It's a good point. Imagine if one of those open source projects that Elastic uses licensed there own little bit of code under the SSL. Elastic would flip out.

Ugh. Promoting isolation exercises should be banned.

"Shady" take-over of plugins/apps is just a big a suspicious fail as allowing apps to gain access to all contacts on mobile phones.

Google never really cared about user privacy at all.

I thought it had been renamed Typescript?

Because you can't fork it and do whatever you want with it.

> The SSPL restrictions apply when the licensed software is used to provide a service.

Wrong. It only affects code going forward. Elastic can't change the license of existing code.

It's not open source though.

> their code

Meaning the entire codebase of the infrastucture that provides the offering. I.e. the underlying code behind AWS. Not a big deal right?

I wonder what will happen to the AWS ElasticSearch offering.

WARNING - it's much, much slower than DosBOX due to more accurate emulation. This means it won't run some games fast enough.

Why "equivalent"? Why can't we just say street food?

Maybe you should be asking, what are their options? They can't force you to give away something you own.

Why are they so confident existing vaccines in development will work against the new strain? Isn't that why we get a new flu shot every year, because vaccines don't work against mutated viruses?

> It is sad in many ways to see what happened to DEC (probably more so than AltaVista). It was such an innovative company back in the 60s and 70s,

They should have merged with a PC make obviously.

> but unlike IBM weren't able to reinvent themselves in first the new 80s world of PCs and then later internet.

Ironically IBM did fail to reinvent itself despite inventing the PC and it's cake was stolen from it.
