Treefinder Revokes Software License For Users In Immigrant-Friendly Nations
dotancohen writes: The author of bioinformatics software Treefinder is revoking the license to his software for researchers working in eight European countries because he says those countries allow too many immigrants to cross their borders, effective 1 October. The author states, "Immigration to my country harms me, it harms my family, it harms my people. Whoever invites or welcomes immigrants to Europe and Germany is my enemy."
What a dork
Racist gene sequencing software.
Enough said!
From TFA it looks like Jobb is a racist asshole and his Treefinder software is outdated and has plenty alternatives.
Looks like a drama queen thing.

So basically he's a batshit crazy idiot who is ranting publicly and acting like a whiny bitch?
Congratulations, Gangolf Judd ... you're an idiot, and a moron.
And largely irrelevant, from reading this.
Everything about this article suggests some raving idiot sitting in the dark lamenting how the world won't adhere to his bullshit beliefs.
Whatever, and nothing of value was lost.

Movement within the EU is legal for those with an EU passport. How about addressing the Islam extremists that cause 90% of these cowards to run like little girls to alternative nations? Yes, that's right. It's not families leaving shit-hole arab and African countries, it's the very men that would be defending it had they been born in Europe or the US.
Unknown software author, who is also a dick to human rights, does not allow people to use his already strictly licensed, equally unknown software, that was previously already not available to all of the USA.
Such news. Very licensed. Wow.
Are Europeans going to start another World War? I would have thought the first two would have taught you a lesson.
FTFA:
Treefinder has been used in hundreds of scientific papers ...
"Hundreds" doesn't look like a big user base. I think those who are qualified for this specific research task should be well-informed of their tools, so they should be able to adapt fairly quickly, either by training themselves with alternative tools, or making their own.
Is there a industry requirement that everyone who produces genealogy software must be an immense dick about it?
Granted, chances are the guy doesn't actually have the right to cancel people's purchases like this. However, the fact that it's halfway-reasonable for him to think he has that right is yet another illustration of how ridiculously overreaching copyright has become.
Again and again, we're seeing a thing that is (a) a government-granted monopoly, not a right, (b) only supposed to be temporary, and (c) not designed for the benefit of the author, but rather for the benefit of society, perverted to the point where people think it trumps actual property rights!
This guy's attitude is fucking sick and disgusting, and that's before I even take the bigotry into account!

Using software from people with such views is not recommendable anyway: they might have their own views of proper math and backdooring and whatever else. Makes one glad that guns are not as easily available in Germany as they are in the U.S. The guy sounds like prime material for going on a killing spree because he is making others responsible for his own problems of dealing with his life.
First, it is of course an owners right to limit distribution. If someone wants to sell only to people with three nipples, that is their right. Second, no one exists in a vacuum. The tools used to write software were probably developed and refined over time by corporate drones, kids in the basement, and, yes, even immigrants who took jobs away from hard working locals who could use the bread to feed their family. Read the rant on the down load page to see how this guy thinks he developed this software independently. It is the standard conservative delusion that we do not depend on others to accomplish what we have. Third, from the article, "Although the change in the license may be a nuisance for some researchers, the program is far from irreplaceable". People who write software like this really want it to be used. Most software is used because it simply what people are trained to use. For instance, Origin is used because everyone is trained on it, even though it may not be the best, and even though it is extremely expensive. In reality lots of students pirate copies of the software. This software does not appear to cost anything, so one of two things will happen. I suppose that labs will just continue to use it, even without a license, unless it prevented by peer review. If that happens different software will be used. Again, reading the rant it seems like just another conservative having a temper tantrum because someone else that does not look like the developer is getting free stuff.

I'm not sure that's possible. Can you revoke a licence of an old program? You can change the licence for a new version, sure, but when I buy (or download) a program, the licence that comes with it *at that time* is the licence I have to adhere to I would think.
But IANAL and the world is a strange and illogical place, so...
Problem: Immigrants are destroying my life!
Solution: Prevent people in some countries from using some niche software very few people care about, least of all politicians, "big corporate" or said immigrants.

