And in India, which this article is about, it was illegal to own gold from 1963 to 1990. There were some exception for jewelry of up to 14 karat.
Even more closer to the topic of the article, since 2016 Indian politicians have been making statements about making it illegal to own too much gold again. At various times, the introduction of upper limits of 250, 500 or 1000g per person were announced.
Apparently, there is a sick girl (Justina Pelletier, J). She got differnet diagnoyses from Tufts University School of Medicine (T), and Boston Children's Hospital (B).
Parents wanted to have her treated according to diagnosis from T, but Massachusetts Department of Children and Families requested removing her from her parents custody and have her treated according to diagnosis from B. The case went to court, first ruling agreed with the request, second ruling a year later didn't. So J got separated from her parentes and trated according to diagnosis from B for a year, then was with her parents again (and, I assume treated according to diagnosis from T).
A lot of people apparently had strong opinions on this matter, including Martin Gottesfeld.
Martin Gottesfeld did a DDOS attack on the website of B during an online donation drive. He was initally prosecuted for it by Carmen Ortiz' office, which also prosecuted Aaron Swartz. Carmen Ortiz stepped down from office in January 2017, the Martin Gottesfeld case will probably go on trial in January 2018.
Some more details, and lots and lots of opinions can be found on the web.
"will depend primarily on the amount of greenhouse gases (especially carbon dioxide) emitted globally."
NOT saying 'by humans'.
True. Large-scale carbon dioxide emissions from any other source would be just as problematic wrt. global warming. However, I'd consider those somewhat unlikely to happen, though not impossible (two obvious possibilities would be alien invaders from outside the solar system setting up carbon-dioxide-emitting facilities, or large scale spontaneous coal seam fires).
Also: it does not say humans emit the greater part of all CO2.
Yes. Some things are omitted, either because they are well known (like humans emitting the greater part of carbon dioxide, or Earth being a planet), or because they are to be implied from context (such as the report referring to Earth, not Mars by "globally"). This has the benefit of a finite report length, which helps with writing and reading.
Apparently, a few years ago, some Linux developer named McHardy started enforcing the GPL in Germany on his own. See e.g. the background article at https://sfconservancy.org/blog...
It looks like he tends to sue GPL-violators for about 2000€ + his costs (attorny fees for trying to settle out of court, costs for reverse engineering):
Example where he successfully sued the Germany subsidy of a Taiwanese hardware manufacturer for a total of about 2900€: LG Frankfurt, 2-6 O 224/06 http://www.jbb.de/fileadmin/do...
However, there was also a case where he demanded and got more: A GPL-violator that he had contacted in 2010, and got to comply with the GPL out of court back then became a repeat offender in 2012. He sued them for for 5000€ + attorny fees of 2000€: LG Hamburg, 308 O 10/13 http://www.damm-it-recht.de/lg...
On the other hand, most Linux developers apparently think that free software developers and organizations tasked with GPL enforcement should not profit from suing GPL violators. The Software Freedom Conservancy is losing money from enforcing the GPL, and asks for donations to be able to continue their work.
