What's the largest project this has happened to. The main one I can think of is Bukkit (the Minecraft server that allows plugins). One of the developers got mad that Mojang hired some other Bukkit devs and essentially sold the project to Mojang so he DMCA'd everything hosting the source code to it. Since he was a large contributor it essentially killed the project.

Is this bad? Remeber the GPL proponents were always touting that you could use the GPL to "free the source" of derivative works /WHILE/ also claiming that the GPL /WAS NOT A K/ (they were correct on the second part: it isn't a contract alone).
Specific performance is /ONLY/ available in contracts (and even then it's hard to get). They were blatantly talking out of both sides of their mouths for decades.

The license was originally written by Richard Stallman
GPLv3 was written by Richard Stallman, with legal counsel from Eben Moglen and Richard Fontana from the Software Freedom Law Center.
You didn't even bother to check.
Like all pro-women people you must claim victories for women from that which was set down by men.
Same thing with the Linux kernel and Opensource: Men did all the work, women have come to kick them out and rule the roost.
That is how western society is. It is an enemy of all men.

GPLv1 and v2 are by RMS.

Women had nothing to do with the GPL, nor the opensource movement, until they invaded in 2009. They've done nothing since but rule the roost.
>I'm find with women getting some credit.
Because you are a faggot. You think you can give them undeserved credit and get your dick wet.

I do wish they'd post it, but if you read their "reason" for creating the DMCA repo it is clear that it is to simply mock the senders.
When there is an issue of law that threatens them, it is not something they can easily mock without lawyers and commentators from the other side citing references that show that the reasoning is sound. They do not want a media story either, so they do not post the takedown.

>p46 "As long as the project continues to honor the terms of the licenses under which it recieved contributions, the licenses continue in effect. There is one important caveat: Even a perpetual license can be revoked. See the discussion of bare licenses and contracts in Chapter 4"
--Lawrence Rosen
>p56 "A third problem with bare licenses is that they may be revocable by the licensor. Specifically, /a license not coupled with an interest may be revoked./ The term /interest/ in this context usually means the payment of some royalty or license fee, but there are other more complicated ways to satisfy the interest requirement. For example, a licensee can demonstrate that he or she has paid some consideration-a contract law term not found in copyright or patent law-in order to avoid revocation. Or a licensee may claim that he or she relied on the software licensed under an open source license and now is dependent upon that software, but this contract law concept, called promissory estoppel, is both difficult to prove and unreliable in court tests. (The concepts of /consideration/ and /promissory estoppel/ are explained more fully in the next section.) Unless the courts allow us to apply these contract law principles to a license, we are faced with a bare license that is revocable.
--Lawrence Rosen
>p278 "Notice that in a copyright dispute over a bare license, the plaintiff will almost certainly be the copyright owner. If a licensee were foolish enough to sue to enforce the terms and conditions of the license, the licensor can simply revoke the bare license, thus ending the dispute. Remeber that a bare license in the absence of an interest is revocable."

> Jacobsen v. Katzer.
Appelate court ruled that the Artistic License was a Copyright License, _Overuled_ the lowercourt's opinion that the only damages available for the AL were contract damages. Now licensor can get copyright damages instead.
How does this hurt me, DIPSHIT? Oh, are you relying on the non-binding DICTA earlier in the case? SHOWS WHAT A FUCKING RETARD YOU ARE.
The ruling helps me. The court decided that the AL was a copyright license, overruling the "we have a contract here" ruling of the lower court. If the court found it was a contract then only contract damages would be awarded, as is their practice.
Artifex case involves a preliminary offer to do business where the company allows two means of acceptance of the offer: Pay for the commercial license, accept the GPL.
Not the GPL standing alone.
Both of these cases are cases where a licensee violates the license, and the court allows the licensor to recover.
Completely unrelated to a situation where the licensor revokes a completely gratis license and you FUCKING pieces of shit feel that you can punish the licensor for doing so.
> that taught you that licenses require consideration to be irrevocable.
It's very basic law of licenses, you fucking moron.
Your only other option is to beg the court under equity not to enforce the owner's legal right. Which, is the SFLC's game plan.
The GPL itself is NOT a contract.
>If you really are an attorney, I want to know who did your character and fitness interview. Man, did that guy fuck up.
Tell me how so, dipshit. It's you who seem to be unaware that licenses are revocable, that obeying a pre-existing legal duty is insufficient for consideration, that a non-exclusive license is NEVER a transfer of rights.
You just assume that because commercial copyright licenses are irrevocable outside of their terms that gratis ones are too. Same mistake PJ the paralegal made.
>But no, you need to keep trying to convince attorneys that licenses are irrevocable
Nope, informing the lay people that gratis licenses /are/ revocable.
>and little girls are capable of consent
YHWH doesn't require consent. See Devarim chapter 22, verse 28 (key words: taphas, na'ar (hebrew), padia (greek Septuagint), puella (latin vulgate)). I know it conflicts with your western religion, but hopefully the muslims will completely destroy and dismantle it so there is no record left of your western religion ever existing on this earth.
>and adult women can't be allowed near software.
The adult women infiltrate gratis projects, then rule over the men who actually built the project from the ground up. They are entryists and ENEMIES. They do this to every single hobby men build into a science or engineering field. I can't really say all women though, WHITE women.
>I've got friends at the SFC
Does that include that baby-faced faggot B.Kuhn who isn't even a lawyer and then suddenly learned one year that, if he was going to run a legal consulting firm, he'd better hire a lawyer instead of playing one... and then learned that a lawyer cannot be below lay persons in such a firm, so he made the woman the head of the place and pretends it was all for women's empowerment, thinking that no one knows the bar rules and can see through his bullshit? Is that the Software Freedom Conservancy's who's "clarification" I debunked within 5 hours of them posting? The one that ignores section 0 of the GPLv2 which defines "you" as the licensees (not the grantor) and falsely attempts to convince readers that section 4 is a "no revocation" clause when it is simply a clarification that if an upstream licensee loses his license through automatic rescission, the downstream licensees do not automatically suffer the same fate. That SFC? The one that "advises" its clients to "wait it out" so they can lose their standing via the statute of limitations running (Great advice B.Kuhn).
Yea, a bunch of fucking retards who basically commit legal malpractice against their clients as a "career". But you get what you pay for (and that also goes for licenses)

