  • It’s source available, not open source.

    It severely limits what can legally be done by restricting modifications and prohibiting “commercial” distribution:

    You may not remove or obscure any functionality in the software related to payment to the Licensor in any copy you distribute to others.

    You may distribute the software or provide it to others only if you do so free of charge for non-commercial purposes.

    Non-commercial purposes is extremely vague by the way. Depending on the country - or even the court in a country - nearly everything distributed on the internet is for commercial purposes.

    For example, in Germany, only commercial websites have to put up a legal disclosure consisting of address, full name, phone number and email. Yet courts have ruled that every single website that is available to the public is “commercial” - only private webpages available to a handful of people are non-commercial. If anyone redistributed the software in Germany this license would be grounds for a successful lawsuit.

    I don’t even know what basil is because I could not care less about learning English spice names nor do I care enough to look it up. I’m guessing it’s those eatable leaves though because those are called Basilikum in German. The name also allows English basil “enjoyers” to make a pun and we all know this is a sign of a correct translation.

    I was thinking the drones would use Bluetooth to send the modified json to each other which negates the need for a NAS.

    Of course, two different drones may have modified the json nearly simultaneously so the json would need to be timestamped and the earlier timestamp overrules the later one in case of merge conflicts.








  • Huh seems weird. Doesn’t the US have extremely broad contract law that would make this a contract violation that can be legally enforced - including seizing your salary or bank account until the penalty is paid?

    Over here you can park for free exactly once and successfully deny payment if you claim it was someone else who violated the contract. However, you can then be legally forced to sign a declaration that your vehicle will never park there again with significantly higher violation fees.
