they were already maintaining a fork of Mono for quite some time. This seems to me like a ceremonial torch passing to make them the ‘official’ owner of the project.

while you might be right some things are more important. why is your comment not directed to people actively blocking these changes? why not just agree to them and move on with these “more important things”. the PR was submitted. the effort had been done already. blocking it is an statement on its own.
Is the abstract concept of “competition” more important than weaning out of fossil fuels in order to keep Earth habitable for humans?
You need to understand, this is written by economists, the people who make a living by justifying human suffering.
Even if it’s a nice solution the licensing issue, they are still deceiving their users. I don’t think I have seen anything like them but they should be clear that they are bluetooth.
Curious. I always imagined it was a reference to the folklore create ‘Imp’.
some contributor agreement does force people to surrender their copyright. MongoDB is probably the most infamous example.
I had the same though. No way they would choose that wording otherwise. they will probably just make it available, also make people who contribute sign their copyright away.
Same goes for words in foreign languages. it just causes confusion. I like how eclipse went for “temurin” (anagram for runtime) for their OpenJDK distribution. no way to cause confusion.
this guy is 100% committed to give nazis a platform, right?
I enjoyed reading this a lot. thanks for sharing
Jason Snell made a good overview of what the suit focuses on. I think it makes the case easier to understand https://sixcolors.com/post/2024/03/u-s-versus-apple-a-first-reaction/
they were just fined with 1.8B because of their anti steering practices. so clearly they don’t always comply
actually, it doesn’t. It is now just “HP inc.” Sole years ago they split the company into HP inc and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. HP kept the PC and printing business and Hewlett Packard kept the enterprise business.
(but I get you. I just wanted to share that detail )
this is incredible common. in software offerings, an enterprise account per user can be twice or more the price of an “individual one”. eg. an individual intelliJ license is 200€ for the first year and 600€ for the enterprise one
Im not sure you understands how this work. but anyway… they can do whatever with their service. I (or any person I know) dont plan to use it 🤷
Imagine if 99% of text messages sent were via iMessage, and the EU kept the same ruling.
If 99% of messages were sent via iMessage the ruling would have been different. if it ever fulfils the criteria needed to be considered gatekeepers, then they will be designed as such.
they wanted to be irrelevant in the European market for chat applications?
iMessages is like a footnote here. I was surprised it was even considered.
Because Wine often needs to run .Net applications and Mono is the easiest way for them to do that.
