It's nice out today and doesn't look like rain. You can take off the tin-foil hat.
99.5% of their customers use Windows. I'm hoping they release an Optimus driver, but from a business (all about the money) perspective, I can see why it's not at all a priority for them. The've got no need to support 'the cause' thet Linus wants them to, and making that 0.5% of users happy vs the work involved in making the driver probably isn't a huge motivator.
And no, I don't expect them to release the specs. They don't want to give AMD any help in fuguring out what they are doing, and they don't want to let others know if they are breaking someone elses patents. Doing either of those to make 0.5% of your users happy would be a kind of stupid business decision.
Giving out the data will be of limited value. It's more a matter of luck of the draw if anyone else comes out with a vaccine sooner than the labs in the loop, if anyone comes out with a working one at all.
However, by giving out the instructions on how to build the virus, it is a CERTAINTY that a malicious group with routine laboratory skills could build the virus.
Providing the enemy with diagrams to build a main battle tank out of readily available parts from a scrapyard, in order to hope that you can speed up your allies ability to devise a new anti-tank weapon to counter the tank is... stupid.
And if that becomes a problem for the companies, they will just have shell companies own the front line equipment and hire the front line employees. If they get sued, they just sink the shell and start up another one and are back to the usual practice the next day.
That's what they're doing in the fracking industry right now.
So have the 60,000 build new bridges to replace the aging infrastructure of the country rather than slow down everyone else with rediculous and useless theatrics.
So get a prepaid cell phone plan and use free wifi for the data.
Some of us have jobs and can't hang out at McDonald's all day. Some of us live and/or work in rural areas and don't have any McDonald's or other free wifi close by.
Please stop giving out ProTips. You kinda suck at it.
Do you know how many years that MySQL accepted February 31st as a valid date? Come on, they aren't going to spend time doing pen testing when they have known hard bugs like that to spend years fixing!
"The specific benefit to the community is not the one we want, maybe."
We want? Who is we? The original poster endorsed the BSD license, and you said it had not benifit to the community. It certainly does have a benifit the BSD BSD community wants. If someone is wants to use BSD code, and the BSD developers/users are happy with the benifit, who gives a crap what GPL users think they are getting out of the deal?
As for how many companies comply with 'all 3 clauses', it would probably depend if the software was licensed under the 4 clause, 3 clause, or 2 clause license. As far as stats, I don't have any. Do you? The threshold of meeting the BSD licensing requirements is low enough, most companies just seem to do it with no real issue.
You are ignoring the fact that the community did benifit. Which you previously said did not. And MS got to get the stack out without worrying about lawyers hassling them about the license, which was a benifit to them.
You are quite free to license your own software under as restrictive a license as you want, no one said otherwise. Just don't spout off that the BSD license doesn't benifit the community.
Certainly there are benifits to the community. Microsoft used the BSD TCP/IP stack when they first released Windows NT. BSD users were very happy for that. It ment that the large number of new machines coming online with a new MS OS would be using a tried and tested TCP/IP stack that played well with others on the net.
I'm on board with the one that checks for current insurance. Install that fucker on every cop car.
why? it doesn't increase safety. If you want to protect yourself from litigiousness, do your part to minimize liability for traffic accidents. It's bad enough that insurance is marketed nowadays like it actually makes you safer on the road. it doesn't. it just makes insurance companies rich.
Because the next time some moron hits me because they are too entrhalled in the cell phone conversation they are having, or texting, there will be a better chance that at least their insurance company will pay for my repairs, rather than it coming out of my or my insurance company's pocket, which has happened before.
"The BTEX compounds â" benzene, toluene, xylene, and ethylbenzene â" appeared in 60 of the hydraulic fracturing products used between 2005 and 2009. Each BTEX compound is a regulated contaminant under the Safe Drinking Water Act and a hazardous air pollutant under the Clean Air Act. Benzene also is a known human carcinogen. The hydraulic fracturing companies injected 11.4 million gallons of products containing at least one BTEX chemical over the five year period. "
Those are just some of the ones we KNOW are there. There are many others we don't know about.
"In many instances, the oil and gas service companies were unable to provide the Committee with a complete chemical makeup of the hydraulic fracturing fluids they used. Between 2005 and 2009, the companies used 94 million gallons of 279 products that contained at least one chemical or component that the manufacturers deemed proprietary or a trade secret. Committee staff requested that these companies disclose this proprietary information. Although some companies did provide information about these proprietary fluids, in most cases the companies stated that they did not have access to proprietary information about products they purchased âoeoff the shelfâ from chemical suppliers. In these cases, the companies are injecting fluids containing chemicals that they themselves cannot identify. "
Pumping chemicals with carcinogins and neurotoxins and god knows what else through a leaking casing IS a problem. You don't do that unless you are fracking.
I call Bullshit on your Bullshit. Many folks have sued for the information and not been able to obtain it. Not something the companies would deny providing if it were publically available.

Many is not all. I'm sure the most hazardous ones somehow just don't quite make it on the list. All just a random happenstance, yeah, that's the ticket.
Casings crack and leak ALL THE FREAKING TIME. If you think they are some magical seal that always works you are ignoring the reality in the field. Oil/gase companies experiment with new casing techniques all the time because cracking/leaking happens a lot, and they are still looking for solutions to the problem. Claming casings seal off the hole is grand ignorance of reality.

But with MySQL you can get a wrong answer REAL FAST!!!

It looks just like a mobile home minus the wheels. You can buy one with applienaces and furniture easily for under 86k.

Ohhh, gotcha. I didn' t think that would be an issue. Most folks that care about their data don't keep it MySQL.
Do you know how many years that MySQL accepted February 31st as a valid date? Come on, they aren't going to spend time doing pen testing when they have known hard bugs like that to spend years fixing!
Yes, but only if they contributed back any ad-lib comments they made.

Please point out the many instances of this that show that it is an issue.
Hint: it's not.
BSD is an easier solution.
Yeah, it'll have a unique ID tag. Just like the SIM card in a phone. And we know those can never be cloned. Oh wait...
I was hit from behind while stopped at a light you moron.

Perhaps because no one from Russia or China is sending him leaked documents?
Sorry, no, it's not wild speculation. It's fact.
