The V2 or later provision allows the person obtaining the license to chose a more restrictive license (no future license can give additional rights).
Why is that a problem?
What?
You're saying "the act of putting files in a shared folder" is not a crime?
But "putting files in a shared folder may be found to be illegal in a court of law?
Are you seriously claiming nothing is illegal until tried?
Maybe, but the level of surveillance has gone up exponentially.
Plus, many people have been abused by the system. This is not just a matter of whether you have done anything wrong or not. It is whether you've done anything that maybe unpopular by a few.
Actually, some algorithms depend on this behavior. For example, the Quantum Factorization algorithm uses this behavior to resolve one of the registers in the calculation, the other register contains only probability waveforms that are consistent with the value read in from the first register.
And SQL procedures can do pretty much anything, including maintaining local parameters, calling external programs, accepting parameters and returning results.
The fact that SQL has set operations like union and intersection is an added benefit, not a downside.
That's not entirly accurate. With stereoscopic vision, you can determine, for example, that those stars are much further away than a little light, nearby. So stereoscopic vision works at those distances, it just doesn't allow you to distinguish the distances of a couple of stars, for example.
Windows is a trademark, and he should have known better than to use a trademark owned by a giant company in the same market.
Windows should not be a legally protected trademark, since it was commonly used at the time they trademarked it. IIRC one company objected to the trademark at the time, and was bought out (settlement style) by MS.
So sure, perhaps he felt that he could use the name, but he should have expected hell in the courts. In the end he decided not to fight, but it does show that money matters. If the company was much smaller, they wouldn't be able to defend the trademark.
I've been recommending Mac to everyone for a while now.
Windows is a PITA. Even if it were true that Viruses, Trojans, Worms and Malware are only successful on Windows due to the saturation, that's still a good reason to go to something else.
I can't wait to go to PS/3 w/Linux. If the price point is good enough I'll be recommending that to everyone.
Many (most?) authors are supporting Google in this.
The resistance comes from the publishers, who either feel that they have to prevent a precedent, or are being pressured by other entites with a vested interest in "protection copyrights".
Once a work is in digital form, it may not only be copied perfectly, but it may also be easily modified. It's easy for us to stand back and say there is vastly more benefit than downside. They won't see our side for a long time

That is too funny to be absent any Karma. Someone mod parent Insightful!
It won't even advance the musical arts, for that matter.
You're mad.
DB2 was the first relational database (although it didn't have a name back then).
It was also the genesis of SQL.
So I fail to see how they can be "to late" in any way shape or form.
The DB2 database has been free (beer) for years for developers only.
This marks a step in that developers are now allowed to redistribute the database.
Do you actually know anything about enterprise scale relational databases, or are you just making this stuff up?

Liar, you just checked "Post Anonymously" prior to submitting the post.
Exactly why did this get moderated Insightful? It's neither true nor on-topic.

Candidate for most answered rhetorical question? Perhaps not.
Was there really a game named BallBlaster???
I agree, plus Windows will never be flexible enough. Never. Ever. Period.

Actually the DMCA circumvision clauses cover other "protection and control" mechanisms, in addition to copyright protection.

You're obviously new here.
