  • When I think of Copyleft licenses, I just think of it as “Use this program as you see fit, but if you share/redistribute it, you may not add any restrictions to it.”

    I don’t understand why there are communities that hate GPL so much. It is such a powerful license that practically guarantees that the program will be free for any who wants it, it just won’t allow someone to add restrictions to it.

    I’ve heard arguments against the GPL like: “It’s too restrictive!” Only if you want your program to be muddled with any kind of program that doesn’t respect freedom. Saying the GPL is too restrictive to developers is like saying the 13th amendment of the US Constitution is too restrictive to slave owners.











  • Fun trivia about the Xbox controller is that their design is heavily influenced by Sega’s. The Xbox controller has the same face button layout as the Dreamcast’s. And if you compare the Duke (original fat) controller to a Saturn/Genesis/Mega Drive 6-button controller, you can think of those black and white buttons as the former C and Z buttons.

    Some consider the OG Xbox as a successor to the Dreamcast.
