Hadn't heard of Source3 before but would they potentially be the first investment Facebook has made in a Youtube-like Content ID program? Given the accusations and complaints of folks who find their YouTube content re-uploaded to FB without permission or compensation, maybe this will be a good thing (if you've more-or-less accepted the status quo of Content ID and its drawbacks).

I fail to see what you're trying to point to here.

Are you saying a company shouldn't be allowed to use open source if they're not "contributing to open source and the internet overall"?

Dear mom: when I grow up, I want to create the world's best content identification and DRM system, and along the way build a platform to manage IP online and establish relationships with brands!

"When I grow up I want to hold an honest job, be an upstanding citizen, earn a strong wage, pay my fair share of taxes, and work on interesting problems, technical or otherwise."

If we can respect lawyers and accountants, surely we can respect people who have worked hard to grasp an economic opportunity, even if we wouldn't in a thousand years worked on the problem they chose.

I'm sorry, what do you mean by this comment? If they use MIT licensed software there's no obligation for them to contribute back anything, not that it's good or bad, but it's the terms of the license.

Also there's no way to know if they have contributed or not, and even if there's no direct contribution (pull reqs) we can't know if they haven't reported bugs or supported employees that wanted to collaborate to the projects on their free time.

It makes complete sense too as FB makes bigger plays at pre/mid-roll ads in videos. Seems like this could be an effort to limit their liability from serving ads on top of work with copyright issues and then profiting from it (or paying out a revshare to the uploader who may not be the rights holder).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I downvoted you because your comment did not contribute to the conversation.

thanks! someone upvoted me because they understood my comment.

No worries; I downvote like once a month or so, so I like to leave a reason.
