The biggest thing you pay for in the Bloomberg Terminal is the chat function, which lets you talk to other people who also have $25,000 a year to spend on a Bloomberg Terminal. But this is still pretty cool :)

Just go to 4chan /biz/ for crypto or reddit's wsb for stocks. The idea that you still need to pay 25k$ for a communication software in 2021 is absurd. Check my comment history, bought lots of link in 2017 because everyone was buying it on /biz/, posted about it once here and got criticized for it by someone because it's 4chan etc... and people will only listen to you if you have an expensive suite and watch on, even…

Without level 2 data trading is just trying your luck on a random number generator.

Coding against a library is usually understood to result in creating something that's a derivative work of that library.

The act of linking against a library produces a derivative work of that library. But since APIs are not copyrightable (in europe, at least), the act of using an API does not produce a derivative work, and thus code which uses an API is not bound to any particular license wrt it.
