  • Faszinierend, dass Diggah es scheinbal wieder in die Jugendsprache geschafft hat. Das hat man damals in meiner Jugend schon benutzt, bei uns zumindest zurückzuführen auf Fünf Sterne Deluxe und Absolute Beginners.

    Als Metalhead musste ich mich damals natürlich entschieden davon abgrenzen! :P



  • Du kannst immerhin den Hausarzt wechseln!

    Bei uns in der Region heißt es immer nur „sorry, wir nehmen keine neuen Patienten mehr“, und so bin ich seit 10 Jahren bei einem, der homöopathische Eigenblut-Therapie, Bio-Resonanz und so ein Zeug verkauft. 🤬










  • 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 ;)



  • 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.

    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.
