<p>If you think 3% is too much, there are plenty of other payment processors... the thing is, most of that 3% is not set by the processor (or kept by them) but is set by the card networks.  It is the card networks that should be targeted by antitrust laws.<p>If there anyone could make an App Store, then we would have a better idea of what the market rate for app stores should be.</p>

<p>The Linux Foundation also runs several other projects, none of which do I see being ran terribly poorly from a corporate meddling point.  I can only hope that is a strong signal of things to come.</p>

<p>The OSD does not allow for discrimination:<p>"The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons."<p>"The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research."<p>By having a clause that discriminates based on revenue, it cannot be Open Source.<p>If they had required everyone to provide attribution in the same manner, then we would have to examine the specifics of the attribution requirement to determine if it is compatible... but since they discriminate, it violates the open source definition, and no further analysis is necessary.</p>

<p>Perhaps, but the comment I was replying to was claiming "not wearing uniforms" which isn't what was going on.  I have no idea if badges were displayed at any point, but this was a federal courthouse, one would hope that they would be asking for identification.  It should also be noted that according to the article, NYPD was present at the time.<p>I don't think, given the facts I currently have, that claiming he didn't know they were real ICE agents is going to hold much water.</p>

<p>They were wearing uniforms, I watched the video.  Badges were not clearly visible in the video, but they certainly had uniforms.</p>

<p>I don't think the pandemic was a good measure of the impact UBI would have.  People were being laid off before the payments started.  There were certainly those who quit or decided not to work as a result.  And there was a lot of inflation.  But it is hard to draw any conclusions from the random panicked temporary approach vs a more well thought out implementation.</p>

<p>The AGPL won't prevent anyone from adding some subscription plan, hosting it, and advertising it.  It does require them to license derivative works under the AGPL.<p>There are many different goals for developing software, and different ways to make money doing it.  The AGPL can be useful for some of them, but can be rather limiting too.</p>

<p>Generally speaking, yes, you can immediately deduct the non depreciated value.  Most machines will be scraped, giving them a "scrape value".  You would immediately deduct the difference.<p>In fact, sometimes when you dispose of an asset, you get more for the scrape than you have left in depreciation- and you have to take that difference as a profit.</p>
