I'd like to see HN shy away from posting twitter threads as news. There's almost always a hard link to the source material, and twitter threads are filled with emotional, truncated, nuance-lacking, trite clips that more often than not do little to promote healthy discussion of a topic. The goal of quality here really is noble.

If the source is Twitter then I much prefer a link to Twitter.

#67Are they technically obligated to provide the source code online, or could they just say: "Well it's available on request, and no one has done so"? The just mail out a USB stick or DVD to anyone who asks? I believe that's with in the limits of the GPLv2.

#69Earlier quoted context omitted.
OBS is willing to work with TikTok to get them into compliance. That would either mean open-sourcing the software or paying for a license.
Is there a way to buy oneself out of GPL license? I beleive there's not.
