      Just replaced a print in a Epson T88V receipt printer.

        Nothing says "good morning" like a message from someone telling me that I've won $150k from a non-existent 6 initial government agency.

            @thwr That's what I figured.

            The second and third paragraphs of this article highlight what I thought was strange: https://blog.nexcess.net/2016/08/03/how-can-developers-make-a-living-from-gpl-plugins/

            The idea that under the GPL it seems like it's allowed to take someone's work and distribute it as your own (either for free or for a fee). While that's clearly an ethical problem, it doesn't seem to be disallowed.

            Of course you can. The GPL has, from day one, guaranteed that you can distribute the work and charge for it. That was explicitly built into the license as a requirement.

            It's not an ethical problem in the slightest. It's not disallowed... it's a protected right. The entire GPL ecosystem is built on this.

            You cannot CALL It your own, however. You must maintain the licensing and acknowledgements of the original. You cannot lie about it.

            But you can fork a project and call that fork your own. AFAIK you just need to reference the original project. Or is such a reference just good practice?

            Or course, all critical components of the GPL. That's what makes it so powerful. Like how NextCloud was able to protect the ownCloud code by forking it.

              You have to maintain the license, nothing else.

                Yeah, was pretty sure about this. You can do anything, as long as you keep (and respect) the license.

                  Ah,.. using something that is otherwise useless... Yes,.. I know. No reliability,... it's a dead horse. But it's something to toy with.

                  I've installed

                  On the 'defunct' Cloud@Cost box and am sending mail back and forth to myself.

                  Gives me just one more place to work on learning how to access Linux and do things....

                      Just got called at lunch, apparently our phones are only working intermittently. AT&T network outage, not my problem, but I still get to explain to users what that means... 😑

                            I think the median age in the US is 36 or 37.

                                          So just took a quiz on SW about how much you know about DNS. The only ones I missed were the windows specific questions. What does knowing how to clear the DNS cache through PowerShell show about your DNS knowledge?