Some decisions I have made regarding my GPC-Slots 2 game:
I had chosen, as was my want, to rescind the license I extended from a
few choice individuals. I can do this because GPC-Slots 2 is my
copyrighted work. I built it. I never transferred the copyright over to
anyone.
The individuals are:
"JohnDoe" from 8chan (he knows who he is)
comphacker from here, reddit (if he violates, I'll know who he is after
the subpoenas during discovery)
Leigh Honeywell
Alex "Skud" Bayley
the "Geek feminist" collective (I believe they are identifiable, and a
small group, so no harm using this closed-class identification)
I will continue to rescind the license from anyone who adds a "Code of
Conduct" anywhere near my code (to "fight sexism".). I wholeheartedly
/support/ sexism, as-long as it is not against men. Since men are now
being assaulted as thanks for their ceaseless decades-long work on
opensource by people who did not put in the time, men should /support
sexism/ by revoking license to their gratis licensed copyrighted code
from any project that adds a "Code of Conduct".

Some notes:
A license without an attached interest is revocable in the US (other
countries have different laws, which is why many OSS repos kept out of
the US in the past, it is also why the FSF is both a 501(c)(3) charity
and also requires copyright assignment to them for any contribution they
accept (otherwise an author who was still the copyright owner of the
code could rescind the license to the code)).
Opensource friends like to bring up the recent district court decision
in california to try to argue the the GPL is a contract. (It's also
interesting that they started adding CoC's right after said decision, to
push out the men who created OpenSource) They are wrong. Acquiescing to
a preexisting duty is insufficient for consideration. They like to quote
this part:
> "Not so. The GNU GPL, which is attached to the complaint,provides that
> the
Ghostscript user agrees to its terms if the user does not obtain a
commercial
license" (Artifex v. Hancom, Case No.16-cv-06982-JSC, page 4 line 17)
This is false on its face.
The GNU GPL contains no such language.
The /business agreement writing/ that Artifex wrote up and posted on its
webpage includes such language. The court here is conflating "The GNU
GPL" with the writing Artifex published on it's webpage. It is an error
on the courts case. A typo by whomever who drafted the decision perhaps
(conflating Artifex's contract language with the GPL itself).
The court goes on to allow Artifex to recover on either
breach-of-contract grounds (for the amount a commercial license is
worth) OR to go forward with a statutory copyright infringement action.
If the GPL alone was a contract, there would simply be two different
state-law breach of contract theories to pursue (breach of the "business
offer" writing or breach of the GPL "contract", and the court would
dispose of the case that way).

Hi MikeeUSA,
Thank you for your notices, the most recent of which is included below for reference.
This DMCA notice is incomplete. It lacks "A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed" and "Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party."
Unfortunately, an electronic signature must be a legal name, not a monicker or username, and we cannot accept disposable or temporary email addresses as reliable contact information for a DMCA notice.
Once you've revised your notice to include the required details, please send back the entire revised notice, and not only the corrected sections. Once we've received a complete and actionable notice, we'll process it expeditiously.
Thanks,
GitHub Staff
I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above on the infringing web pages is not authorized by the copyright owner, or its agent, or the law. I have taken fair use into consideration.
I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
:
As you may know, In the United States; a license, absent an attached interest, is revocable.
A "John Doe" had his non-exclusive license regarding the game "GPC-Slots2" terminated by the copyright owner (me: MikeeUSA).
The copyright owner may do this as-of-right, unless there is an attached interest (ie: unless the licensee paid good consideration for the license).
The "John Doe" then proceeded to belligerently upload a copy of "GPC-Slots2" to your host, GitHub.
This violated Author's (my) copyright, since "John Doe"'s gratuitous bare license had been terminated by the copyright holder (me).
The "John Doe" then proceeded to modify my work, which again violated my copyright since I had previously revoked his license.
The license flows from me, the copyright owner, not any text. It is permission to use, redistribute, modify, etc. Instructions on how to use my property.
When such permission is not supported by any consideration, it may be rescinded by the owner, at his will.
(/Regardless/ of the "terms". "Terms" are only enforceable against the grantor if the licensee has paid consideration for them, essentially, under US law.)
I have done so.
I reiterated to the "John Doe" that his license had been terminated.
"John Doe" then informed me that I "can't do that". I tried to explain to him US law.
"John Doe" declared that he did not care and would keep the violating work up, in defiance of me.
(IE: he would "pirate" it)
He then cited works from a discredited paralegal while I cited published works by lawyers studied in their field.

