It’s based on BSD like Mach kernel

So I think good luck for foss movement. Hopefully, forking that project won’t be illegal because otherwise foss will die

But where do you have information that it was russian state? There are many state actors capable of doing this. Just saying

Actually I’m interested how it looks legally ( it somebody cares about it at all ). Whether the Russian contributors could ask to revert their changes as they most likely never signed the contract to transfer their code copyrights. For sure it will have a big impact on foss because if you have at least one American and Russian contributors, you may get in the biggest shitshow. Additionally if I was considering now to become a contributors, I’d be wondering if it’s worthy at all to work for free and then to be banned no thanks for whole free work years

Hmm, it’s strange grey area. Sometimes piracy is the only way to make the book not disappear. There are niche, low circulation books and magazines which without piracy would disappear and became almost unavailable.

Sometimes the book is no longer in the print because of many reasons:

1. Author changed her / his mind and no longer wishes to publish it, at least in the original edition / version.
2. Copyrights are being taken over and the final copyright owner ceases to republish it even when paid.
3. Copyrights owner doesn’t know that his the owner of some books and it leads to the legal limbo.
4. Low circulated books & magazines don’t survive until the copyrights expire - owners of the books die and their next heirs believe the books / magazines are just garbage and burn it or throw it away.

Ethics & piracy is pretty strange combination and there is no easy answer for it

Is there an email thread where c and rust Linux kernel devs actually discuss what’s about? Because so far I see some Linux drama and I have no slightest clue what’s about

I think I2P will get a new wave of users willing to pirate stuff

Pretty much like the original reason why napster has been created. It could resume downloads which in the times of early internet explorer wasn’t that guaranteed

Because people cannot block darn windows updates. Its a real malware only allowed by law
