about that copyright thingy (and licensing)
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, May 08 2013 @ 03:42 PM EDT
What would be the problem for a ( well intending ) software firm to have its
software sold like a book to customers ?
As in you can use it in one place, on a computer as intended
Is that to hard ?
Why does it need a license anyway ?
Or is that licensing just by the lawyers and for the lawyers ?

recently I looked into a license and it stated that that firm could terminate
your license when you would engage into a lawsuit against that firm.
And another wanted to be indemnified for lawsuit costs by the software user in
case ( as I read it ) lawsuits from third parties arose.

Can that sort of disgusting nonsense just go out this world ?

Which is the better way to publish on the web? The well known and
open specification pdf, or the proprietary .doc? Note the two
submissions linked from Kroes' blog were not ISO .docx,
and were not locked read-only.
