That doesn’t really have the same rigidity. There would be no guarantee for others that it would remain available to them as long as they adhere to those principles.

Said another way, a bad faith actor could create a patent and make it available to FOS developers, but then turn around and sell that patent to someone who will charge those same developers.

I suppose you could have a third legally binding document that stipulates the terms of use, but kinda wish it was just handled under the patent.

Might be a stupid question, but I’d there a GNU license equivalent to patents? Could you patent something that could be used for free, but not used by a company in a for-profit matter?

I love how he’s the only one not called Dr. On this chart.

I think both of those have rigid scientific definitions.

TIL that trees are the same as vegetables and weeds, arbitrary cultural groupings. We should make an arbitrary cultural group name for arbitrary cultural grouped things!

So far the group is: -Trees -Vegetables -Weeds -Pets -Continents -The culinary use of fruit

Is this the same Bob Ballard that found the Titanic and the Bismark?

I agree, we all have search engines and if someone doesn’t understand a word or phrase they can learn it on their own. Brilliant write up!

Was this the root cause??? Hahahaha

Wheat, rice, barley, rye, corn, millet… Even bamboo is grass!

Well done grass. You really won this round.

Totally agree. The general concept of calculus is pretty straightforward. The implementation of calculus is an exercise of algebra.

Love your optimism

Hey, thanks for your concern. I’m asking tons of questions, don’t worry. Unfortunately the last 3 keepers of this code are no longer around to ask, thus the staring at code.

I honestly needed to hear this today, so thank you. I’m at work trying to work out someone else’s uncommented code and have just been staring at it mumbling to myself. I’m new to the position so I’m anxious my new coworkers will think I’m just dicking around… This is the validation I needed. Thanks everyone!
