Today I am super proud to announce that I have finally picked up the task of finishing my book titled, “HTML: A Comprehensive Guide”. I am writing the book in public and releasing it under the MIT license.
Thank you for the great feedback! This is one of the benefits of undertaking a project such as this in the open. I hear you with the <base> element. I was in two minds whether I should even include it. I am thinking now that I should, but introduce it merely for completeness and recommend not using it. I wonder if it will ever be deprecated.
This is very interesting. I agree that some of the formatting puzzled me as well. I would assume this follows some standard even when the use of said standard is uncommon. I have for example not seen 1.000,00 € used, but I thought that perhaps if you live in Germany, France, or another EU country then it is common.
I hear you, but I also do not agree entirely. For me it is two-fold.
If you intend to try and use open source as a sales vehicle or a pure marketing tool, then use the appropriate license from the start i.e. be transparent and honest.
If open source and community are truly at the heart of your organization, adopt a license that makes this clear like the Apache License, and focus on adding value through services built on top or in service of the open source piece. Also, in this scenario, you must support both the community and the open source project(s) itself not just your customers. If this is not what you have in mind, see point 1 above.
For some reason, a bunch of people in the opensource community are hanging on to ideals and clutching their pearls when faced with reality: you live in a capitalist, dog-eat-dog world where people do not share the same ideals and will happily exploit others with no qualms whatsoever
True, but again, if we want this to change and/or find a balance, we need people and organizations who actively push back and clutch their pearls as you stated. If we lie down and simply accept the status quo, it will never change and those at the top will always be dictating the terms down to everyone else.
This one has bitten me every time I have installed either Ubuntu or Lubuntu on a Mac. This post is now the one I refer to each time should I forget the three steps it takes to resolve this problem. Depending on your situation, you may only need two terminal commands and a reboot.
