  • https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/8367/is-the-term-open-source-a-trademark has a discussion about this.

    The short story is that the OSI failed to obtain a legal trademark in the US for the term “open source” (software), resulting in many opportunistic companies and individuals adopting the term popularized by the OSI (which was founded by Eric Raymond, Michael Tiemann and Bruce Perens).

    There was controversy at the time due to it being a business-friendly spin on the ideological “free software”, and I personally avoided using the term for many years as a result. Even without a trademark on the now generic term of Open Source, there is still value in the OSI brand and its stamp of approval on a license.

    Those who want to be crystal clear, should probably always say OSI Approved Open Source License.

    Now, I’m off to have a Nescafé Approved Coffee.









  • It is possible to wrap something like python into a single file, which is extracted (using standard shell tools) into a tmpdir at runtime.

    You might also consider languages that can compile to static binaries - something like nim (python like syntax), although you could also make use of nimscript. Imagine nimscript as your own extensible interpreter.

    Similarly, golang has some extensible scripting languages like https://github.com/traefik/yaegi - go has the advantage of easy cross compiling if you need to support different machine architectures.

    It’s the Y chromosome that triggers them.

    edit: alleged/unpublished … she failed some gender verification tests of IBA that disqualified her there, but met the IOC’s criteria. It is what it is. They might keep or change the eligibility rules in the future, and that will continue to be IOC’s decision, much as it is IBA’s.







  • It is pretty easy to imagine separate streams of updates that affect each other negatively.

    CrowdStrike does its own 0-day updates, Microsoft does its own 0-day updates. There is probably limited if any testing at that critical intersection.

    If Microsoft 100% controlled the release stream, otoh, there’d be a much better chance to have caught it. The responsibility would probably lie with MS in such a case.

    (edit: not saying that this is what happened, hence the conditionals)
