PlayStation is pulling "previously purchased" digital movies from users' libraries
Tired of corps stealing your code ?
I created NCRO v1.0 license to let devs show code safely. People can view it locally, but corps are blocked !
Why use it :
* strictly local : no public forks !
* no corps : bans commercial use
* anti-cloud : no api or saas wrapping
* absolute ownership : we own your prs
* absurdity clause : corps must agree to any crazy terms you set !

@veronica I see many of these "sacrifices" as net benefits.
The issues encountered can all be attributed to corporations being assholes as in actively antagonizing consumers!

IMHO: Piracy should be legal everytime one cannot legally obtain a copy of said content via a perpetual, offline-accessible (DRM-free!) one-time-purchase on physical media !

At least some judge came to their senses and ruled that piracy doesn't entitle the IP holders/licensees to damages equal of the full price of the including subscription.
Obviously that doesn't make pirate decryption legal, it merely takes into account that those subscribing to card sharing ain't necessarily able to pay the regular subscription so, the damage claims are on their own made-up bogus if the Pay-TV provider can't evidence them!

@Mara I'd still recommend #OpenDyslexic over #ComicSans solely due to #licensing reasons.
- Another good font designed for legibility is #LEXEND and if want something "Aerospace Grade" consider #B612.
Built the dependency list the lazy way. One install at a time, each one chosen to get the thing running.
Then a patent attorney read it out loud.
GPL v3 has a retaliation clause. Assert a patent against someone using the same covered code, and your own license terminates. Plaintiff one day, infringer the next.
Three sections do this together. I walked them.
