> For some reason, the BiiN project was terminated in 1988 and Siemens was not interested any more in it. You mean it was biinned.

Of course. The vigorous policing is decentralized, so you can choose which community standards you would like your interactions to be guided by. There are safe spaces, there are cr…

Precedent doesn't come into it (until it does), it's all about what's in your contract. Work for Red Hat? You own your free software contributions, even those made at work. Work fo…

We didn't have to be first. Other primates might have picked up the rock before we did, but eventually lost the race. Maybe the fire-cooking, rock-throwing domesticating niche is j…

Yeah. The proper analogy is: Somebody doing something they didn't like had a gmail address, and they raided the internal servers of Google's German sales office.

So, don't buy hours or drawings, but do buy pencils, paper, brushes and canvases, and show an interest, but don't say OMG what a gorgeous drawing every single time.

Not against the spirit of GPL or free software at all. Governing the use of language and branding to promote software freedom is core to the movement. The steward of git defining w…
