Huh? There are lots of people who have released software under the GPL that don't get the GPL. All you need to get them to say is that they are attaching license X to image Y and they have authority to license for redistribution under X.
It doesn't work. I've been active off an on for 4 years. I was walking a novice through releasing a photo he owned the rights to. An email went back 5x. If creative commons needs specific language in their release email then CC site should generate the email with the language.
The person who was working with him, incidentally was stating things that were legally false. I had to write a very complex paragraph to satisfy CC.
There are some really bad assumptions made. Try it yourself, go through the site as a person who: did not create the image the image is not released elsewhere into the public domain you own copyright, or a license with unlimited transferable redistribution rights you are willing to release the image under the GFDL or SA-3
There are millions who own copyright or have those sorts of licenses.
I agree completely in 2006-7 wikipedia used images to the degree they were legal. For example they would freely used a promotional image of a star if no free image was available. A policy of a bias towards copyleft but not not a requirement. Also they would use images licensed to wikipedia.
Then the policies shifted to essentially nothing but GFDL unless you go through amazing hoops. The result is that images on wikipedia are far worse than they were 2 1/2 years ago and the rate of improvement is very slow.
BTW I've contacted actors for photos they would be willing to SA3 or GFDL to wikipedia and they don't often write back.
You use a product written by people who didn't foresee what you were going to use it for and they end up integrating changes to benefit someone whose use they didn't foresee. By keeping the code free over the long haul you get fascinating cooperation at the code level.

If any parents are reading this, just wanted to mention I've (+other's help) written an article on wikipedia covering the educational programming language domain:
1) Translation issues 2) People stink at imagining large numbers.
For example we were discussing the probability that no out of 2000 people had a property. It turned out to even 50/50 chance this characteristic had to 5x less likely than being hermaphrodite. In a group of 2000 people essentially everything present in the population is present in the sample. But that doesn't jive with our intuition because we don't think of 2000 as a huge number.
Thanks. I learned about directories long before I learned about folders and files. I never realized that. Maybe file -> binder -> shelf -> cabinet -> row -> room for: file -> parent directory -> grand parent....
The reason they are rated harder is that there is a belief that interactivity is more absorbing than simply watching. In the same way that movies are rated harder than books. Very few books are rated 18 or over while movies containing the material in these free to sell to any child would certainly be NC-17 or X.
As for why it shouldn't exist. At least for several decades when movies were released R and PG (or later R vs. PG-13) the PG versions almost always outperformed the R versions. Today there is almost no market for NC-17. So it appears that even in movies there is a cut off at which people's interest drops sharply.
What evidence do you have for this untapped demand for AO games? There are AO games, porn games and Henai games which have sex and they don't sell in any kind of high numbers. Games with lots of sex seem at this point to be a niche product. What evidence do you have that there is some untapped market. As for profanity I believe M games can have profanity.
I don't know. The last message (within 24 hours of her death was), "Everybody in O'Fallon knows how you are. You are a bad person and everybody hates you. Have a shitty rest of your life. The world would be a better place without you."
Here is how I would prove cause: -- Given the closeness in time the message was a concurrent cause -- Given the fact that additional stress was added and her reactions all during the relationship this is a combined cause
If the jury agrees on either one of those then that's enough to establish proximate cause. If the defense wants to make a case for an alternate theory, that is a more likely cause of the suicide unrelated to the note that's an affirmative defense. I think unrelated is going to be hard.
I own the first edition of CJKV but I find Fonts and encodings to be far more useful. Obviously if you are working heavily in any of these languages the 2nd best book is worth having but I'd say that F&E feels like a systematic treatment while CJKV feels like 1000 pages of webarticles on the topic.
My guess is the "something" was Sun Java desktop. So yeah it looks like Munich did transition successfully. Sun itself did not. As for what I'm basing it on, their own statements about how they didn't successfully transition. They abandoned the project and the focus in 2005.
It is nice to know they were successful in Munich, but my guess is that the windows roots weren't as deep their.
You are correct there are about a 1/2 dozen criteria that elevated a manslaughter to a murder. Intent is one, reasonable expectation is another. They are separable however, for example if I give someone less than a usually fatal dose of a drug but I intended to give them a fatal dose and they die from it....
I think she should have been charged with manslaughter not hacking. I think the DA wanted to charge her with something and they had already given immunity to Drew's employee, who was the person most directly responsible for the death. "Hacking" was the one charge Drew was solely responsible for.
Yeah this is one of the differences. You need malice afterthought (i.e. take an act which is likely to cause death), gross disregard for life.... in the US to convicted of murder. I can't see Lori Drew's acts rising to gross disregard for life.
First off bullies have been charged with manslaughter (or more properly adjudicated a delinquent for manslaughter) for example when a kid running away from bullies runs into traffic and is killed or rides his bike into a tree. And it is the disparity here that is key, this was an adult organizing a conspiracy.
OK change the scenario to me impersonating a mechanic and convincing you to "fix" your brakes in a way that causes a fatal accident. It is not the fraud that is key but the intent to cause harm that results in death.
That's the difference between manslaughter and murder. In murder there is an intent to cause death. In manslaughter there is an intent to cause harm but the death resulted accidentally. For example if I punch someone and they die that's a manslaugher.
Why isn't it manslaughter. There is an obvious disparity of knowledge.
For example lets assume you think I'm a doctor and I write you a prescription for "Coumatetralyl" (a rat poison). I give you a sample below what I think is the lethal dose. You take it and die. I'm not a doctor and I told you what I was giving you.
The combination of misrepresentation + intent to harm makes manslaughter.
It might be worse than that. Using your example they might have tens of thousands of lines in auto-lisp that are custom. And no one remembers exactly what's in their. Conversion projects are very hard. But ultimately if they get the city migrated and a few people have a second computer (either real or virtual) to run specialized software that's no different then what you see in many windows shops today where people have a Linux or a terminal to the old mainframe or.... to run a few specialized apps.

How does that contradict what I wrote. Yeah the proprietary code people don't use GPLed code.
The debate on whether to include Python or not keeps going. Do you have a ref for the Python / ABC connection?
The way the GPL has turned out is:
You use a product written by people who didn't foresee what you were going to use it for and they end up integrating changes to benefit someone whose use they didn't foresee. By keeping the code free over the long haul you get fascinating cooperation at the code level.

There is really 2 issues.

2) People stink at imagining large numbers.

might work better.

No it isn't. "This building is on fire and the only exit is jumping out that 4th floor window" is gross disregard.

Drew intended harm that resulted in death.
You don't remember correct. Drew and her daughter got into a fight and stopped being friends. That's all that happened.
She engaged in a criminal conspiracy to harm someone which accidentally resulted in their death. That's manslaughter.
It might be worse than that. Using your example they might have tens of thousands of lines in auto-lisp that are custom. And no one remembers exactly what's in their. Conversion projects are very hard.
