Ok so why keep calling it "truly open" then? It's an obvious lie and nobody is forcing you to say it. It benefits your marketing, sure, but it harms everyone else by diluting the meaning of the term "open". So stop doing that please.
Hi, your "truly open" model is "gated" on Huggingface, restricting downloads unless we agree to "hold you harmless" and share our contact info. Can you fix this please, either by removing the restriction, or removing the "truly open" claim?
I'm not trying to become an international lawyer. The thread mentioned terra nullius, so I'm just pointing out what that definition says and what are the real-world examples, where these lands are clearly mentioned. Not sure why somebody gets so triggered by it. Let me point out that these two countries don't just "disagree which one of them owns it", they both say "we don't own it", which makes all the difference. Maybe someone with more knowledge can explain whether Croatia's constitution can say "this land belongs to Serbia", I personally don't see how that would be possible.
I expected this comment. The same wikipedia page also says:
> There are currently three territories sometimes claimed to be terra nullius: Bir Tawil (a strip of land between Egypt and Sudan), *four pockets of land near the Danube due to the Croatia–Serbia border dispute*, and parts of Antarctica, principally Marie Byrd Land.
> Wikipedia: In international law, terra nullius is territory which belongs to no state. Sovereignty over territory which is terra nullius can be acquired by any state by occupation.
that sounds to me exactly like a third party coming and going "well if nobody wants it..."
Of course, in reality it's always about whether or not you can defend your territory with military power. And it doesn't even need to be unclaimed.
Which competitor do you have in mind? Users cannot install Android on Apple devices and vice versa, your app repository is decided at the moment you buy the device, and I don't see any other competing Play Store. Not to mention - have you ever tried to disable Google Play Services in your Android phone?
