Fun fact: there is also no express patent license in GPLv2. There have been lawsuits on that. I know because I was the lawyer who filed one of them. So...yeah, this problem is not …

Nope. Typography was an excellent vessel for a history lesson here.

Don't forget the typography on the SS's IBM Hollerith punch cards, too. Scroll down, 2nd to last image. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/ibm-and-quot-death-s-cal...

Yes, federal magistrate judges.

The declassified NRO documents are here: http://www.nro.gov/foia/declass/MOL.html

Check out "Asc"'s comment: "There are adblocker-blocker-blockers definition lists... if you can make sense of that. In other words, there are subscriptions (as simple as checking a…

Interesting! Notably, "Percentage of Requests Where Some Data Produced" is all 0%.

Well, everyone would be able to use YC Research's public outputs defensively as prior art.

California trade secrets law has not changed drastically since 2005. If you have actual information to the contrary, by all means, point to it. You're correct that there's more to …

The law of customer lists being trade secrets is literally centuries old. Perhaps you're remembering a recent case about whether LinkedIn contacts could qualify as trade secrets, w…

Downvoting reality.. nice work, HN! Here's how contracts work: A makes an offer to exchange something of value. If B accepts that offer, there's a contract. How's that work for web…
