  • "Otherwise you’re not really allowing them anything."

    "Do whatever you wish with this product."

    That is allowing them anything and everything they wish.

  • Things like "enforcement" and "attribution" are restrictions, the opposite of freedom.

    Why do you want a license that allows you to sue the users of your supposedly free software?

  • you are trying too hard to be clever

  • What is the application name of the Lemmy client that is crashing? Responding here should pass it on to the instance server developer.

  • The point of the CLEVER LICENSE is that there is no "enforcement." It grants ultimate freedom. The recipient of a product under this license can do whatever they wish with it. Enforcement is the polar opposite of the grant of freedom.

    Read the language carefully. I wrote it with clever care.

    "Do whatever is clever. Do as you wish with this product."

    The phrase, "whatever is clever" means, "whatever you find suitable for your purpose."

    The phrase, "do as you WISH" is a phrase of personal sovereignty, of one's own private law, giving unbridled lawful freedom.

    "Do whatever is clever shall be the whole of the law."

    The phrase, "SHALL be the whole of the law" specifies that the terms of the license are private law. Coupled with the prior phrase, the grantee's wish is the only restraint and only enforcement necessary.

    When a monarch says, "I wish to receive porterhouse steak for dinner," he or she will receive it. In law for a sovereign to "wish" is to command.

    This meaning is similar to the phrase, "Your wish is my command."

  • musk is one of the richest man alive, why does he need subsidies to do his job??

    Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor. Next question ...

  • Yes, it does impart a sense of gravity to otherwise mundane chatter. The only thing missing is letterhead with a monogram.

    For some reason I don't yet understand, my fediverse server inserts the CC in some replies and I forgot to catch it. I haven't had time to analyze the rooster's guts yet.

  • They could just make magnetic connectors with a shallow socket. But those would last longer and you wouldn't need to keep buying new stuff.

  • How about that CGI car in orbit in front of a swim screen? There are still a lot of people who haven't figured that one out yet.

    What it accomplished is manifold, but mainly to get investors to pony up, and creditors to extend credit, and the fan boys to fan the flames.

  • Google Fiber sounds like a laxative. Does the user poop it out?

    When someone says their life is an open book, it could mean an open check book.
