So now we only have freedom of speech regarding things that are true? So, for example, I am not alowed to say that I have a purple horn growing out of my head?
PS: I know that the constitution restircts congress from making laws against freedom of speech, and reserves that right to the people which you might be one of. That isn't the point though.
The post you are responding to did not say one could not profit from GPL code. Nor did it say that you can not charge for distributing it.
The fact is you cannot distribute GPL code any way you want (unless you are the copyright holder and distribute it under non GPL terms as well, of course).
To amend what you are repeating BSD is about freedom of the distributor; GPL is about freedom of the code.
But it is legal, as far as I can tell, to require all disputes to be handled by arbitration. This is subtlety different. In theory it also appoints a neutral arbiter to decide the merits of each side of a dispute, most provide some process of selection said arbitrator (usually a mediation company/service if I am not mistaken). While this may favor one side, it could be protective for both sides and something both sides wish to agree to in case of any dispute.
But you would have to admit, I think, that this severance clause would be part of the contract. If the whole contract is deemed unconscionable or invalid this section also would be invalid and unenforceable.
Yes. But you imply that some form of contract would indemnify the city from someone using the wifi; why not from someone selling drugs using the roads? Either drug selling is different from illegal use of wifi, requiring different indemnifications; or mere contracts cannot indemnify someone from assisting a criminal act.
There are at least 2 reasons why this might be an option:
It almost goes without saying on this site, but one could install a free operating system.
One could be replacing a laptop that had a OS bought separately. As long as the former laptop is unusable or wiped it is perfectly legal to transfer the OS to the new laptop. This could be done for several laptops, especially if one is not interested in upgrading to the latest and greatest version of a payed for OS.
As a legally questionable bonus: If your laptop came with a license key for Windows 7, you could download an ISO here: (NB: the amazon links seem to be dead, but the DR links seem to work) http://goo.gl/EmxXQ
when I was young, I had no understanding of 'local issues' and thought that buying global products would not matter.
then, I see the middle class disappear and we can't afford to buy the things we *design*, let alone build.
this matters. its news for nerds and it IS stuff that matters. outsourcing will but us in the ass and had already lowered quality of products and services worldwide.
You have not explained why it is unethical. The post you replied to asked for clarification as to why the parent thought it was unethical to help set up a call center in another country.
You assert that "outsourcing will but[sic] us in the ass and had already lowered quality of products and services worldwide." Can you offer some support for this premise? In a related note you seem to blame outsourcing or globalization for the "disappearing of the middle class", again I am disinclined to accept this premise without support.
Your discussion of price, dollar, and the thought patterns of "business people" is a complete non sequitur, as is your opening statements relative to assumptions about the parent posters age.
I believe you may have point for discusion, but as it stands it is poorly articulated and not well supported by anything other than your assertions.
Sure, I have some troll biscuits in my pocket that I'd like to get rid of.
What is 1/3 as a decimal?
If it has a decimal representation at all, then it is.333...
That is to say that it is a decimal point followed by an infinite number of 3s.
So what is.333... * 3?
Of course it's.999... which implies.999 followed by an infinite number of 9s. As you say:
No matter how far back you get, there's a 9 at the end.
But.333... is equal to 1/3.
1/3 * 3 = 1
Thus,.333... * 3 =.999... = 1
QED
I find the notion of repeating decimals kind of silly, and would just prefer to say that 1/3 has no exact representation. As far as I can tell from calculus class this doesn't change anything.
My question to you is how are you able to possess code subject to the GPL yet deny your employees access to the source code?
This is just a thought, and IANAL so I could be completely wrong here.
What if the organization, eg CorpInc, took software released under the GPL and made modifications to it. Then they installed the modified versions to their own computers. The modified version is clearly under the GPL, because it is a derivative work. However is CorpInc required to give it's employees that use those computers the source to the modified version? If they are, then by the terms of the GPL the employees can give the source, and binaries, to others.
While it may not matter where the doctor is physically located, I am sure it matters where the doctor is licensed. I doubt the Texas Board of Medicine, or any other state board, will license many doctors in a 'doctor center' in India.

Maybe.

Of course not! 19998 could be prime and that would be enough.

But people do "give a crap about" their money. To imply that parting fools from their money necessitates computers is disingenuous.
That is an interesting conclusion. How did you arrive at it?
IANAL (as will become obvious)

But he could have changed the analogy to blame the public and it would not have lost much.
So why can't they have a similar page of legalese when you get a drivers license? Or buy a car? Then they could cut down on their police force!

How are you to prove to your employer/big brother that you don't have one?
ToasterMonkey Questioned?
Of course it's not "ethical",
Excuse me, why?

Indeed. I meant to say
"1/3 has no exact decimal representation."
Of course meaning no exact representation as a decimal fraction
Clearly 1/3 itself is, also, an exact representation.
Sure, I have some troll biscuits in my pocket that I'd like to get rid of.

Why should our government even have ethics documents that are confidential?
That information is contained in confidential ethics documents.
Could you suggest one or two then?
