there is no formal "constitution"). The constitution of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was written by the king!

TFA is not about the particular case. It's about the principle, that has been confirmed and can be cited for consideration.

It's not "big government", it's "unpopular decisions". The EU isn't that big.

Yep. The kicker to the article is that a professional C# developer finds that Java is actually faster!
