Because it's a real word that is applied in this case.

Assembly is a skill learned through practice, much like any other language.

Under the OSIs definition of open-source, and under the definition of free software, anyone can buy your software and redistribute it to others for free. This effectively limits you to earning money only off the labor of your work, not the work itself, and makes your business model effectively useless. This is such a huge difference yet the FSF, as always, confuse people (maybe even intentionally) by saying that free software can be commercial. No, it cannot. The services you provide can be, the labor you provide can be, but the software - no.

You can remove that freedom to the user. After all, the source is available, it can still be tested for malware, but your work won't be open-source.

While we're trying to change the status quo in mathematics around the world, let's also all switch to the World Calendar and start using Base 12.

My rule of thumb is to partition my data sets, to make sure the conditional has the same result in as long a row as possible.

They can, however, still coerce you to give away your text-based password. I agree, though, that slicing one's finger off is simpler for all parties.

> the ability to synchronize a byte stream picked up mid-run, with less that one character being consumed before synchronization

Can somebody explain or link to an explanation on how UTF-8 allows for this?

I had screwed up by explicitly stating a Creative Commons license on the page, so I'm certain that it's hopeless. Fuck the Archive team, they can burn in hell. They are the epitome of lawful evil.

GNU Taler doesn't have those issues. It keeps payers anonymous, while payees not, allowing them to be taxed. Being a payment system, any currency can be attached to it, including USD and Bitcoin.

Another approach is a source-available license.

The one I'm interested in would be one, where viewing, modifying, recompiling the source is allowed, but redistribution is allowed only to those who had bought the license from all owners of the source and it's modifications. It would produce a nice "waterfall" effect.

It wouldn't be open-source nor free software, but most people don't really need limitless redistribution, and the source would be proof that said software isn't malicious.
