People forget that compilers used to be commonly proprietary and commercially licensed. Heck, I'm born on the 90s and knew that π
So so glad free and open source software took over though

And people thought 14 years of copyright was too short... you play capitalist games of granting virtually infinite monopolies (trademarks are incredibly effective at restricting the public domain), as property to sell and trade to the highest bidders, the public domain be damned, and you get capitalist prizes like massive layoffs and unemployment and a deteriorating, corporation-owned culture

They are still updating the 3.x branch
If robots and ai can do it all (big if, but that's what the suits are betting on), then why can't workers just come up with free, libre, and open source hardware plans and software for robots and ai and make socialism a thing?
AGPL? Google has a ban on all AGPL software. Sounds like if you write AGPL software, corporations won't steal it.
Code licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) MUST NOT be used at Google.
The license places restrictions on software used over a network which are extremely difficult for Google to comply with. Using AGPL software requires that anything it links to must also be licensed under the AGPL. Even if you think you arenβt linking to anything important, it still presents a huge risk to Google because of how integrated much of our code is.Β The risks heavily outweigh the benefits.
Any FLOSS license that makes a corporation shit its pants like this is good enough to start from IMO.

If it's only internal then technically the internal users should have access to the source code. Only the people who receive the software get the rights and freedoms of the GPL, no one else.
all D&D movies ever will be bad ig
That won't put butts in seats in theaters to make up for the money being invested. Microsoft wants a new generation of kid money.
People need to wake up to the fact that these movies are ads to sell shit. This is an ad to sell Minecraft to a new generation in of kids. Why in the world do you think they keep rebooting movies that's made for kids like Star Wars and Transformers? Because they sell toys to kids.
So, why Minecraft movie? You admit the stats yourself: they need a new generation of kids to like Minecraft to sell Minecraft branded shit. They don't even have to play the fuckin game as long as they're paying for cheap branded clothing and plastic and skins for kids to show off to their friends what brand represents their personality the best.
People don't understand: we already outlawed "theft" and "stealing"βwe wouldn't need COPYright laws if they prevented theft or stealing π they only prevent copying, aka not theft or stealing.
But people keep strawmanning "stealing is bad mmkay???"
Look at gleam and elixir. Both are functional. Both use exceptions, but both also use error values as well. There is no reason why we can't have both. These are incredibly fault tolerant systems.
