But in a moment of legal discovery, it was found that “GitLab Support Bot” always owns the repository since it creates the merge commit after CI runs.
- The bot is not a person and this cannot have the rights
- Just don’t use something as fancy as that. CI for a HLP project? Wth are you doing, there aren’t even tests
You don’t have to be a person to have the rights of a person. That’s what a corporation is.
But the license mentions all of earths citizens. Corpos can’t be citizens, right? Legal terms are confusing.
Corporations provide services, and service guarantees citizenship.
I would like to know more.
Hence how Melania came to be a Citizen
“It’s not my code” “It is now!”

This is how I handle code at work, almost. Program not working? Who has the last commit on the code? You get the question!
Way to discriminate against future people on Mars.
The Musk followers? Good.
There are a few flaws.
There should be a clause forcing it to remain open source. Another clause should be that the license must not be changed. A warrenty and liability disclaimer would be also good. Otherwise a splendid license.
I would 100% use this HPL-v2 for all of my (temporary) foss projects. It’s just genius. I mean, good luck keeping track of the current owner, Nintendo lawyers.
As a Martian I feel left out.
Them dusters always complaining about something smh
Inners amirte?
What should I say??
Nah, we’re alright. I don’t think anyone has clearly defined the requirements of earth citizenship, we can assume it’s like Ireland who hand it out like candy
Share water, brother.

Luckily for you, there’s a version 2!
No fair, this is uncalled for aggression towards Triangulum Galaxy dwellers!
The secret license everyone gets while working for an enterprise. If the previous dude left, good luck changing anything.
What happen when the repository is getting forked? Goofing with the license is all haha fun till nasty lawyers get into the picture and you get all sort of liability claims
Just writing words doesn’t make it legally binding. Anyone who reads this comment owes me $1,000,000 USD.
Oh shit, what’s your PayPal?
Anyone who reads this comment owes me $1,000,000 USD and a kiss
I don’t have 2 mil, how do I get out of this? File for bankruptcy?
on a technicality, debts like this are not legally dischargable through bankruptcy
Ah, the student loan loophole

I don’t have the money, can I kiss you twice instead?
If anyone I owe money to reads this, the debt is reversed.
I’ll take the kiss though
Ofcourse its legally binding. If you include a license text with your own code on a platform that doesnt have a clause to license your code under different terms, then that license is legally valid.
But writing the license yourself without making sure that it doesnt allow for any legal loopholes is a bad idea.
You declaring a debt isn’t meaningful because you don’t have legal authority to do so.
A licence statement is describing in what way you’re granting permission for something you do have the right to control, which makes it meaningful
What the fuck are you talking about? Do you think the license being used is not legally binding? What constitutes as legally binding to you?
If you want to fork the repo then you make a commit to the original repo giving yourself rights then you make the fork and you’re golden.
I was gonna say, just make a commit changing the license to something else, like MIT?
I think this is a sort of anti-license, so I think the sort of people who use it reject copyright law.
Sounds like programmers with sovereign citizen approach
What happen when the repository is getting forked?
You get two code bases with different ownership.
That’s a very practical license, that reflects the concept as it is practiced. It’s probably the only one that doesn’t come from an ivory tower.
git commit --amendgit push --forcebut why would you want to?
So that’s the legal equivalent of the guy committing 10k changes the day before leaving the company…
A self revoking license. You can only use or distribute this software if you’ve made the last commit.

Before I block you… Who “thought” you how to talk? How retarded are they?
Imagine banning someone for giving shit to a scam bot. Massive L from the mods.
