CLA and copyright assignment are different things. In some jurisdictions copyright assignment is impossible. That was among the clashes European FOSS contributors had with the Free Software Foundation and Richard Stallmann in the 1990s and 2000s.

MIT license already allows this, with or without CLA.
That’s why you can also take Microsoft’s MIT code and make proprietary software out of it.
No, Windows has various subsystems. This one is for Linux.
When Windows NT 3.5 launched, it came with subsystems for POSIX, OS/2, and Win32 because in the WinNT world even the Windows frameworks are a subsystem. Disclaimer: I didn’t check if in Win11 this is still the case but I guess so.

I was merely stating in simple words what Apple’s product is and that their customers respond to exactly that. You choice of words shows that a loud fraction of their user base is a cult, though.

People around the world - including in Europe - say their iPhone is preventing them from playing the videogame. English5219·5 days agoPeople buying Apple products want to be told by Apple what’s allowed. The walled garden is core to Apple’s product philosophy. It’s not like everybody was expecting Apple to be super open and inclusive with anything and then be taken by surprise from the Fortnite situation. Even before they deprecated open standards because their own tech is supposedly evolving faster and are better integrated.
People wanting to play Fortnite on phones can just get a reasonably specced Android phone and install EGS next to Play Store with just a few taps.

As you can see, you honor, the copyright information was stripped, therefore it’s fine.”

The Aston Martin is non-hybrid, the Toyota is a hybrid, for example.
To combat teams always blaming Balance of Performance for each bad result, the WEC rules ban criticizing BoP (I think the team agree in principle) but a repeated problem is that the methodology used by the ACO and FIA (the two organizations in charge) is flawed and when Kamui said that both cars had the exact same lap times, what he’s saying is that bad result wasn’t the driver’s fault or bad setup of one car but too harsh BoP.
The Hypercar BoP for this weekend was as following:
You can see that the Toyota was by far the heaviest and had the lowest max power.

She doesn’t get deported. She’s an American citizen. The hint that she is, is the fact that she could vote. Her family, who didn’t vote, bear the consequences for people like her.

The same way as many Americans claim to be Irish or Italian.
