I'd rather want a #honest #MSRP than a effectivley unavailable one.

  • OFC I don't expect a board partner to accept a margin of just $4, but it would be easier to accept a 5% higher MSRP than having no stock at MSRP.

And yes, I blame #AMD, #nvidia and #intel doing #Greedflation against #consumers because I'm very certain they don't sell #silicon at cost for a fixed price per unit depending on the order size, but rather charge a cut of the sold model (similar to #ARM does nowadays for their #licensing)...

The firings at one of the most important US #space #licensing agencies hit at a dire time for a booming US space industry that has long pushed for more nimble & simplified #satellite #regulatory processes…

But sources & individuals across the space industry & US govt…said these #layoffs are likely to trigger major delays in getting #spacecraft approved for #launch.
The #FAA, which signs off on rocket payloads, cannot approve a satellite launch requiring a #NOAA license if it hasn’t obtained it.

The layoffs also upend the agency's core function of #licensing commercial imagery #satellites. By Friday, companies seeking licenses or asking #regulatory questions by email were met with a response stating all those communications will be handled by #NOAA lawyers….

"This is a temporary arrangement to address continuity of operations as no senior personnel remain in the office due to ongoing reductions in force," the email read.

Well, this is worrying.

“If the appellate court upholds that decision, which endorsed database maker Neo4j's right to amend the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3, governing the use of its software with new binding terms, current assumptions about the enforceability of copyleft licenses will no longer apply.”

Many projects mix code and non-code content. Some of them use a single license to cover them all, some decide to apply different licenses to different type of content.

I wonder, how commonly projects use different licenses for their code and non-code content?

Came across this questionable legal workaround in a (GPL + Commercial licensed) project today:

>> All contributions to this repository are made under the MIT License

>> If you make a PR, the PR code is licensed as MIT. As soon as I copy (merge) the code into this repository it is then made available under the GPLv3 as part of <project>

Anyone seen something like this before? Seems sketchy and less honest than a required CLA. Just wondering if it's done elsewhere...