This is an interesting way to take action. Not politically correct but as political correctness is almost unlimited immigration and anyone who dares say otherwise must be a racist xenophobe. As someone with kids in school I say with complete certainty that illegal immigration, which is one step worse than Europe's bungled current immigration, definitely hurts my family. How you ask? Class size and diverted resources for one. About 20% of the school is either an anchor baby or illegal. Much higher if you go back a generation. Larger classes and funds spent teaching them basic English mean a diminished education for the legal kids.

I can just hear djb's weird old "thou shalt not build binaries with patches applied, thou shalt force users to themselves apply your unwelcome patches and apply them manually" licensing from Qmail and daemontools echoing through my head.
Heck, if he'd not done the stupid licensing with daemontools, we'd have that now instead of the spreading ooze that is daemontools. Here's to software authors getting all..... strange.... about licensing!
What some people fail to realise is that a lot of immigrants are of benefit. Skilled professionals from India, laborers from Eastern Europe are all good. And when the Muslims rise up against us they will be on our side, so the more the better
Nice to see the Islamic Internet Defense Force is up in arms over this.

It is not true that these are largely displaced Syrian families. Most of the migrants are young men and 4 out of 5 are not from Syria. In the highest traditions of Slashdot, I haven't read the article, but just from the summary I am not going to assume that this individual is a racist jerk.
If part of your basic assumptions include that every country (or region, like the EU) should have open borders, you should question that assumption. The same thought process applies on the USA's southern border. A constant stream of undocumented, unscreened, and (ahem) illegal immigrants is not healthy for a country for multiple reasons, and there's nothing wrong with decrying a leftist-enabled descent into greater levels of cultural and legal anarchy.
Right? They got completely rekt by the white devil.

Apparently most of them are grown men, and they're not all coming from Syria. ISIS openly said they are going to take advantage of the situation and send fighters all over the world.
I maintain the view that all military-serve-aged males among the refugees should be conscripted to fight ISIS instead of fleeing. If they refuse, carpet bomb the Middle East into rubble and then send everyone back home.
Damn straight, just ask any Native American!
You mean, the people who were born here to migrants from Asia? Those "native" Americans? Anyone born in the US is just as native as those we call Native Americans. And they (that sprawling collection of stone age tribes) were quite good at using violence to take territory, possessions, and people from each others' tribes and turf. Playing the Native American card in order to distract from the problem of huge numbers of immigrants swamping Europe's entitlement states is intellectually lazy, at best.

The part about Sweden is a theoretical possibility, in that somebody managed to dig up an old law, and not even about homes.
The German one is about a woman who rented an apartment in a building, and the land lord has decided to stop renting out apartments, and sell the whole building. She has been given over half a years notice, apparently more than German law requires.
The headline is just right wing extremist propaganda.
Its what I feel when I see these Europeans griping about what most of them deride the US for. It may be wrong but it is funny.
The problem is that we're living in an age of rampant re-definition. We have concepts like cyber-assault. We have changing meanings of climate change. We have wildly flexible definitions of "refugee", etc.
The EU has recently redefined "refugee" to include "economic refugees". Yes, 'economic refugees' fleeing poverty are now "entitled" to refugee status.
This is social justice taken to the point of civilizational destabilization.
The fact that the media is apparently unable to make heads-or-tales of the massive numbers of refugees from *non war-torn* nations like Pakistan, Egypt and across North Africa, shows just how deep our dysfunctional ability to define "refugee" has become.
And yes, there are malicious actors in the mix.
What is perhaps most disturbing is that Europe's "solution" to a problem on a different continent is to open it's doors and share it's wealth. While Syria's neighboring nations haven't lifted a finger.
Europe seems to be flying on the vapors of it's own moral awesomeness without a shred of financial, political or historic awareness.
This will of course, end extremely badly.
But that's what happens when you allow radical philosophers to redefine core civilizational concepts.
For the record: There's no such thing as an economic refugee. Or cyber violence for that matter.
Why is this dude even getting /. coverage? Holy shit you're not showing empathy with him are ya?
Sounds like the typical Slashdot poster from Europe to me. It's no accident that xenophobia and anti-Americanism go hand-in-hand in Europe, they always have done so.
Doubtful on all counts. H1B visas take jobs from Americans. Its only good for the lucky visa holders and the corporations who don't have to pay citizens of the country where they reside. Its a joke to think muslims will rise up against us. They kill each other more often than they kill us.
The major innovation that the Christians created (and Islam copied) is the idea of "you must belong to us". Christianity used "if you don't you go to hell" - a concept unheard of before then, while Islam came up with "and you can't quit us afterwards".
Up until then, Judaism, Hinduism, and the rest of the world's religions were "If you want to join us, you have to prove yourself worthy".
So don't go complaining about Islam being expansionist, when they just copied the Christians.