I doubt that you'll deanonymize yourself by actually filing a lawsuit. You've already said you won't identify yourself because you'd probably be disbarred. Of course, that's not really a concern because you're not actually a licensed attorney, but it demonstrated your reluctance to identify yourself. As soon as you do, everyone will be able to look you up and will know you're not a lawyer, just an insane crank still living with mummy. And when she finds out that her unemployed son is a pedophilic rapist with delusions of grandeur, she'll probably put you out on the street.

You take it down or I sue you, simple as that.
I have revoked the license from a number of people, including the John Doe who has chosen to violate my copyright thence-forth.
I have signed using my 2 decades long held pen-name.
The U.S. Code defines an electronic signature for the purpose of US law as "an electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record."
My signing with my pen-name suffices for this purpose. What is important is my intent to sign the record, which I have evinced.
I have also posted the information on my long-held project page, so that you may know that I am me:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gpcslots2/files/notes/
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gpcslots2/files/notes/tkdnreq_github.txt/download
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gpcslots2/files/notes/takedownreq_vs_johndoe-of-8ch.txt/download
(I have also uploaded this response to said /notes/ directory)
In addition to many other places.
Your contention that I must do anything greater at this point is legally inefficacious.
I _DEMAND_ that you take the offending material down immediately.

Nope, my parents are well aware of my opinions and have been for the last two decades. I easily back them up with laws from YHWH, as-well as historical marriages.

No, they would look me up and know that I am a lawyer, and that I don't bother to work too hard because I do not have to. Then they would attempt to disbar me and they would succeed because the Law profession is thoroughly CoC'd
There's no reason to be a fully employed "sane" man when you are paid nothing for your work (no cute child brides, just divorce rape).
No pay. No work.
The insane who work on their hobbies and do not contribute to the enemy civilization beyond that have the correct idea.

Real people care about their families and the people they know. They want them to be happy.
American golems care only about their law or belief system (women's rights, no marrying cute girls, etc) and will happily destroy each-other within their "families" for disobedience to their heretical american religion.
American golems also take great pleasure at abandoning their offspring immediately at the age their religion decrees: 18.
That is because, since a golem is not a person, it cares nothing for it's own: it does not own it's own self and is a slave to its master: so why would it care about "it's" people? It has no people from its point of view.

And two out of three source code hosts agreeing to delete your irrelevant Perl script proves nothing. Three out of three wouldn't either. Come back after you've won in Federal court and you have an opinion written by a judge that would "edify" the Linux kernel copyright holders who might want to rescind. And don't come back until then. Right now, you have nothing. You are nothing. And your pestilential, masturbatory spam here and elsewhere does nothing but alienate people who might otherwise be sympathetic to your position.

Before that you were saying I wouldn't revoke any licenses.
Before that you were saying I couldn't revoke licenses.
Notice that none of the hosts in the US argue against my ability to revoke.
And a signature does not need to be you "legal" name. It can be an X. It just needs to show assent. I posted the text next to the original download area you got the code from: obviously it's me.

I don't have to win in federal court to show that a gratis non-exclusive license is revocable. Various lawyers agree with me and it's been the case for centuries.
You have to win in court to show that the rule has changed. It hasn't.
I really fucking hate you people.
The fact is that before people were under the impression that you couldn't rescind.

It shows the linux kernel peeps how it's done. It shows them that it can be done. I can be done for my "WITTEL PERL SCRIPT" and it can be done for linux code they own the copyright to.
And you think my 15 year old wee wwwwiiiitttlleeee ppeerrrlll sscrripppttt is the only thing I program? Fucking moron.
I chose it because it is a good legal example. It's a nice show pony I can trot out when I need a case or controversy. It's GPLv2 (+) like the linux kernel (well lin isn't +, but if I can rescind my GPLv2+, they can rescind GPLv2). It illustrates the underlying law fairly well and straightforwardly.
There are few complications.

That is basically "We have _NO_ defense at law, so we will beg the court under equity to not enforce the author's lawful rights - and since self-help is not available, please court".
Good luck arguing an equitable defense when you didn't pay a dime to anybody, didn't have a word with the author, and are simply a freeloader.

I always assumed the “consideration” you were getting under the GPL was the free use of the software your contributing to.
You use the Linux kernel for a while, want it to do something extra, contribute code to it, and now you have it doing what you want, but since you didn’t pay for any of the labor that went into the rest of the code, that’s your consideration.
Your code on its own would be worthless without the probably millions of man hours that went into making the rest of the kernel.

>You use the Linux kernel for a while, want it to do something extra, contribute code to it, and now you have it doing what you want, but since you didn’t pay for any of the labor that went into the rest of the code, that’s your consideration.
The "other side" (licensor) did not ask for, nor require you to "contribute" anything.
Secondly, if you retain your copyrights have you really "contributed" anything? You still own your work in-toto.
What the licensor has done is changed from the default of "no derivative works permitted" to "some derivative works permitted". That's a win for you, with nothing given to the licensor. Again it's a gratuity.
(Which is re-payed, often enough, by the licensees not even following the guidelines and violating the license anyway)
In the case of the Linux Kernel, it is _VERY_ hard to get anything accepted for inclusion in the first place (this is one of the failings by Linus: he just doesn't know what he doesn't know and rejects quite good patches like grsecurity and pax)
For projects where there is a contributor licensing agreement the story is different, but that is not the case here, nor with linux, nor with many (traditionally most non-gnu) projects.

