Fair point indeed. So shall we file it under "rules are written in blood" and proceed to see the law adapting to this new world using those precedents?
In the 2000s the world needed to adapt to the reality of all that FOSS stuff being actually enforceable law and all and Linksys and AVM were the qualified and friendly precedents to advance the law back then.
Last time evolution to proper, sort-of stable and useful FOSS legislation took about 10 years.
I wonder what the equivalent of OpenWRT will be this time. At least that one's pretty useful, rite?

The right to a fair trial requires juries to have the legal right to acquit defended on there conscious. Otherwise state collusion and pressure leads to oppression.

I wrote somewhere once that the third-rate mind was only happy when it was thinking with the majority, the second-rate mind was only happy when it was thinking with the minority, and the first-rate mind was only happy when it was thinking. With equal truth it may be said that a first-rate mind is not one which does not remember the past, nor is it one which cannot forget the past; it is a mind which will use the past but not be ordered by it. It is a mind independent of everybody and everything but the facts in front of it. It is as little perturbed to find itself sharing a thought with the simple as it is elated to find itself sharing a thought with the subtle.
A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]

The court’s ruling sets a disturbing #precedent for #VotingRights in several ways. Federal courts are supposed to defer to #state courts on matters of state #law. And #SCOTUS has repeatedly ruled that courts should not change election laws in the middle of an #election season, & in this instance the filing deadline for candidates in #NewYork has already passed.

At least let no one argue that, because an abuse cannot be suppressed without injuring those who profit from it, the fact that it has existed for a time gives it the right to last forever.
[À moins qu’on ne prétende que, parce qu’un abus ne peut être détruit sans froisser ceux qui en profitent, il suffit qu’il existe un moment pour qu’il doive durer toujours.]Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850) French philosopher, economist, politician

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
Nothing is so contagious as an example, and our every really good or bad action inspires a similar one.
[Rien n’est si contagieux que l’exemple, et nous ne faisons jamais de grands biens ni de grands maux qui n’en produisent de semblables.]François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
No punishment has ever possessed enough power of deterrence to prevent the commission of crimes. On the contrary, whatever the punishment, once a specific crime has appeared for the first time, its reappearance is more likely than its initial emergence could ever have been.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, Epilogue (1963)More about this quote: wist.info/arendt-hannah/42717/

Sorry, have to laugh right now as #AmyConeyBarrett says to Mooppan than it is a “big ask” to reconfigure #Gingles because its a 40 year old #precedent.
Is she serious?
