I knew the AGPL as a license that prohibits "storming off and making it a commercial offering".
The license that Redis and Elasticsearch should have used instead of fucking around with custom licenses when Amazon took their stuff, made paid offerings out of it and gave nothing back to them.
OnlyOffice's AGPL is limited by a phrase saying:
- You have to use the OnlyOffice logo if you fork it
...and another phrase that says
- You have no rights to use the OnlyOffice logo.
Apparently the AGPL inventor and the FSF side with Nextcloud on this.
OnlyOffice's AGPL isn't really opensource if it enforces crap like that.

@newstik yes that also works. The point is to give people at least one item to bid on where they get an excuse to use the money they had mentally been prepared to use- without everyone having to get something for it.
(Draws can run into local rules about games of chance - usually there is an exception for charities but especially if the auction is for a cause not an official charity you have to be careful about not essentially running a lottery or gambling game even accidentally #notalawyer)

https://ij.org/press-release/public-interest-law-firm-to-launch-lawsuit-against-california-state-bar-after-they-threaten-yimby-advocacy-groups-first-amendment-rights-to-petition-the-government/ I have been saying and writing “I’m not a lawyer” a lot recently, thinking about this lawsuit. Glad Sonja can get back to public service #YIMBY #YIMBYLaw #NotALawyer

Maybe someone can explain this to me. Aren’t policies about who’s civil service set by congress, not the president? #notalawyer

More news on the “how unconstitutional do you want” front.

In case you were wondering how constitutional things could get…
you ain't seen nothin' yet.

When's someone gonna tell him that he just doesn't get to do stuff like this?

That the claims were publicly and intentionally spread without evidence about a private citizen further increases that potential. Archived version: https://archive.md/S12wO
I'm curious if any attorneys agree. #NotALawyer

@PypeBros Yeah, HackerNews is like that.
"When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox."
That doesn't sound like typing into the browser's address bar, but into text fields (and file upload)

"Records system not subject to LOIA” sounds like clear violation of Federal law to me…"
#notalawyer, but hopefully some are going after this.

all I'm saying is that if you approach your job as if you're doing undetectable corporate espionage instead of whatever hum-drum thing you are now, you'll actually take notes on what you're doing as you're going about your project and your coworkers will be amazed at your level of responsibility

@adlerweb
Also hier (Niedersachsen) lief das wie folgt:
Wenn jemand mit _verschlossenen_ Briefwahlunterlagen bis 14 Uhr angekommen ist, konnten wir die annehmen, da die km 2 vom Betriebshof eingesammelt wurden. Danach musste man zur Region Hannover, die sind für die Briefwahl zuständig, oder (auch wenn das im Regelfall nicht passieren sollte) eben den Wahlschein aus dem Wahlbrief entnehmen und mit Wahlschein wählen.
Imo ist das durchaus berechtigt die Annahme zu verweigern, da der URNENwahlvorstand für den WahlBRIEF gar nicht zuständig sein _kann_. Aber #notalawyer, nur meine Einschätzung als Wahlhelfer. -
@amszmidt @ridigilis exactly. Being the copyright holder to the code, you can dual license it. You release the binary to the Apple Store with a commercial license, but the CODE in GitHub is GPLed so nobody else can use it to create and release a derivative work. As long as you’re the only developer on the project (no GPL-licensed pull requests from other devs), you’re the copyright holder and you can do what you want. #notALawyer https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/331846/dual-license-with-gpl-and-a-closed-source-license

#Notalawyer, but it seems like evidence in previous cases would now be admissable in the Fla boxes case.
Is this true?
Also, "Judge Cannon may have been trying to help Donald Trump out a little bit, [but] she may have put him right in the soup," Kirschner said during an episode of Cohen's podcast.

They better hope their probable cause holds up in court, because the very statute they reference https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/2000aa seems pretty clear that you better be all but certain you've got the goods - otherwise materials should just be subpoenaed.

Actual quote from Justice Alito: “No provision in the Constitution gives them the authority to regulate the Supreme Court—period.”
Other things not in the Constitution:
-judicial review
-the federal court system
-the number of justices on SCOTUS
Given the attack on the judiciary by the legislature in Israel, I certainly wouldn’t want Congress to have too much power over SCOTUS. But it’s hard to argue that applying a code of ethics, which all other federal judges already have, is an unconstitutional overreach.The key thing Hamilton was concerned about (in Federalist No. 78) with legislative overreach into the Court was maintaining the independence of judges. That’s part of why they have lifetime tenure.
Thus if the justices are compromising their own independence, as they clearly have in accepting financial gifts from people with business before the Court, it seems like it’s Congress’s duty to act.

I just can’t see why it isn’t appropriate to establish a person’s parentage where that person is no longer a child and where there is a clear public interest. If there were a super injunction in place dating to that person’s childhood, while that might have been understandable, shouldn’t that lapse upon their turning 18 if there’s a public interest? #notalawyer

This schmuck isn't a #lawyer, but he plays one on TV. And that's good enough for #Trump! Rather than listen to #advice from actual lawyers, he took this clown's advice, and now he's facing more than 30 #felony charges. Talk about a self-inflicted wound! Derp!

@mariyadelano
Even with the best brains to help, that is gibberish to me.

@flexghost. Do you know why the Notice of Permanent Appearance includes language about fee disputes not being a basis for withdrawal from representation? #NotALawyer Thanks!