The developer of the text game GPC-Slots 2, known as Mikeeusa, withdrew the GPL 2 license to his game for a number of left-wing parrots. As a reason, he called the inadmissibility of placing his code in one repository with the rules of behavior of developers prohibiting sexism in relation to women. In his communication, he cited a list of legal grounds valid within the United States legal framework to enable him to do so, as well as urging all developers to follow suit. In addition, he said he would continue to revoke the license for other left-wing parrots. Left-hand-liberal dump ZDNet has already published an angry article about this.

I chose, as was my will, to terminate the license I had extended to some people. I can do this because GPC-Slots 2 is a job I hold copyright. I've never transferred this copyright to anyone.
With these words pops up one of the most followed threads of the last period in the list Linux Kernel mailing list created by that Mikeeusa, developer of the game GPC-Slots 2 (personally never seen nor heard before), within which the author says he wants to Restrict the use of your code to some specific people and in general to all those who add "code of Conduct" close to your code.
The problem is that the developer ignores a fundamental point that we have already covered in the recent past, precisely when Richard Stallman himself has confirmed that the contributions to the Linux code could not be cancelled: once GPL, for ever LPG.
Stallman's word was not enough, the good Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, author of reference for the Linux world of ZDNet, confirms it after contacting several lawyers:
"The GPLv2 have several provisions that, when taken together, can be construed as an irrevocable license from each contributor."
The GPLV2 has several provisions which, when put together, can be construed as an irrevocable license from each contributor.
Though so, black on white, things seem very clear there are holes within the various definitions that can create contradictions of terms and confusion.
Of course things would be much simpler if any developer who decides to develop open source code thinks about donating something without any constraint, respecting the principle of gratuity on all fronts (not only monetary then, but also Ideological). But this is a complicated world, where the licenses to be balanced are manifold and many things change in the course of work, see for example the introduction of the code of conduct. So the steps should be carefully assessed, a bit like when you publish a photo on the internet thinking it can stay private forever: Impossible. The same applies to the code: reprocessing once you have made it free could prove very, very complicated.
What do you think?

I had chosen, as was my want, to rescind the license I extended from a
few choice individuals. I can do this because GPC-Slots 2 is my
copyrighted work. I built it. I never transferred the copyright over to
anyone.
Ho scelto, come era mia volontà, di rescindere la licenza che avevo esteso ad alcune persone. Posso farlo perché GPC-Slots 2 è un lavoro del quale detengo copyright. Non ho mai trasferito questo copyright a nessuno.
Con queste parole si apre uno dei thread più seguiti dell’ultimo periodo nella lista Linux Kernel Mailing List creato da tale MikeeUSA, sviluppatore del gioco GPC-Slots 2 (personalmente mai visto né sentito prima d’ora), all’interno del quale l’autore dice di voler limitare l’utilizzo del suo codice ad alcune specifiche persone ed in generale a tutti quelli che aggiungono del “Code of Conduct” vicino al proprio codice.
Il problema è che lo sviluppatore ignora un punto fondamentale che già abbiamo trattato nel recente passato, precisamente quando lo stesso Richard Stallman ha confermato come i contributi al codice Linux non potessero essere annullati: una volta GPL, per sempre GPL.
Non bastasse la parola di Stallman, il buon Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, autore di riferimento per il mondo Linux di ZDNet, lo conferma dopo aver contattato diversi avvocati:
“The GPLv2 have several provisions that, when taken together, can be construed as an irrevocable license from each contributor.”
La GPLv2 ha diverse disposizioni che, se messe insieme, possono essere interpretate come una licenza irrevocabile da ciascun contributore.
Sebbene quindi, nero su bianco, le cose sembrino chiarissime ci sono dei buchi all’interno delle varie definizioni che possono creare contraddizioni di termini e confusione.
Certo le cose sarebbero molto più semplici se ogni sviluppatore che decide di sviluppare codice open-source ragionasse pensando di donare qualcosa senza alcun vincolo, rispettando il principio della gratuità su tutti i fronti (non solo monetaria quindi, ma anche ideologica). Ma questo è un mondo complicato, in cui le licenze tra cui bilanciarsi sono molteplici e molte cose cambiano in corso d’opera, vedi ad esempio l’introduzione del codice di condotta. Pertanto i passi vanno valutati con attenzione, un po’ come quando si pubblica una foto su internet pensando possa rimanere privata per sempre: impossibile. Lo stesso vale per il codice: ritrattare una volta che lo si è reso libero potrebbe rivelarsi molto, molto complicato.
Cosa ne pensate?

My goal was to educate them so they would contact their local qualified attorney and formulate a strategy going forward.
If one erroneously believes one "has no case" because "LOLz No" one will not make an inquiry.
It's been months and the other side is still using the same non-arguments, I hope the kernel hackers of now and of old will see that.

this has got to be the gayest, most pathetic, petty & retarded controversy that I've ever seen. When I first read the thread title and subject I thought it was about something actually meaningful, like some govt or corp using someone's GPL'd work for nefarious purposes, but in reality it's just some moron who wants to show those feminists who's boss by kicking up a stink on the internet. Fucking embarrassing. It's like gamergate's retarded brother who shits his pants and somehow broke free of the attic he's locked in by his ashamed parents.
OP, all you've succeeded in doing is giving us and the GPL a bad name, and moreover revealing yourself to fit exactly the stereotype of whinging beta manchild that feminists would have people believe we all are. You've made yourself into a big flashing light that SJWs can point to and be like "see? that's what they're like!", so thanks fucker. The FOSS community and society at large would be greatly better off if you killed yourself, but I'd imagine you're the type of salty entitled little brat that you'd consider continuing to exist as some form of passive "fighting back" against society, plaguing it with your pathetic existence and getting in everyone's way as your revenge for being born.
And the rest of you are not much better. Haven't you faggots got anything better to do than to prop up shit like this?

