singpolyma commented on Ironic for an open source project: Its free! But... This content is locked until you like or share us. at Reddit, saying
Open source does not mean they can't ask you to pay for it. In this case, the payment is in terms of marketing.

For the purposes of an infringement suit you would have to prove you have code that forms part of their distribution. The more you have, the easier it is.

singpolyma commented on I have a question regarding GPL licensing. at Reddit, saying
Easiest way: ask the copyright holder. Often I ask (by email) such authors and they say "that sounds fine to me", which give you written evidence if they decide to change their mind later.

singpolyma commented on Is a program legally opensource if its original source is modified to be very tangled and confusing but still valid code in the language? at Reddit, saying

What if I quote the bytes of the executable as a hex string, in the code, and run binary eval on it?

What if you do? That is obviously not the preferred form for modification and does not fill the source requirement of the GPL.

Not even a day yet, they don't really take power under November 🙂 Doesn't change the need to hold accountable as things progress.

What indication do you have that they aren't planning on being accountable to literally one of the tentpoles of their entire platform?

None. Except that I know politicians give priority to what they hear about. And they're going to be hearing about at lot. We need to make sure they don't stop hearing about this.

Well, I mean, STV is still a system for voting for local representatives (no parties involved).
