    Yes you can, you can create a derivative and sell it all you want as long as you give out the complete source code (i.e including your changes) to all of your customers that ask for it, you don't have to give it to any one else but any one of your customers can freely distribute the sources to whoever they choose which is why companies like Red Hat doesn't bother with restricting the source to customers only.

    No he didn't, there is a difference between charging for the binaries and charging for the source code.

    Since when have the US courts bothered with what is legal or illegal in other countries?

    Limited? So you cannot call, text and install apps?

  6. While I do understand that feeding cattle requires more energy, land mass, pesticides and waste I have never understood the "water" aspect of it. All water used should be naturally recycled, i.e the cattle piss just like humans and the water that is absorbed by the crops that is later eaten by the cattle is used as water in the blood stream of the cattle -> more piss.

  7. Well one of our cats love raw vegetables like green peas, corn, lettuce and spinach. Not mixed with cat food but completely raw.

    Cats (and perhaps other predators as well) cannot create Taurine in their body like we humans can (so for cats Taurine is an essential amino acid and Taurine cannot be found in vegetables) and Taurine is mostly found in the guts so it makes sense that predators eats those first.

  9. AFAIK the main reason cats need meats is since Taurine is an essential amino acid for cats (which is an amino acid that we humans can produce) and which you cannot find in vegetables. Taurine can however be added to vegetable bases cat food just how it's added to i.e Red Bull energy drinks.

  10. Lots of cat feed over here in Europe also contains lots of vegetables, at lease the dry kind of cat food.

    Well it wasn't in the top 100 on the list that I linked, that the list was not from most viewed names was quite hidden on that site.

  12. Ok so I looked it up and yes fonts are not copyrightable in the US which is different from how it works over here in Europe.

  13. Why shouldn't a font by copyrightable just like any form of image?

    Looks like the difference is due to:

    Nameberry worked out their list by looking at the most viewed names on their website in the first half of 2017, rather than looking at real-life babies’ names.

    However to be nit-picking, #2 is not "the most common name" as original poster claimed.

    I didn't miss that, just look like you thing that extracting the title of a page constitutes "take the information and then sell it", something that is covered by fair use. It would be a whole different affair if i.e Google extracted and resold the amount of information that hiQ does, which of course was the point of the GP.

    But it seams that Linkedin want precisely that, i.e for search engines to continue to do what they do but not let hiQ do what hiQ does.

  22. That's because in the real world you get a problem and have to create a solution while questioners like these are more: solve this problem using this specific technique.