You did read it all, you're LARPing as "some other person, right thinking". You've been here since the begining.
The progression is as such.
Eons ago I was barred from a casino.
So I decided to write my own console slot machine software.
(Note: Linux doesn't seem to have much of any other console slot machine software, so shitty or not, this is the only game in town).
I included some easter eggs, if you write DeCSS it displays the "illegal prime" if you write "woman" it displays the sacrilegious thought.
(Say no to women's rights : the opposite of white-man's religion).
Valid input is X, P, A, C, and EXIT.
At some point years later some host admin's fat cunt "girlfriend" (we atleast hope he was getting something from it) became angry, and got my charming program removed from the host for the sacrilege against white women.
10 years pass.
Women have now taken over as a 'gate keeper' role vs those men who 'do it for free'. Some men are unhappy that their gratis contributions are repaid with slave driving, threats, and the like.
Opensource "visionaries" such as Bruce Perens, Matthew Garret, and others proclaim that they "do not need" the "old stick in the mud men" anymore, and such should be ejected to make room for women.
This angers more of the men who actually created the thing.
I offer a legal solution, because I am a lawyer and it's what comes to mind.
Some programmers declare I'm wrong etc etc.
They don't know shit.

Good. The GPL deserves a bad reputation. The one and only reason programmers use the GPL is because they believe that people who use their code to create derivative works must "free the source" if they redistribute binaries.
That is completely not the case in the USA. You will _NEVER_ succeed in having a court grant such specific performance. First the GPL is not a contract. Second SP is only avaiable in contract situations and will be granted only when there is no other reasonable way damages could be calculated. IE: when the thing in question is unique. Guess what is unique, at law.
Yes, REAL ESTATE. And that's pretty much _it_.
The GPL was always a bait and switch and RMS etc knew this from the start. What they purportedly wish to accomplish is not legally possible in the USA.

The contention here is that talk of ownership of small girls somehow self-refutes the legal-reasoning regarding an unbacked promise being no promise at all (it's called an illusory promise). Since you know nothing of the law, you do not know what they teach you in the first week of contracts.

Nor does it hurt the argument.
>>1037108
They are. Every single one of them is. From 1 to 3, even though 3 attempts not to be.
The crux is very simple. In the United States for luser to hold owner to a "term", regarding the use of owner's property, luser must show that he has paid owner something for that "term" and thus there is consideration and a contract that luser can enforce the terms of.
If luser did not pay owner anything, there is no contract. Nothing is not consideration. Obeying a preexisting duty is not consideration.
Nothing is nothing.
It's very fair. You own your property. You cannot normally be dispossessed of it for no bargain. You are no one's slave, your property and yourself cannot normally be burdened for no bargain.
Licensee paid you nothing. He is not an owner of anything, this was not a gift or transfer. You simply gave him more permission than he previously held. You can rescind that permission at any time. He has paid you nothing to justify the burdening of your legal rights in such a way as to deny you them.
▶ No.1038110
>>1037022
>Are the FOSS licenses worth anything or not?
Not to the "consumer".
You cannot enforce them against the grantor. Any "promise" of "I will not rescind" is completely illusory under US law here, since it isn't backed by the taker by a payment etc.
Just as you could say someone can walk all over your lawn forever, the next day you could tell them to stop. It is the exact same thing and the exact same law.
Now if you have them pay you, in order for you to grant them permission, that's a different story. Your promise not to molest their degradation of your life and attachments is no longer an illusion: it's backed by the valuable consideration they have paid you.

The licensee is not protected against the owner.
Now, the licensee still cannot violate the copyright of the owner, so ignoring the licensing terms is not allowed, but nothing prevents the owner from withdrawing those permissions at any time. Licensee didn't pay for them, licensee doesn't "own" them.

Hi MikeeUSA,
Unfortunately, a pen name does not suffice when used in combination with a disposable email address. Whether under the definition in 15 U.S.C 7006(5) which you cited, or as used in the DMCA, an electronic signature needs to be associated with a person, as that term is defined by 15 U.S.C. 7006(8). A psuedonym, without other information that would allow us to associate that with a specific, identifiable person, does not meet 17 U.S.C. 512(3)(a)(i)'s requirement that it be signed by an authorized person. As a practical matter, this is especially necessary where, as you claim, an account that may not be you is posting content using that same pseudonym.
Even if that were not so, your notice would still be incomplete in two other ways.
First, it lacks "information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party," as you've used a disposable email address and provided no other contact information that would be sufficient to assure we can contact the complaining party. This type of reliable contact information is required by 17 U.S.C. 512(3)(a)(iv).
Second, your notice does not appear to identify material which infringes on any exclusive rights in the original work. Both your source code and the repositories you identified are published under GPL licenses. You have not identified any way in which those repositories violate the GPL, and without more detail we cannot determine how redistributing or modifying GPL-licensed code would constitute infringing activity. While GitHub is not in a position to provide you with legal advice, here is an informative link about the irrevocability of GPL licenses: https://copyleft.org/guide/comprehensive-gpl-guidech8.html#x11-540007.4