The guy is simply desperate to get some attention.
I live in the EU and the mainstream media are totally biased pro-immigrant. Comments on the immigrant issues are usually turned offed, polls are not published, articles are 100% immigrant-friendly.
If you do not follow this pattern - you are racist , xenophob etc.
However if you talk to people - people are 80% anti-immigrant.
We do believe we should help the poor people but the help should go to camps in LIban, Turkey, Jordania, to women and children who are there, not to young fit guys coming here. We should also increase military help to stabilize situation in Syria.
The number of immigrants coming is way over the assimilation ability of Germany and other popular countries.
That's an entirely different situation. Native Americans didn't allow large numbers of Europeans to settle in their midst; in fact, they fought it every step of the way. Native Americans lost because European diseases spread like wildfire through their populations and left them unable to defend themselves.
Immigration is an important economic issue. It's lowers wages. It's a way to balance economic forces but if unchecked it gives businesses an unfair pool of low wages employees. If you don't respect parts of your country for it's economic impact on your then I don't see anything wrong with what your doing as a "statement of protest". You have the unalienable right to express your dissatisfaction. But being realistic it just won't have an economic impact.
There should be a list for people to volunteer to shelter some immigrants. Anyone who signs up will be partnered with a number of immigrants of their choosing. They'll be fully responsible for all of their needs (clothing shelter, food, healthcare, education, integration with society) and fully responsible for any wrongdoings they commit.
They won't get to handpick their immigrants. They might get a family that is looking to integrate with their host country, or they might get violent and backward ones.
Who here wants to sign up? I sure see a lot of comments here of people demonizing all anti-immigrant sentiment.
And this is why I like freedom in my licences as a consumer.

But I certainly will never give you a way to pull this on me retroactively or on a product I currently have and rely on.

I maintain the view that all military-serve-aged males among the refugees should be conscripted to fight ISIS instead of fleeing. If they refuse, carpet bomb the Middle East into rubble and then send everyone back home.
And women... unless you want to go public about how women are unfit for military work and how they should stay at home and make sandwich for the patriarchy? Yeah, I thought so. Filthy coward.

