well you can give them a legal contract saying essentially "I the copyright holder, give full rights to use and redistribute my ware to party X"
right
but you still hold the copyright
yeah, but you give them the right to use it unconditionally π
yes
so instead of having to say "The copyright holder, who is the one true holder of the copyright, gives this group a legal ticket to use the copyrightable material for their own benefit and redistribute it as they see fit, without having to worry about the copyright because this ticket gives them the right to use the copyright"
Its just "they gave the copyright to X"
its shorthand
Eat the ticket
absorb its legally binding powers? <:TimThink:482277772497125378>
Well you can say "i licensed my material to X"
Absorb its nutrients
The ownership is now bodily bound
I believe the licensing would refer to that instance of the copyrightable material
So like, if you'd lisence version 1
You don't have to give them the right to use version 1.01
like how you can be licensed to use Word 2003, but not be entitled to version 2013 π
Well if you develop version 1.01 yourself you may technicly hold a new copyright to the changed code anyways.
yeah, but you can then only publish the changes, not the changes + original material
a "mod" for the software so to say :p
I agree
No i think he means Linux the Operating System
Never heard of it.
<:TimThink:482277772497125378>
Linux is the kernel, there are plenty of operating systems based on it
I like popcorn
From Suse over (K)Ubuntu and Android all the way down to DSL(Damn Small Linux)
π€
i refuse to eat popcorn anymore
Are you being serious?
sadtimes
Android is based on Google.
Google isn't an operating system
Shitposting is for the other channel :^)
Itβs a ram device
Google is a spy device π
So, yes, i am serious
Wew
I mean, the Linus comment was a big enough flag
