I wish they would ban it in Germany, too.

She’s fine with tighter shirts, but those hot-pants? Nah, she hates them and threatens to cut them into pieces when I talk about buying a pair, even though they look so comfortable.

My wife.

Didn’t he get the 3rd Reich reference of the poster or doesn’t he care?

This is an agenda pushed by the right. They don’t understand the difference between guilt / responsibility for what happened and responsibility to not let it happen again.

We are not guilty nor responsible for what happened during WW2, but we are responsible to not let it ever happen again.

This.

Additionally, the nazis built infrastructure (trains, KZs, …) just to kill Jews. They optimized it to maximize the amount of Jews to bring into KZs, they built the infamous gas showers and gas chambers to be able to kill more people more efficiently.

They industrialized genocide.

While there were many cruel mass murders, this industrialization thing makes it unique so far.

Greetings from a fellow German.

His family name was Julius (because he was from the family of the Iulii). Caesar was a title and since Augustus became part of the name when the position was taken up.

Came here to write something like that. 💯

hey, congrats! :-) have fun with your extra free time!

And here I am, working for the same company for over two decades 🤷

Ah, that‘s the angle you’re coming from.

In this regard you are right. I could’ve chosen AGPL and use it in my commercial project nonetheless. I wasn’t aware of that at the time, and that was a mistake.

That said, I don’t expect all users to notify me. But if a company like Apple, with millions of users, exposes me to even a fraction of its users - then yes. I expect a mail beforehand. I did not sign up for this.

But I agree with your last part again ;)

To be honest, I wasn’t aware of this option when I wrote this library. Nowadays I would chose this path.

I did not want to make a business out of this library. I don’t want money for it.

All I would’ve wanted is that the people at Apple would’ve given me a heads up beforehand, so I would’ve been prepared for it and not caught on surprise. And a that they do a version upgrade when I release a new bugfix release.

This is not a license issue. I was well aware of the consequences when I chose the MIT license. This is not about money.

Yeah, well. What should I say. I wanted to use it in a commercial project, too :)

Yeah, I was surprised, too. I guess they implemented stuff using Ruby and didn’t bother to write an in-house implementation. 🤷‍♂️

Apple deployed a library I wrote to every mac on the world, and additionally bundles it with Xcode.

Apple users reported some bugs, that‘s how I found out.

I never heard a word from them. No patches, no bug reports, nothing, they didn’t even bother to refresh the bundled version.

I think in the meantime they removed it from macOS but still bundle it with Xcode.

I mean, I didn’t any money, but some appreciation would’ve been nice, and a version refresh…

If you are curious: it is this library: https://github.com/ckruse/CFPropertyList

Edit: appreciation as in: a mail with a notice that they did so.