Nationalism, yes.
But wanting to stop the flow if illegal immigrants is not racism, because you don't care what color they are - just that people should immigrate legally, so that they can come in at a rate that they can mesh well with existing society.
That is merely realizing that a national identity has value, and is worth protecting...
Mind you, I disagree with how they are trying to protect against immigration - what if some of the people they have blocked are supporters of their cause? Perhaps instead they should demand public statements on websites of the companies denouncing illegal immigration.
"There is more worth loving than we have strength to love." - Brian Jay Stanley
Doesn't he know that it's up to the 'elite' to force everybody on Earth to associate with people they don't want to, and then call them 'racist' when they speak out against this unnatural practice?
What is the end goal of mass immigration? The complete destruction of nations, cultures, languages, and races. And idiots on the Left cheer this on as some kind of wonderful benefit to mankind.
And that was a good thing. Replacing current population by waves of migrants was good back then just as it is good now. Don't listen the whitephobic bigots, the white migrant brought lot of advancement to the primitive american savages. They also culturally enriched them.
In the same way, as explained by the liberal media, the brown migrants enrich us so much. #RefugeeWelcome
If they're of benefit to us, they are of even more benefit to their own people, in their own countries.
There are only three possibilities, with regard to the skills of immigrants, and ALL of them mean that there should be no immigration:
1) Immigrants are less intelligent and less hard working (on average) than the indigenous population. Therefore we don't want them.
2) Immigrants are of the same intelligence and work as hard as the indigenous population (on average). We already have more than enough people in our countries, they are already overcrowded, therefore we don't want them.
3) Immigrants are more intelligent and hard working (on average) than the indigenous population. Therefore they are desperately needed in the DEVELOPING countries which they come from - otherwise all the best people will leave those countries and they will continue to get worse.
That wasn't difficult, was it?
H1B visas aren't given to immigrants. In fact, immigrants and would-be immigrants are specifically excluded from being allowed to use them.You're here on a temporarily basis with one, and you have to leave after it expires, no option for applying for permanent residency, let alone citizenship.
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
From what people actually working in that field are saying, this software was already on his way out for some, and already replaced for others. I'd say the risk of piracy here is low.
So he is a raving racist lunatic?
First warning sign - can't discriminate between immigrants and refugees.
Second warning sign - totally incorrect about immigrant benefits to societies, because immigrants provide a net benefit to their host economies.
Obviously the license change is not enforceable, as it's totally racist, but I do hope that all researchers stop using this software.
I would also hope that this guy is done for hate speech in the near future, after reading the article. He's a bona-fide nutjob that would appear to be on the verge of a terrorist act against those his discriminates against.
The concept of 'melting pot' was actually a good one.
With it, both the new-comers and pre-existing folks each adapt a bit.
The ground rules are the laws in the new country.
The new-commers should wish and expect to adapt the ways of the new environment.
The pre-existing folks should expect some minor adjustments as the new combined culture picks up a bit of the best of the newcomers.
Somehow we have lost this two-sided balanced idea.
The alternative seems to be for the new-comers to try to re-create the country they just left in the new land.
At best, they do this in a discrete enclave inside the new country.
At worst, they try to force their ways on everybody else and cause strife.
To make and keep a functioning society, there has to be some common thinking which this destroys.
Trying to make a country like this violates physics. (See perhaps France?)
If a big mass of folks come to a country and try to change the country to be like the bad place they just left, then that sounds more like invasion than immigration. Depending on the intentions of the newcommers, this guy may be justified or completely nuts.
Perhaps permission to enter a country seeking refuge should come with the agreement that you are willing to adapt to the ways of the place taking you in?
Why shouldn't the women fight? The men did it for the last few centuries. Let the women take the casualties. They've earned that right, haven't they?
huh, a software developer that's a unstable nutbag. There's something you don't see every day.
the preceding comment is my own and in no way reflects the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Not so much. This is more like the opposite case, as if some of the Native Americans decided to flee from other Native Americans by moving to Europe, then demanding the right to set up teepees wherever they want, hunt buffalo, or whatever else they wanted anywhere in Europe, instead of learning and adopting European culture. Then complaining they were being discriminated against when the Europeans didn't bend over backwards to let them do whatever they wanted.
The primitive culture is trying to usurp the more advanced one, and for some reason elements of the more advanced culture are letting them. When immigrant groups adapt to their new culture, like you generally see in the U,S., they don't have the types of problems seen in Europe now.
As unfair as it might be I think the response to the crisis is wrong. We should NOT welcome the refugees and asylum seekers. By and large these people are the educated people of quality with some wealth in that region that are leaving. If anything it might be self serving to allow them to come to the US or enter the EU.
If Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan etc are ever to be anything other than squalid hell holes its the very people who are leaving that would otherwise have the cause (families) and capability (education + money) to make those places better. While denying them entry in Europe and the US might be sentencing them to a life time of struggle or death letting immigrate dooms the places they come from to being dominated by the Islamic extremist loonies.
If we ever want to see those places settle down, and see it be possible for people to have a normal life there the only approach might be to make getting out more hopeless than taking back their countries from the crazies.

