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 😛

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

@Redneo You mean Linux Torvalds, creator of Linus Tech Tips? Everyone knows that guy.

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)

🤔

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 :^)

It’s a ram device

Google is a spy device 😉

@kontroll its made by google but its based around a linux kernel.

So, yes, i am serious

@Beemann Should I tell him?

Wew

I mean, the Linus comment was a big enough flag

😄

^^

that and hes called "konTROLL"

That is purely coincidental though.
