That misses the point, imo. Much of Hashi's ecosystem was created by people who contributed to the product believing it was community owned, as that's what the license said.

Oracle tried to do similar when they closed the source for Hudson. Hudson was forked, creating Jenkins, and I would be surprised if folks even remember Hudson today.

Oxide Computing gets into the details on their podcast: https://youtu.be/QaU94LY891M

 

HashiCorp recently changed Terraform from an open source model to something that requires licensing, so folks got together, forked the code, and created OpenTF.

It isnt a theory. Steve Calabresi, one of the founders of the Federalist Society, whom we'd think should be against this interpretation, wrote an article for Reason in support of the original paper.

The core of the argument is that current context is an extremely good match for the context that created the law in the first place. They seem to believe it enough to think it should be regarded as true. For some reason...

So let's consider incentives. Why would they want to avoid a court case? Is it possible they'd lose and somehow make a radical event take place in US law?

Maybe they believe it is self-preservation in some way, to avoid a historically significant court decision going against them. Or another way, maybe theyre low key trying to somehow move on.

This may be the closest thing the Republican Party ever does to waving the white flag. They never admit defeat.

The presence of some intelligence is not sufficiently persuasive for changing terminology when the point is to insult them. Duhhhh.

Can we stop saying think tank, as though these dummies actually think..?

Meh. Still nothing next to what CCP does in China.

Adtech spies on you with it. The gov piggybacks on adtech.

They had issues, but theyve been shipping phones this year and they run Linux.

We dont have to just use ios or android, and I think that's a great thing!