just that people should immigrate legally, so that they can come in at a rate that they can mesh well with existing society.
Say the body responsible for setting a nation's immigration policy has decided to admit refugees on the basis that emergency evacuation from a war zone outweighs the difficulty of "mesh[ing] well with existing society". In that case, they are immigrating legally.
Much depends on what the license actually says. If there's a clause that says that he can revoke your license at any time for any reason or for no reason at all, then this might possibly be legal. Why someone would want to pay for such a license is beyond me.
That said, this guy is cutting off his nose to spite his face.
And this bit, "I want to stress that this license change is not against my colleagues in the USA, but against a small rich elite there that misuses the country's power to rule the world. The USA is our worst enemy,” is the same approach that the "small rich elite" uses to justify the embargo against Cuba, and is just as effective.

The whole debacle is circling around the idea that since drinking water from the water fountain is good, drinking it from a high-pressure fire hydrant is also good.
The immigrants themselves did, by (literally!) voting with their feet. After all, they could have headed in any direction -- the Caucasus countries, Iran (and points east), the Arabian peninsula, Africa -- but they picked Europe.
There's little ethical difference between immigrants trying to import their culture and imperialists trying to export theirs. If you think the latter is wrong, then you should logically think the former is wrong too. The right of the newcomers not to have the existing culture forced upon them is trumped by the right of the existing people's right not to have their culture supplanted by the newcomers.
That said, I'm not at all convinced that (a) there are too many refugees to be assimilated or (b) that "but they might not assimilate" is a valid reason for refusing to accept refugees in the first place.

I've listened to Alex Jones almost daily for many years. I think I'm qualified to decide for myself if he is a kook or not. He points out the hypocracy and lies and deception of the mainstream media on a daily basis and provides links to absolutely everything he says. He is very raw, but I like that about him.
He sounds like a frustrated worried person who wants his voice to be heard. People never have a referendum on such things as mass immigration because the voters would always reject mass immigration. He must know that he has no way of controlling who uses the software so he is saying this out of frustration. He wants a voice. Browbeating and name calling anybody who has an opinion about immigration does not work any more I think. You cannot blame the Syrians for taking the opportunity that is offered to them for a better life. People may be saying no more but politicians are saying we will take more. If somebody is offering you a better life you would also take it. The politicians are saying that "Deutschland has a ageing population and desperately needs young immigrants. Deutschland will have more pensioners than it has workers it will have more old people than any other European country." I think somebody in England said: all these immigrants have dependents elderly dependents which would all be fetched over to live in Deutschland, and those other countries in Europe who have selected to take a proportion of immigrants. So they wouldn't be curing the problem they would be adding to the problem of a ageing population. So you see there are so many different arguments. The only thing ( I ) know for sure is that people should have a say. it is their country and politicians work for them they do not work for politicians. They should have a say they should have a referendum. Nobody likes to be rejected but you cannot be loved by everybody that's life.

Congrats, you can finally understand what the US is like :)
You'd be thinking of the Anglo-Saxons in Great Britain as an example of that.
They even tried to change the name of the country.
One hundred years ago, there were three million fugitives in Europe. There were only two places they could go, France or Holland. But most of them could hope that one or another the war would stop and they could go back home.
There are currently much less fugitives, but their future seems much more uncertain.

No. The GPL imposes license terms on distributors, not users. Users have no need to accept the terms of the GPL; they already have all the rights they need to use the software. But in order to re-distribute the software (modified or not), there needs to be additional permission given in order to supersede copyright law. The GPL does that, in consideration for the restrictions it imposes on said distribution.

