With gog? of course i can. I have the files and i can give them to my family. They can then play them.

The fact that I'm "buying" a license holds as much weight in this issue as the countless eulas and privacy policies i supposedly agreed to.

We "endusers" live in a world were we are compelled, yes compelled, to enter legal agreements to do anything, and where these terms are dictated and changed unilaterally. Terms like these should and are meaningless yo everyone except for courts that foolishly hold them valid. For everything else, they should and are ignored.

This is not true. I want a big standard library and I am more than willing to deal with the downsides just like i have with python.

Batteries included ia the only sane way to do programming languages.

Couldn't this be implemented as a web extension? I imagine modifying singlefile to automatically send html to a local port is much easier than trying to convince a chronically mismanaged organization like mozilla (no offence to mozillians).