My publishing of these notices on my long-held sourceforge account,
along side the download link is sufficient for a reasonable person
to conclude that I, the author of the program, am the issuer of the
request.
This is the very spot that the John Doe has obtained the work.
Secondly it is my exclusive right, as the copyright holder, to control
the distribution of the work as I see fit, and to control the creation
and distribution of derivatives of the work.
I have chosen to do so in rescinding the license of the John Doe.
An exclusive right of mine has been violated by the John Doe subsequently,
and with notice of the revocation.
A license, that is not supported by an interest, is revocable in the
United States of America. An interest attaches when a licensee pays
the copyright holder for the receipt of a license, or transmits valuable
bargained-for consideration to the copyright holder. Absent such an attached
interest there exists only a revocable-at-will bare license.
Here the John Doe did neither, and does not hold an attached interest
with which to bind me to any supposed promise. Any such promise is illusory.
Additionally, the acknowledgement and assent regarding a per-existing
legal duty is not valid consideration.
The url you link to advances a false legal theory unsupported under US Jurisprudence.
In the Artifex v Hancom cited by proponents of the "GPL is a contract (and always a contract)" view much is made of this proclamation by the lower court in the 9th circuit:
>"Not so. The GNU GPL, which is attached to the complaint, provides that the Ghostscript user agrees to its terms if the user does not obtain a commercial license."
This is patently false. The GPL contains no such language, The offer to do business on the plaintiff's website (regarding the Artifex case) DOES contain such language The court conflates that language into "the GPL" in this case. The GPL, in fact, declares the the user does not have to agree to any of it's terms.
I invite you to consult this learned treatise:

The fact that you even spend this much time on trying to take back
your gift to the community instead of just accepting your
responsibility for your own actions is impressive. And unless you sign
with your legal name and your copyright notices uses your legal name
as well as details of your location then your claims have no effect at
all because it is literally impossible to even speculate that you are
the copyright holder - let alone proving it beyond any reasonable
doubt that it is the case. So if you are serious about this and not
just simulating a possible angle of attack on the GPL that somebody
else could take to illustrate a possible weakness in the GPL, then
stop hiding behind anonymity and file an actual real claim with a
court.
Should your effort succeed then it is a problem with the law and not
with the license. A license that grants certain rights to a copy of a
work provided that certain conditions outlined in the license are met
should never be revocable from THAT particular copy of the work,
unless the terms of the license itself are broken. Having the
possibility to arbitrarily revoke rights granted by a license for any
other reason than conditions that the licensee was aware of when they
accepted the license would have tremendous negative consequences and
disruptions to many areas of the society. If the law has a loophole
like that then the best thing that we all can do is ensure that it
doesn't have it anymore in the near future.

Similarly, based on the information you've provided, we are unable to locate facts which would support for your argument that any of the GPL licensed code here was granted that license without an exchange of valuable consideration. Moreover, you have not addressed other doctrines, such as reliance or promissory estoppel, which would prevent revocation even in the absence of valuable consideration.

I am going to sue your staff for contributory copyright infringement in their personal capacity, in addition to you company.
I have given you ample notice to remove the work.
> Moreover, you have not addressed other doctrines, such as reliance or promissory estoppel, which would prevent revocation even in the absence of valuable consideration.
These are equitable defenses. Not defenses-at-law. They are determined on a case by case basis. Promissory estoppel is most often "awarded" when a defendant has, on the reliance of explicit promises to him by the owner, laid out monies to purchase improvements for the affected property.
An example is when one builds extra buildings on a piece of land one was promised ownership on upon the owners death. It is much related to the old Livery of Seisin which was used in the conveyance of land and is, in fact, a modern substitute for it.
There is little relevance between such and a licensee, one of many, who, for no outlay, had permission to use a piece of software. Permission which was later revoked.

The John Doe would have to prove that there was a contract, it is not me, the copyright holder, who's duty it is to show that there was none.
One cannot prove a negative. You know this very well.
It is the consideration (payment) that would create a contract which a licensee could attempt to rely upon.
Where there is no such consideration there is no contract.
Here the John Doe admitted that he simply downloaded the work and also admitted that there was no contract between him and I
"Thank God", he added.
This is attested to in the original complaint, the John Doe is quoted, and his testimony is linked.
However it is not my duty to prove to you that there is _not_ any consideration.
That is proving a negative. It is a duty of the John Doe's defense to prove that there is such a payment, which there is not.
I was never paid by the John Doe.
You are being completely disingenuous here. You think you are clever, but you will be sorry once my legal bill is being paid out of your personal expenses for your blatant copyright infringement of my work. The courts won't think you're "cute" or "clever".
I have addressed your claim that my signature was invalid. Your understanding of what is required of a signature and the purpose of a signature is incorrect. A signature simply shows assent of the party to the validity of the document. An X is sufficient. Here I have chosen to use my long-held pen name, MikeeUSA. I have also published these notices at the place of the publication of the work, to give further confirmation.