Holy shit, he's a racist idiot.
This is a great example of what can happen if you rely on non-free software. The author of it may suddenly decide, for reasons that have nothing to do with you and that you couldn't possibly control, that you aren't allowed to use it anymore. But you were relying on it? Sorry, you're out of luck. Life's hard.
"I'm too busy to research this and form an educated opinion, but I do have time to tell everyone my uninformed opinion."
This.
It's about time too. The slow realisation that the computer doesn't work unless you type the software yourself. Wait until the mass realise that the computer from the store requires them to actually program it and the operating system that may have been supplied with it was a sales trick (oh, you can't view that image 8-) Ah I see the problem, you need to upgrade to the latest Windows 17, that'll be an extra $100 please (another trick)), and that they haven't been given the technical programming documentation - as more and more people refuse to give away there software for reasons similar to the Treefinder case.
Much depends on what the license actually says. If there's a clause that says that he can revoke your license at any time for any reason or for no reason at all, then this might possibly be legal.
I can't tell precisely for Germany (there should be many resemblances due to the European Union at least), but in France, you generally are in theory allowed to retract your usage authorization to a third-party, but you must compensate him fairly for any cost related to this retraction. In most cases, the cost would be prohibitive (even more if lawsuits are filled and you have to pay this cost too...), particularly if this is really a two-day warning (which in itself is generally an abusive clause anyway...).
Without a fair compensation being presented at the same time as the retraction, you could, as a user, consider the retraction abusive, thus null and void. So you don't have to fill a lawsuit, if you still can use the work in question (that is, if the license is not remotely retracted, disabling/removing the work, or disabling remote features).
Why someone would want to pay for such a license is beyond me.
Many software/game/website licenses include such statements, or statements which could be legally interpreted as such in the US and some other countries... And in many cases, they don't care about law anyway, and most individuals would not fill a lawsuit or start an awareness/boycott campaign...

Software licenses are subject to copy right law. If copyright law would not exist, the licenses would neither.

Because a "sane" Muslim living in a somewhat lenient muslim country would be an complete idiot if he would go to totalitarian Saudi Arabia.
Hint: the germans abused the term Arier and declared them selves Ariers, an "Arab" is the equivalent of an Arier in the Muslim world. They consider themselves a few echelons above ordinary Muslims.
Like Switzerland other Muslims are welcome for the Hatch to leave their money there ... and are supposed to quietly leave in time.

Copyright law does not force software to be licensed instead of sold. This BS got started because some people thought that (since, technically speaking, the software has to be copied into RAM in order to run), but US copyright law specifically says that sort of incidental copying doesn't count.

While I agree on general principles, I'm not sure this particular group of people values the contributions of women overmuch. Though I do recall a documentary I saw a few years back about a paramilitary squad of ethnic Kurdish females who fought against (IIRC) the Taliban, to some amount of success. Beyond that they were bad. as. fuck. I thought it was hilarious how humiliating it must be for a group like the Taliban to suffer casualties at the hands of women.
As an anecdote standing in for data, all this tells us is that you move in racist circles.
The rich bankers need their guilt massaged away. And so, as they send off their bombers into Syria, they purge this guilt by funnelling the refugees into Europe on top of their own slaves.. Maximum respect to Gangolf Jobb.
Shut the fuck up, you stupid racist. Let's hope that idiot never finds a good job again.

