It's LGPL

Naming it "Fucksya" wouldn't be the best advertisement either

That will take years to be heeded, I'm sure. Even then, it's possible some companies will provide that access only to customers from the EU (given it removes the monopoly these companies hold on their services).

One major thing for me was just sticking to three --appropriately sized-- meals a day (and perhaps a snack later in the night). Doesn't really matter what the meals are. Grazing is a substantial reason why I gained a fair amount of weight.

That and switching from sugar in my teas and coffees, and getting diet when I occasionally drink pop.

I'm lucky enough that my walk commute to work is enough exercise for me.

AGPL then. It extends the meaning of "distribute", but is still FSF/OSI-approved

The £9k a year figure is mostly smoke and mirrors though. All British citizens are eligible for a tuition "loan" that covers it. That "loan" (and the maintenance loan too) is the equivalent of a graduate tax, as it's a percentage (9% for the current lot of students) charged on income made past a certain amount (above £25,000 for this lot). The loan is wiped 30 years after graduation (this what will happen for the majority of students).

I see no reason why this wouldn't be serious. To put these comments into context, it's in preparation of the government's Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill[1] coming before the Commons. The Bill would set up an Animal Sentience Committee to scrutinise policies' effects on sentient animals. The government have brought this forward in preparation of future changes to British animal welfare legislation, now Britain has legislative independence in this area, post-EU exit. The Queen's Speech in May announced Britain would pursue "the highest standards of animal welfare", and the government said it would make Britain a "global leader" in this area[2]. As the Bill currently stands, it limits the Committee in considering only vertebrate animals (and therefore it cannot report with regards to others, including octopuses and lobsters). These MPs want to amend it to cover these other animals. Whether or not the Sentience Committee's reports are properly considered in policy is another matter.

It's "digital electronic product...found in medical settings", I'd imagine

A big reason why the Roundheads wanted to make Cromwell king was to limit his power. His status as Lord Protector was not King, and therefore had none of the constraints on power that the kingdom had evolved over the centuries.

He wasn't widely popular outside the parliamentarians, who were the ones in power. The "godly", who made up the majority of the Roundheads were reviled by a substantial portion of the British. Cromwell held the Commonwealth together, that's for sure, but the cohesion amongst the Roundheads dried up once he died.

Which is exactly what is done with Britain. News item, queue "they get what they deserve". How about the EU gets what it deserves for being a undemocratic, big bungling bureaucracy?
