  • As much as I would like to agree with you, permissive licenses are killing open source software as a whole since corporations absolutely abuse the software, provide very little value back to the code in return, and often DEMAND the authors patch their vulnerabilities.

    Open source props up the world and the least that corporations could do is throw 0.0001% of their revenue their way. But they can’t even be bothered to do that.






  • Create a trust instead.

    Contact an attorney to draft a trust where you all share equity at an amount you all agree to. The terms of the trust should indicate how someone sells their interest and what happens upon default, etc.

    The trust buys the property and owns it. Ownership is managed through the trust.

    The hardest part is qualifying for a loan. You’re essentially operating as a business and most home loans are designed for people and couples.



  • EVEN IF a store was named “use these toys on fake dolls of children” (because this name would likely not even pass local laws but let’s put that aside), the store can sell cookies and take MasterCard.

    I’m going to play devil’s advocate since the OOP is doing a terrible job of arguing their point.

    If my brick and mortar store sold incest books, MasterCard could say, “We don’t like how you sell this one book or category of books.”

    Like…fine. In which case they are being anticompetitive. The books aren’t illegal. Distasteful, perhaps, but you don’t see me complaining to MasterCard for processing bakery transactions, just because I hate gluten.







  • Oddly no but I suspect that it’s either due to them not caring enough for one person doing this or them thinking their T&Cs will prevail in court.

    For me, I don’t see a loss. Either my contract doesn’t hold up, which means that I only lose time and money or it does hold up in which case I lose time and they (and every other company that has clauses where you accept terms by continuing services) loses their contract terms.

    If it ever came to it, I would bet the company would choose to settle rather than risk a president being set.
