Tell that to the department of defense, who are using Linux on the PS3 to crack codes... they're not too happy that Sony sends back repaired units w/o the "Other OS" option.
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable.
In other words, for scripts, plain ASCII text is "good enough." You CAN edit them, as opposed to a binary blob.
Besides, scripts (whether php, python, javascript, whatever) do NOT link at any point to each other, even if they have an "include" call - they don't actually include the file and create a derived work (rather, the runtime - NOT your code - calls any such routines) - the original code for both is unchanged, both on disk and - just as importantly - in memory.
So you can distribute closed-source modules to work with gplv2 code without problems - no derived work is ever created, and there is no linking. Don't take my word for it - Larry Rosen (the lawyer for the open source initiative) has said the same thing.
In the case of perl, php, and javascript, they ARE getting a non-linked "program" - not a binary (even if it's run through an obfuscator, it's still neither object code suitable for linking, nor a binary). Of course, with some languages (perl...) it's sometimes hard to tell if it's been obfuscated intentionally.
And if you DO run it through a good obfuscator you can reduce the size by up to 80%, so it downloads quicker.
They're charging a $50 distribution fee. To cover the cost of charging a distribution fee... like how the toll booths collect tolls... to pay for the cost of the toll booths.
If you don't like it, then you have several options:
1 Distribute under a different license;
2. Don't distribute at all - run it as SaaS (Software as a Service) off your own server, and optionally charge a fee;
3. Distribute an obfuscated version so that it's almost impossible for them to modify it.
Exercise your perl-fu by writing a script that reads in the source, strips out the comments and white space, replaces every variable name with a 2-letter combo in the range of A0 to ZZ, and every constant or string with a value from _A0 to _ZZ, and every function with a name from AO_ to ZZ_
Maybe it helps to be a bit drunk to hitch a ride on one of those things.
Though given a chance, even if the odds were 5% ending up as an "IN SOVIET RUSSIA, rocket does NOT launch YOU!" joke, there'd be no shortage of volunteers for something like a Mars mission.
How many of us, when we were kids, would have been willing to risk a 50/50 chance for a moon ride?
So, do the same as the fire and police departments - make sure that there are enough people actually being paid to be available when they're needed. Oops - won't happen because IT workers are too stupid to join a union.
1. Buy a cheap throw-away phone, no email, no text. Give them that number instead of the smartphone.
2. The regulators in the US have ruled (it was Optimal Robotics that was bending the rules, not paying for techs who were on call to fix UScans) that if you're "on call", you're "on the clock" and have to get paid for it - even if they don't call you.
3. Tell them your religious beliefs don't let you conduct business outside of business hours unless you're paid for it (you worship at the temple of the almighty buck, same as they do).
No, it proves that you'll resort to anything to avoid admitting that you can't provide a single citation. Absent any sort of proof to your claim that a diet exclusively consisting of rice, milk and canola oil (with an occasional carrot) is a healthy diet, you're STILL a liar.
And your attempts to try to make it about me, instead of about how you have NO proof to your claims, and have continually tried to avoid providing any, kind of proves my point. You're STILL a liar.
Your diet of just "rice, mile, and canola oil" was deficient in vegetables no matter how you slice it. Yor "modified" version, throwing in the occasional carrot, is still deficient.
So stop the lying. Either provide citations (unlike me, you haven't provided a single one), or admit that you have NO proof to offer, and you're just a liar who got caught.
Keep lying... you're the one who failed to provide a SINGLE citation to try to back up your lie when you got called on it. And now, in another part of the discussion, you're trying to move the goalposts rather than admit that you were wrong, and then lied to try to cover it up.
My pride is intact - after all, I'm not the one who foolishly claimed that people only needed to eat rice, milk, and canola oil - no veggies, no meat, nothing else.
Only read up until the first hyphen - now you're "moving the goalposts" - your original claim was that a diet consisting SOLELY of rice, milk, and canola oil was sufficient.
Then you added an occasional carrot when I pointed out it was deficient in vegetables, meat, cereals, and vitamin A.
