Blender moment

Did Maya do a Unity or it it even still a thing? (Or something else that's also proprietary 🤢)

If one insists on only using open source software then bad changes can be removed by another dev.

If you could have nothing but pure intentions.. that's still a bad way to go about getting users to update. Users choose to not update to avoid getting fucked by Microslop.

We need to be the one in control of our computing for it to be 'our' computer, instead of Microsoft's. That requires being able to change what it does via the source code, and sharing those changes with others. Windows is proprietary, no source code and it's illegal to share it - it can never be 'your' computer like that.

Why did the hotel need over 360 accounts?

One does not "simply" avoid taking a political position - the silence is deafening.

"Are we the baddies?"

Would you want the phone back after it's been in their hands? I wouldn't trust them to leave it alone.

The alternative being.. not paying and still getting it, Nintendo??

Or would you rather no one buy or play games from you? I stopped a long time ago.

This FAQ section affirms you can modify it but cannot call it GPL. Is there a distintion between modifying the GPL and including an extra term?

As I recall you can ignore and remove terms that contradict the freedoms granted by the GPL. We can't infridge trademark but we may be able to redistribute this without including that clause (if it violates the GPL).

Sometimes people say X has bern open sourced but you check the license and it ain't. Here it's "GPLv3-or-later (🤓) + additional clause (🤔)". Section 7 had me worried but at first read it seems like trademarks and logos are included which thry don't want you to use as if you're Bohemia. I guess someone else could fork and remove all that.

Thanks