What a fascinating bunch of opinions, and so many wrong or out-of-touch with life as we live it today. Maybe you missed it, but we (the majority of humanity) stopped living the tribal/familial-governance lifestyle a LONG time ago. The fact that you called out King Harald and completely missed out on the social/political grouping of feudalism is telling of your intentional arguementative blindness.
Nationalism came into vogue for many reasons. Here's a benign one: societies were organizing into larger and larger groups, and the Nation provides a easy to understand boundry. What is a Nation, after all, but a body of land and a people who identify with it and each other, a culture. Palestinians are still that, even if they have lived all their lives in a camp in another country, aren't they? As another poster noted, an American on the Moon is still an American.
Finally, I submit that there is also a fundamental difference between Xenophobia and the-desire-to-NOT-let-huge-numbers-of-foreigners-move-in-all-at-once. I don't have to hate or fear them to know that these refugees are going to throw their targeted arrival countries into a major recession as the social services are suddenly overwhelmed.
Shhh, facts are unpopular. Since you're not for immigration you're a racist.
This is not very different from calls to boycott countries or companies for various political reasons, it is just that political orientation of the individual is perhaps different from the people who usually resort to similar tactics. However there is one big difference, he is within his right to do this and only hurts himself in making such a stand whereas calls to boycott companies and countries often causes collateral economic damage that harms innocent people.

People in Germany for the most part don't blame the refugees. They put the blame on the government and they are correct.
The German law says, that no one can ask for asylum if he enters the country from another safe country. Germany is surrounded by "safe" countries so there is no *legal* way to enter the country by food, train or car. And that law is not just a law, it is the Grundgesetz, Germany's constitution.
It would be the Governments job to apply the rules of the law but they choose to ignore it. The government opened the borders and let hundreds of thousands of refugees in - overwhelming law enforcement and local and state level refugee agencies,. Scores of refugees slipped away without even being registered, others simply refused to go where officials asked them to go.
Germany has a bad track record in regard to the integration of people from other Muslim countries - but it's not easy to integrate people with different cultural values. And there's no long- or short term plan what to do with the refugees. Small communities have to deal with hundreds of foreigners, States start to use eminent domain laws to take houses from their rightful owners to place refugees, in some areas, citizens are warned not to wear mini skirts because it could be "misunderstood" by refugees, fighting between different refugee national- or religious groups is common, there are numerous reports of rape and forced prostitution within the refugee camps . And more refugees are on the way. Thousands and thousands more.
The current situation is a nightmare. I completely understand why the citizens are starting to complain. The government failed to apply and to protect the constitution. That has (for the most part) nothing to do with racism or nationalism going wild. The people demand a plan, they want to know how the government is planning to deal with those refugees and what to do with all the refugees that are still "on the roads" towards Germany.
Alright, I decided to look up the section of law I was referring to. See 17 USC ss. 117, Limitations on exclusive rights: Computer programs:
The entire basis and rationale for EULAs is that the act of installing the software on the user's PC involves making a copy and thus "would have been" copyright infringement, so a license would be necessary to cure that infringement. It's a "nice" side effect (from the copyright holder's perspective) that such a license requirement provides an opportunity for the copyright holder to impose additional restrictions to which he would not otherwise be entitled (if he were, for example, selling a book instead). But as you can see, that legal theory is wrong because the code I cited renders such licenses wholly unnecessary.
Sigh... yet another person who doesn't understand the GPL.
Here's the difference between EULAs and the GPL: EULAs (attempt to) restrict mere use of the software -- a thing which copyright law (as I mentioned) already gives the owner [of the copy] the explicit right to do.
The GPL, on the other hand, has no affect on mere use of the software; in fact, the user does not need to agree to or even care about the GPL in order to do so. What the GPL does is restrict -- and enable -- distribution of the software, a right the owner [of a copy] does not have by default. In consideration for giving the owner [of a copy] the right to copy and redistribute, the GPL requires that said person agree to abide by its terms. That consideration is what makes the GPL valid. EULAs, in contrast, do not give the owner [of a copy] any rights he didn't already have, thus provide no consideration, and thus are not valid contracts.
"[Regarding the 'cloud,'] ownership was what made America different than Russia." -- Woz
Excuse me. "Effect," not "affect."
"[Regarding the 'cloud,'] ownership was what made America different than Russia." -- Woz
The author has already given full-access licence with the latest version of the software, non-revokable, back in 2011. If an update is scheduled, only THEN he can alter the distribution and usage selectively.
Furthermore, there is no legal way to back this up, since the international trieaties forbid any customer discrimination based on race, religion, political views, etc. This means that someone WILL use his software and if he decides to prosecute him/her, the court will drop the charges.
In practice, there are several thousands of scientist in other countries that will be willing to help. Send them your scripts and they will run them for you. No one can bring racism into science. Period.