That is so: if you paid for those terms. If you paid nothing you get nothing. The linux kernel contributors did not GIVE anything away, they allowed USE of a thing THEY own. If they wanted to GIVE their property away they could have done so by _TRANSFERRING_ it to a non profit such as the FSF, or declaring it the domain of the public. They chose to do neither.
>Having the possibility to arbitrarily revoke rights granted by a license for any other reason than conditions that the licensee was aware of when they accepted the license
There was no acceptance required. YOU are not allowed to use the owners property WITHOUT his permission, YOU do not have the right to "accept or reject" his dictats regarding his PROPERTY. You must OBEY the owner's demands regarding HIS property. There is no contract, terms, negotiation here.
YOU give nothing, YOU get nothing.

How is YOU not getting something for free harming "society"? It's how society functions. You must pay Society (Women) your whole life for a little taste, and then they send you to prison or the poorhouse once they're done with you.
>If the law has a loophole
This is not a loop hole. It is a basic function of US contracting and licensing law. Just because you don't like that a gratis non-exclusive license that you have benefited under while also trying to use to convert the Author's property whilst kicking him to the curb, is revocable by that Author, doesn't mean there is some "loophole" here. It works as designed: the Copyright owner is a property owner and can decide how his property is to be used. If you want a non-revocable-outside-the-terms license you must contract for one and pay the author good consideration.
>like that then the best thing that we all can do is ensure that it doesn't have it anymore in the near future.

Remember: the only thing that "prevents" a licensor from "going back on his word" is if the licensee has an interest in the property.
An interest is created when the licensee pays the licensor for permission to use the property, or in other cases when the licensor induces the licensee to make payments to third parties for the improvement of real property (land) in reliance on the licensor (this is usually in a inheritance case: estate disputes licensor's dispensations to licensee).
Here the licensee paid the licensor nothing. If there was a "promise not to revoke" (which there isn't even in the GPL2), it is inoperative without the licensee "buying" that "right".
Linux licensing operates under the same principals.

>License revocation: Some CLA advocates warn of the prospect that a contributor may someday attempt to revoke a past license grant. To the extent that the concern is about largely judgment-proof individual contributors with no corporate affiliation, it is not clear why an Apache-style CLA provides more meaningful protection against this outcome compared to the use of an open source license. And, as with so many of the legal risks raised in discussions of open source legal policy, this appears to be a phantom risk. I have heard of only a few purported attempts at license revocation over the years, all of which were resolved quickly when the contributor backed down in the face of community pressure.
Notice how they hand-wave it.

You can revoke your contribution to open source commmunities in some countries since you didn't make any contractions with money. If you got money for that, you can't revoke it wherever you live.

In the case of being paid, but not transferring the copyright, you would fail if you tried to revoke from the licensee who paid you. You may succeed in revoking from licensees who did not pay you however, even if one licensee paid you. The one (or handful) that paid have actually paid for the licensing terms so they can rely on them.

The notice is valid. It is signed by me, and any reasonable person would understand that. The court uses a reasonable person standard. Pseudo anonymity is no problem for the law and is fine in the DMCA context. Signatures do not have to be your legal name.

Nope, the license has been revoked from you. You do not own my code, it is my property. I have chosen to revoke the permission I had given, from you specifically. That file is not the license. It is a written memorandum of the license. The license itself is /permission/ given by me to others.
The written memorandum is not "the" license. A license is an idea, it is permission, not a piece of paper.
Just as a contract is an agreement, not a piece of paper. If you have a canceled contract, waving around the memorandum does you no good.
I have rescinded, canceled, ended your permission.
Since you never payed anything for the permission, you have no secured interest in the license.

A case in point: Tiffany (Of “I Think We’re Alone Now” Fame).

code:
C

E
Name: Tiffany
Birth Date: October 2, 1971
Time of First Record Signing: 1984
Age at Time of First Record Signing: 13
Remeber the old pop hit from the 80s “I Think We’re Alone Now” which was sung by Tiffany, a 16 year old girl in the year 1987.
quote:
Q
U
O
T
E I Think We’re Alone Now (Alone Now) (ClapClap)
There doesn’t seem to be anyone around
I Think We’re Alone Now (Alone Now) (ClapClap)
The beating of our hearts is the only sound.
Ever wonder what happened to her?
Well she got married in 1992 at the age of 21, had a child, posed nude in playboy at the age of 30, divorced her husband in the year 2004 (at the age of 33), and then married another man.
Basically what happened is that she has lived the normal whorish life that most of our women live today.
What once was a promising young girl of value has become a debauchered hussie.
Why?
Because of two things:
Her mother.
Herself.
Tiffany was allowed to start her musical career at age 13 (or encouraged to by a parent with dollar signs in her eyes). She gained fame, fortune, and ultimately emancipation that comes from fortune and a society and country that supports women having and holding power.
The problem is that Tiffany and Tiffany’s mother were allowed to make their own decisions and, as usual, made terrible decisions lathered in whorish immorality, avarice, and greed with NO regard for what they were stealing from the domain Men.
What they stole is yet another good wife who would serve and bring happiness to one of our fellow Men.
Instead of being signed to a record contract at 13, the girl should have been married off to a Man and be allowed to serve him and make him happy as a girl will naturally do at that age if unmolested by a mandatory pro-women’s rights anti-man brainwashing regime. Tiffany could have used her voice to sing to her husband who would have loved her more by himself then the entirity of the world combined will love her now or at anytime.
Instead of being able to follow the path that God has put forth for girls of marrying a Man (for Life) once she is able to have children (which usually is somewhere between the ages of 12 years old to 14 years old), this girl was instead put on the path of making money for her mother and then released to the whoredom that almost always inevitibly follows in the case of a completely emancipated female.
A girl ‘on her own’ is a theft committed against all Men of this world.
It is both against God’s law of the Bible and against all that is benificial for Men.
Unfortunatly we can yet do nothing to stop the further use of girls for the enjoyment of the mother rather then for bestowing Happiness upon a Man as God intended.
If you listen to her popular song it’s about love. It’s a pitty that while she was singing of it was kept from it. It is even more of a crime that countless numbers of Men have been denyed the true love that stems from marrying young females of childbearing age because our Feminist System denys Men all that is good, and brainwashes girls to believe in all that is Bad.
“I think we’re alone now”
Yes Tiffany, we are alone. Those who would be our compainions have been robbed from us from a young age by the schools and the media: both who support women’s rights and deny Men’s Liberty.

