Which is why the fine print exists in those other agreements.
Agreed.
But it doesn't exist here beyond the wording of the GPL itself. So asking the creators of the GPL in this instance will get you nowhere because their opinion on the matter lacks any weight, its what the actual wording says which determines what you are beholden to.
So let's agitate for fine print in the GPL to aviod any ambiguity.
...4) What type of integration between proprietary code and GPLv2 licensed code will result in creating a "derivative work" and subject such proprietary code to the terms of the GPLv2?
It upsets me that this question will be answered by those who [probably] know nothing about software and code. Why won't they ask those who created this GPL? Wouldn't they surely know better?
These publishers used the wrong attack angle. They should have negotiated some nominal fee say US$100/yr in return for Google linking to their sites as it saw fit.
Their argument would be that the relationship entranches Google's mindshare among users and furthers its hegemony in search. That can't be bad for Google.
The cost of rooftop solar-powered electricity will be on par with prices for common coal or oil-powered generation in two years, and the technology to produce it will only get cheaper...
...as production continues to be in low cost, high productivity countries like China and India which can export to the US unfettered.
On-the-record interviews with displaced workers are difficult to get. While a restrictive severance package may be one handcuff, some are simply fearful of jeopardizing future job prospects by talking to reporters. Now silenced, displaced IT workers become invisible and easy to ignore.
We aren't like those other countries where citizens are muzzled. Over here, we have the first amendment. Oh wait...Yes, I am referring to the constitution.
A speed of 800Gbps would equate to downloading 33 HD films â" in a single second. Samsung hopes to launch a temporary trial 5G network in time for 2018's Winter Olympic Games
I will be retired at that time, sadly! That means my activities will be of no consequence at all. That's not good. Can't they do it sooner?
In its bankruptcy documents, GT would later accuse Apple of using "bait-and-switch" tactics, and said the terms of the deal were "onerous and massively one-sided." (Emphasis mine...)
And Apple gets blamed for this shortcoming? Why did GT sign on the god damned dotted line?
The company insists that it favors no particular ideology and that its efforts are âoeneutral.â The first part is likely true, but the second is not possible.
That second part may still be possible if our learned friends *cough* lawyers *cough* are involved.
they argue that racial bias, along with lingering impressions of what a 'techie' should look like, loom much larger than any pipeline issue.
Having once taught one of the most difficult to understand topics in mathematics, many of my students, after getting comfortable with me, told me they didn't expect me to be their teacher when they forst saw me. On one occasion, at the beginning of school, a this particular class continued with their business instead of acknowledging my presence at the podium, till I called the class to order.
Where I now work, members of the public will gravitate toward an office assistant to help them solve a problem instead of talking to me directly. This assistant then has to advise them to talk to me if anything is to be solved. I am the chief here.
I have gotten so used to this treatment that it doesn't bother me anymore.
I say that because I was one of those who thought that after about a decade of existence, its usage would be on the wane. I guess I was wrong. They are really trying to remain relevant.
I salute them for that even though in my small world, Facebook is still of no consequence.
"Its a terrible company" City Councilor Gary Rosen said. "In my opinion, they should not be welcome in this city. Comcast is a wolf in wolfs clothing; its that bad."
Can someone convince me that in the absence of a specific invitation by the legitimate Syrian government, which is the case this time, this [US] action cannot be defined as aggression?
Is owning a share of, say, Apple, conceptually the same as owning a share of Alibaba?
How can this be the case? In a few instances: -
If one is looking for return on investment, then it's probably the same.
If on the other hand, one is looking for an avenue to influence company direction, owning shares in Alibaba and startng this effort is almost a guaranteed exercise in frustration, for Alibaba is a company with capitalist "genes" which have a tinge of socialist, heavy-handed characteristics.
"So it's not technically feasible for us to respond to government warrants for the extraction of this data from devices in their possession running iOS 8."
Let Apple relax for it's a matter of time. As any software developer knows, software will [always] have bugs. Apple's software is no different.

the creators will tell you what it was intended to do, the court will tell you what it actually does.
No.
The creators will tell you what it was intended to do and what it actually means within that narrow GPL context.
That is what is important and that's why we have the so called fine print in all agreements I have come across. No?

"Chinese companies are so good at making free but high-quality products," ...
If these companies are so good, where are some of their "high-quality" products?

Funny thing is we would have gladly removed all tv services but they would have charged more for the service going Internet only.
Question: Is this legal/lawful? What chance [of success] do I have can if I filed a law suit against this kind of practise?
...that if we can't ask the Russians how to do these things reliably, "we can at least ask the Indians who went to Mars recently."

Who would have imagined this? In the world's largest free market economy. Oh wait! Is it, really?
I am waiting for Obama to preach to the world about the so called free market. Why not let it in so that the market decides?
Though this move is surely good news to those workers, I hope Google hasn't forgotten its obligation to [its] shareholders.
Can someone please tell me how this move increases shareholder value, which should be Google's top priorities?
Who would want to be bought by Google, only to be "destroyed" like so many promising companies' products have?
I now see that it's [not] always about the money.
...and let the USA know that there's another country that can do technologically advanced stuff at much less cost and fanfare.
To the Indian government though, I suggest the next project be here on planet earth:
That is, to make public toilets as easily available as every other space power.

I should add that this isn't bad at all.
The answer may lie in the fact that the 16GB iPhone is, and has been, by far the best selling model.
Therein lies the answer. It's always about the money. Period.

... if Ford or Toyota had franchised dealerships- they would have to get rid of them first in order to sell direct.
Why then is it that there are no manufacturers who sell directly to customers? Or, put it another way, why do all manufactures have dealerships?
Just wondering...