"which blocks more ads? Answer: uBlock/Adblock" by andymadigan (792996) on Sunday June 14, 2015 @12:04AM (#49907001)
WRONG - "Almost ALL Ads Blocked"'s PAID NOT TO by default-> http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/...
&
ABP too http://finance.yahoo.com/news/...
UBlock/Adblock = far less efficient on CPU & RAM (added messagepassing, SLOW usermode vs. hosts in kernelmode) & NEITHER does a fraction of what hosts do in more speed, security, reliability, & anonymity.

"I'm more than happy to spend an extra 1% of my computer's power to block far more ads than your shitty idea" by andymadigan (792996) on Sunday June 14, 2015 @12:04AM (#49907001)
You're 'happy' being illogical & stupid?
AdBlock's 4++gb & 100% CPU use inefficiency -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...

ClarityRay defeats it & NOT hosts (clarityray BLOCKS addons via native browser methods).

YOU started it -> http://apple.slashdot.org/comm... & here too http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
I finished YOU WITH IT all above!

P.S.=> Howard Stark in "Capt. America" - hosts (Cap's Shield) vs. AdBlock & variants (steel):
"It's stronger than steel & 1/3rd the weight"
So
"Run, Forrest: RUN!!!" & "eat your words"

"Chrome has thankfully started warning users who try to download it." - by andymadigan (792996) on Sunday June 14, 2015 @03:48PM (#49909947)
Google can try explaining it vs. proof my ware's CLEAN:
MalwareBytes' hpHosts Admin (MalwareBytes employee who also has the source & verified it safe too) hosts & recommends it -> http://hosts-file.net/?s=Downl... & MalwareBytes = BEST antivirus per this VERY recent testing of them all http://www.av-test.org/en/news...
&
It's GUARANTEED safe & clean per it being checked by 57 antivirus programs recently in BOTH its 64-bit model https://www.virustotal.com/en/...

In its 32-bit model also https://www.virustotal.com/en/...

In case you hadn't noticed it, like when you made your PUNY THREATS effetely *trying* to "blackmail me" on Hilton Hotels here http://slashdot.org/comments.p... ?
(which I could give 2 fucks about, I made the money already on a successfully done large scale project with them on contract)
I SMOKED YOU TOTALLY @ EVERY TURN, & who started it twice here http://slashdot.org/comments.p... AND HERE TOO http://apple.slashdot.org/comm... saying "I should die painfully" etc. - et al?
You failed badly on all accounts.
APK
P.S.=> Especially funny is that you work for CLOUDWORDS (an advertiser affiliate of Marketo) which tips your hand & PROVED YOUR ILL MOTIVES for your stupidity, running away from this most of all -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
... apk
Malnutrition is a serious physical illness. Dave420 eating his words is a sure ticket to it. See here http://slashdot.org/comments.p... so you wouldn't want to see your boyfriend whom you so suddenly appear (sockpuppet) to defend to die of it would you? LMAO!
Dave420's segin sockpuppet persona appears! Dave420 eats his words: malnutrition's serious illness http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
* Speaking of schizophrenia: It's so "odd" (lol, not) that you so suddenly appear (sockpuppet) to defend to your alterego Dave420 (not)...
You wouldn't want Dave420 to die of malnutrition due to "eating his words" constantly vs. myself, now would you? LMAO!
APK
P.S.=> Stale old "worn out" unoriginal bs is all you're capable of Dave420 and projecting your own "modus operandi" in you using multiple registered accounts sockpuppets to "defend yourself" with, using worn out crap like that? Please... I know you're stupid, but don't be so obvious! apk
The headline is just right wing extremist propaganda.
Actually, it turns out to be true:

It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
