I donâ(TM)t know. If they actually hired Cavill and let him steer creative, it could be glorious.

I am afraid you do not understand. There are no furher restrictions placed on your right to redistribute the sources. You can freely do it. It's just that it means Redhat will terminate their customer relationship with you. Which means they no longer have to offer you binaries. Which means they no longer have to offer your sources either.

It's devilishly clever legalese. Stupid and annoying yes, but also devilishly clever.

Í don't like to throw the word around, but you are literally asking for fascism. FUCK THAT.

That's absurd. The fact that you chose to not actively exercise your property rights for a prolonged time IS, in itself, exercising your property rights. Not a prelude to being stripped of them.

You could actually open the most recent annual reports for a few large insurers and see for yourself where most of the income over time actually comes from.

Instead of embarrasing yourself in public.

If you think insurance underwriting is how insurers make most of their money, you have absolutely zero idea about how insurance actually works and where the profits are coming from.

"It's hard to imagine wanting to continue to working on WordPress after this," he added

Good, now resign, from ALL related positions and never come back so that eventually, trust in Wordpress as a platform can be restored.

Most people neither need nor want a powerful PC. They are entirely happy with their smartphone. For gaming purposes, you need to spend AT LEAST 3 times the price of a console to get maybe 10% better framerates and way more to get a signicantly notable difference. Most people do not find that enticing at all.

Lots of people enjoy LARPing that we shouldn't shame people because it supposedly doesn't work, except it does work. Shaming, ostracising and peer pressure ALL work, which is why they have persisted as effective ways of shaping societies for many millennia.

After the OG showed everybody merely abiding by the license is not anywhere near enough and that you also need to bow down before his nonsensical whims? What do you think?

Must be nice, living in this cozy alternative dimension where the "under penalty of perjury" clause of DMCA actually has ANY sort of teeth.

It doesn't.

I challenge you to show me just 3 actual court cases where somebody was succesfully convincted of perjury for submitting fraudulent DMCA notices. Can you do it?

No, THAT's nonsense. The DMCA is entirely useless forr anything BUT abuse, since for some obscure legal reason it's "under penalty of perjury" clause is basically entirely null and void.

Counterpoint: if you can't reliably earn enough off your own skillset in a bonus/commission model, you don't deserve a salary that is piggybacking off ME.

I hope you are not a math teacher.

You're talking as if this is somehow an immoral and/or unethical position to hold. No, that's backwards. What's immoral is the idea that it's your god-given right to hitch yourself to and massively benefit off the superachievers. It is not.
