Neo4j provided database software under the AGPLv3, then tweaked the license, leading to legal battles over forks of the software. The AGPLv3 includes language that says any added restrictions or requirements are removable, meaning someone could just file off Neo4j’s changes to the usage and distribution license, reverting it back to the standard AGPLv3, which the biz has argued and successfully fought against in that California district court.

The issue before the appeals court boils down to the right to remove contractual restrictions added to the terms of the APGL. This right is spelled out in AGPLv3, section 7, paragraph 4: “If the program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this license along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term.” Other GPLs contain similar terms.

“Licensed under AGPL but not AGPL”? It’s a named license that people have expectations on. I assume if they had said “licensed under aa modified AGPL license” it would have been fine? Seems reasonable/makes sense.

How does that become “may kill a GPL license”? Key word “a”? (When it’s not one.)

the docs are under documentation, not on the homepage tho

I always pronounced it engine-x (fluent as one word) but never thought of it meaning engine lol

n gin x -> en gin ex -> “enginex” spoken, nginx thought

These scrollbars with issue indicators are becoming more and more fancy

According to an email LinkedIn sent to its users last year, it has not enabled user data sharing for AI purposes in the UK, the European Economic Area and Switzerland.

Setting the “opt-in” without consent would certainly be illegal in the EU.

Where is he getting these stats from?

What do you mean? He’s the room owner. He can see the member count, and the activity.

Case insensitive handling protects end-users from doing “bad” things and confusion.

Really cool

I see; it’s not button keys, but axis inputs

/edit: Apparently not just axis, but “3D” / free joypad/stick

The page starting with a popover donation call doesn’t help either…

each function has its own independent metal toggle switch

one steering wheel to steer left, and one to steer to the right

they want to push a lot of buttons on those controls

LOL

Even with a lot of buttons available, good videogame controls are simple and narrow. Natural combinations add depth without overcomplicating things.
