Second both of those sentiments. Actually, the Gestapo treatment would be a bullet in the head and a dirt nap. Since Wikileaks used a greengrocer's apostrophe in "computer's", I hope they get billed for the bullet. Even Hitler was scrupulous about his grammar.
I'm going by what they did, not their feeble protestations. It's like when you're groping a drunken cheerleader, and she's all like "Oh no, I'm not that sort of girl... ooh, OK then, just don't tell Chad... oh, that's goooood.... AARGH! Wrong hole! WRONG HOLE!"
Yerrrs. You get the part that Google did censor quite happily, up until the point that China pwned them? Funny how they only re-discovered their lofty principles after being publicly assraped.
By the same token, if I pirate a game for personal use, nobody is "profiting" from my violation of the creators' copyright and license.
How you look at it may depend on whether you contribute to open source projects. It's easy to be unconcerned if its someone else who's having their work misappropriated.
Because otherwise, you know, derivative work, and a thousand years bad juju.
Given what they just tried to do, and the casual disregard they had for licensing until they got caught in the act, I'd say the burden of proof lies with the re-implementors.
For those lucky enough not to live in Soviet UKistan, the primary purpose of the UK government is to create taxpayer funded but unaccountable quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations which they then stuff with their idiot cousins, nephews, wives and mistresses.
If UKSA so much as picks a logo and a colour scheme for its web site in its first year of existence, I'll be flabbergasted.
I'm tired of the assumption that your sort keeps making that you can bash America and love it at the same time. How many times do you think America will keep crawling back to you, hoping that you'll change?
Come on, this is the UK we're talking about here. Junior Assistant to the Deputy Permanent Undersecretary for Traffic Cones (North East Region) is about the peak of realistic ambition.
I love how you're agreeing with everything that he says, but in the process making yourself look both wrong, and an utter nob-jockey. Truly, old school online debating, the way Hitler used to do it.
Indeed, what's this "early days" jibba jabba. If you're going to see the ballot screen, you've seen it by now, and chosen the "Just give me the damn Internets!" option. The polls are closed.
Google is behaving far more ethically than the State Department. If they were really Pentagon puppets, they'd be more concerned with trying to add 2% to the value of the Yuan rather than with trivial little things like free speech and political freedom.

Every morning you wake up breathing is an excuse to buy tools.

So, what does the GPL actually say, and how does that effect the issue of creating a derivative work?
They traditionally didn't, but AFAICT there's no prohibition against it. Note that supermarkets now make direct comparisons with each other.

Yes, I'm joking. Maybe.

Now, now. It could easily be both.
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Only if the subject is stationary. In a walkby, you'd get a Doppler effect:
tits tits tits tits tits tits TITS! TITS! ASS! ASS! ass ass ass ass ass ass
Stark vs Bond fistfight? Winner: SHATNER. Always SHATNER.
Yes, briefly.
"Belgium"? I call bullshit on that list.

It's OK, once they get a job in the UK, they won't have to do any more thinking.

Hey, it turns out that there are stupid questions!
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