A non-exclusive license is not a gift. It is not a transfer of ownership, nor of interest. It is simply permission.
It seems that the only way you will accept the reality of license-rescission is by the physical destruction of the license memorandum.
The license is an idea however. If it were on a piece of paper perhaps you would accept the burning of the paper. It does not however, it exists in your mind.
So the proper course of action will be to burn you alive. Then you will know that the license has been rescinded. This is the correct course of action.

If someone is making forks, but is not the person(s) from which the license was rescinded, what are they proving? I didn't rescind from all the world, just a handful of people... (but now github itself aswell, but that's a new development)

>As of 7 March 2011, using then-current LOC (lines of code) of a 2.6.x Linux kernel and wage numbers with David A.

I just want to point out that when you buy a commercial license for software typically it will contain a section regarding revocation of the license.
The company my revoke your paid license under those terms.
If they choose to revoke but those paid-for terms and conditions are not met you may then sue for breach of contract.
However if the same company gifts you a license, they can revoke regardless of the terms to no penalty.
If you purchase a GPL-v3 license from a vendor, the no-revocation clause is operative, if the vendor then revokes you may sue for breach of contract.
However if you are a cheap piece of shit and choose to go with "free" beer appoach, the GPL-v3 no-revocation clause is not operable and you do not have a breach of contract recovery.
That is: the guys who buy RMS's magnetic tapes of Emacs get the benefit of the no-revocation clause. The guys that download it off wherever do not.

You can wipe your ass with those conditions as they are illegal (at least in every jurisdiction that has consumer protection laws).
▶ No.1058551
>>1058448
Nope, you are wrong.
It's very hit-and-miss.
_very_ hit and miss.
Some jurisdictions rule that if you paid for the software you "own" the copy like you might own any other thing you purchased (but ofcourse not distribution rights etc). Others play close to the terms. Others ask "what was the power imbalance between the parties to the contract" etc.
It's really a patchwork.
But the fundamental issue is : you paid for these terms, or this consumer good - therefor it can't be removed outside of those terms.
It wasn't always the case, and isn't always the case when it comes to two commercial / non-consumer entities. In the consumer realm the license is treated abit more like a good than simply an agreement. When dealing with learned entities it's treated like a contract.
Now with no outlay of monies, it's just permission either way. An exchange is fundamental to enforcement on the taker's side.
If they didn't give anything. They do not get anything.
Complain all you want.
Consumer protections are for those who have purchased a good or service, not for freeloaders. Contractual protections are for those who have purchased terms, not for freeloaders.

Notice how they have verification now. To discourage discussion specifically of this. They have no counter to the arguments here because it is correct, and more people are starting to understand that.

Free Licenses are revocable by the Copyright holder.
A defense against license revocation is the existence of a contractual relationship between the copyright-owner and the licensee.
However, where no such relationship exists, no such protection is apparent.
Obeying a preexisting legal duty (such as to not commit copyright infringement by using/modifying/etc a work without permission) is insufficient to create a contract.
Illusory promises are not binding upon the grantor.
For those who have chosen to not pay the Grantor of a "G" "P" "L" (GPL) license, the license can be revocated at the will of the copyright owner.
""retroactively""
Remeber: non-exclusive licenses do not transfer any rights. Only permissions (license), which can be revoked, and without a contractual agreement such revocations do not give rise to damages against the Copyright owner.
Nothing gets you nothing.

Regarding threats to "CoC" you. - You do have recourse - license rescission
Dear Poul-Henning "UNIX guru at large" Kamp;
Many have noticed threats made against you recently to seek your
ejectment from the FreeBSD project as retaliation for statements
you made protesting the ceaseless and ever on-going slaughter of
innocents; A transparent attempt to censor your political speech,
if there ever was one.
I am forwarding this message below to you because if such is
attempted, you do have recourse: and that is the rescind the
gratis license you have granted regarding the use of your works of
authorship. You may rescind these grantsfrom your attackers, those
who fail to defend your right to free speech, from the project
itself, or from all free-takers (if such is your wish).
Remeber: A non-exclusive license grant is not a transfer of
copyright, and such a license absent bargained-for consideration
is just that: a license (permission); it is not a contract and does not
bind the /grantor/ to any terms. It can be revocated at
any time, for any or no reason.
This applies to all the "classic" free licenses, from the MIT
license, to the BSD license, to the GPL.