So, are you going to admit you were wrong, or keep on lying and hand-waving? Until then there's nothing that you can write that is of interest, given the source (you) continues to try to mis-represent the facts.
Grow up - you still don't have the right to harass people by watching their comings and goings. Tehre are several criminal charges that can be laid - harassment, mischief, and stalking.
They continue to flood TV with their message. It makes sense - why waste money advertising on, for example, the net (after all, if you're on the net, you have almost zero attention span for ads even if you don't have them blocked, and you already have a computer, so it's not like they can really control the message in 30 or 60 seconds).
TV is still the best place to advertise something that has to be seen and heard.
The references were entirely relevant - but even if they weren't, you haven't been able to provide a single one to back up your claims, so what's your problem? If you don't like being called out as a stupid lying jerk, then maybe you shouldn't lie so much, silly. Not that anyone cares anyway... except you, of course - your pride is aw gee whiz so wounded that nobody wants to take you at your word when you lie and can't produce a single citation to back it up.
Like the saying goes - don't go away mad - just go away. Or not - I don't care. I'll just throw the truth back in your lying face every once in a while when I need a break.
The only one who is being obsessive is you - by refusing to address even the FIRST problem - your total failure to provide any proof - not a single citation - to your very first claim. And your obsession with trying to build a castle atop it, rather than address the real issue, which is poverty.
Then again, you're unbelievable any way you slice it.
Demanding you either prove it or STFU is not being obsessive. Demanding that you get back on topic and stop lying is not obsessive. Truth hurts, Chuckles.
Nope - no restraining order needed. The act of spying on someone else when they (the person being spyed on) was on private property was sufficient cause. Why don't you put it to the test - go to a local grade school and hang around outside the property during recess and lunch?
there is NO way you are gonna get a clean room facility up to snuff & speed in a matter of days
Of course not. Which is why they've gone from 5 years to 1 or 2. Let someone else take the hit by buying the first few months production - it's going to be like buying a car manufactured on a Monday - way more defects.
Terry Childs agreed to provide the password to the mayor. He could not have done in a secure manner so if it were biometric - and it would have been a single password for EVERYTHING, even his personal stuff, so no court can order it (since it would also allow the search of any personal stuff, etc., forever, so it violates the constitutional requirement that a person be secure from unreasonable searches in their home, their personal papers, and their person - no need for a warrant - ALL their info is now open to anyone, since biometrics is single-sign-on, and single-point-of-failure).
So, how do you propose keeping your personal stuff secure when you have a single biometric password that opens up everything, not just your work stuff.
Only idiots use biometrics, in part because they fail so often. We had one, it could never read my fingerprint from one day to the next, and I'd always have to over-ride it after a half-dozen attempts. Eventually someone punched it out - literally. Me, I was just going to hack into the network connection and bypass it completely to feed the data into the computer, but in the end their solution was simpler, and undoubtedly much more satisfying.
BTW - the FBI has refused FIO requests for all cases where more than one person is matched to a fingerprint - fingerprint data is NOT as unique as you think.
You still haven't shown a single reference to prove it. As they say, [citation needed]. I provided a bunch, you provided... hand-waving. So, you continue to lie. What is it to me? Nothing. Just a way to fill in some time while I wait for my coffee.
I read the first line. The rest of it, you could have written anything you wanted - you've already proven you can't back up anything you write, so what do I care. If I want content-free junk to read, I'll read my spam.
They still have a private life. The other party simply is NOT allowed to snoop, or even to pry by asking the kids invasive questions (doing so is grounds for terminating access).
Okay - try sticking the webcam in someone else's washroom and see how quickly you get arrested. Or a public toilet - I'm sure the judge will accept that "well, judge it *IS* a public toilet, isn't it?":-p
My point is that even on your own property, there are limits to what you can and can't do. You can't spy on other people on your property any more than you could spy on tenants in a building you owned.

If you're not getting paid for it, don't do it - you have only yourself to blame.
Or pull an Apple - leave your phone at a bar ...

Didn't exactly work out well for Terry Childs, did it? When you're the person assigning accounts, and your access is cut off, then NOBODY gets in.
