@niqdanger seriously, unless they have #ESM on it I'd be in the office with the CLO & CISO asking them to consider sueing them for #GrossNeglect…

#NotLegalAdvice OFC...

@empathicqubit @threetails yeah, tho granted you'd only run into risk at publication, not photography and obviously people being in the background of shots, espechally not as main component of the photo are also covered.

#NotLegalAdvice, but that's basically how things roll and worst-case there's @wbs_legal to consult.

@burak either this is some quackery for some deranged folks that refuse to #TouchGrass in order to "get grounded" or an overpriced, non-compliant (Yellow is the mandatory ESD warning colour in the EU!) ESD mat advertised to said folks.

• Cuz a friggin' grounding mat doesn't do diddly piss for these symptoms and advertising it for that isn't legal either!

If I seriously had that problem, I'd consider calling the Fire Inspector, cuz then there's a gross violation of electrical and/or fire code to be expected and thus the building needs to be condemned and vacated for safety reasons alone!

#NotLegalAdvice

@stage7 personally I do wish for #FLOSS to have more teeth…

• I mean, #GPLv2 got confirmed as valid in Germany and the #license terms successfully enforced.

The only restrictions I'm aware of are "[legal and/or business] deals that have unexpectably bad terms and conditions" (aimed at exploiting "someones lack of expefience, ability to make informed decisions or socioeconomic situation [of distress]") which mostly aims at criminalizing #PaydayLoans at extortive APRs, rentseeking, discrimination and other tactics preying on #consumers.

• It's more of a #ConsumerProtection thing and almost certainly doesn't apply to #Businesses which are exempt from consumer protection (cuz #B2B aind #B2C!)

Plus #FLOSS licenses ain't the norm (and I'm pretty shure that we rather see #CCSS banned than #AntifascistLicense|s being struck down!)…

• OFC this is #NotLegalAdvice and #speculation, tho OFC one has the freedom to decline business based off objective and/or terms/justifications, like throwing a Neonazi out of a bar.

#AntifascistLicenses #Antifascism #Licensing #FOSS #OpenSource

@stage7 in theory people could take something like #0BSD and add a #antifascist clause of 161 words to it, creating i.e. "#161BSD"…

• Generally one could freely choose a #license pending it's not in conflict with any #upstream / #dependencies if applicable…

#NotLegalAdvice OFC, but unless your license has a #Copyleft clause re: it's #antifascist terms it's more of a symbolic gesture trivially undone by constantly #forking it!

@SheHacksPurple you do realize that this may violate #BDSG as 'unnecessary data collection'?

• #NotLegalAdvice but there's a reason one shouldn't collect #PII like #eMails without 'technical necessity'…

@badrihippo @ferret OFC.

Bonus points if you never have been even near the premises, so noone will ever file a search warrant…

So what you're saying is it is cheaper to account for getting sued for IP infringements and having to pay than to pay for it beforehand then?
