Ha, thank you! That explains it... I've had several signups via Tor to my service, none of them confirmed, every few days... I guess they were checking if they can somehow abuse the mails.
It doesn't work that way. Attackers don't check if you are using "Omega", they check if you are vulnerable. There is simply no difference if you are hiding framework indicators here.
Well - unless there is a targeted attack _against you_. In this case the attacker will search for known vulnerabilities in Omega and maybe even try to come up with some new ones. Having source helps the attackers here, but then again, it has helped researchers fix the vulnerabilities too. So it's a mixed blessing.
This! I am quite sure that most projects, in exchange for some negligible part of Google's money, would be more than happy to offer the software under a different license. My guess is that it's the difficulty of ensuring that the new license terms are not breached (the license would need to be checked by lawyers, approved,...) that is the real deal breaker.
Not that I sympathise with Google here, they can afford to give something back to FOSS (not just when it advances their agenda).

I have used rst intensively on a project. A few years later, I would be hard pressed to write anything in ti and would need to start with a Quick Start tutorial. With all its faults, Markdown is simple enough that it can be (and is) used anywhere, so there is no danger of me forgetting its syntax (even if it wasn't much simpler to star with).
A bit off-topic - the license [0] is interesting. IIUC, if anyone who is using this code decides to sue NVidia, the grants are revoked, and they can sue back for copyright infringement?
Also, interesting that even with such "short" licences there are trivial mistakes in it (section 2.2 is missing, though it is referenced from 3.4 and 3.6 - I wonder what it was...)
Off topic: this is the same Brendan Gregg of flame charts fame [0][1]. It has solved my skin quite a few times when trying to figure out performance bottlenecks in Python apps (using pyflame[2] to capture data and FlameGraph[1] to convert it to displayable SVG).
Even electric bikes are not the solution, at least not in many parts of the world. What happens when it rains / snows? I don't know what the solution is though, maybe small electric cars, self driven, as part of public transportation service?
I am having trouble finding this news - all I see is this:

To the MIT community,
I am resigning effective immediately from my position in CSAIL at MIT. I am doing this due to pressure on MIT and me over a series of misunderstandings and mischaracterizations.

Is this somehow connected to his role as FSF president?
