Possible answers: Maybe because the Apache Software Foundation spent over two years debating a feather versus a leaf? see https://www.theregister.com/2023/01/11/native_american_apach... Or because the Open Source Initiative wasted over a year debating election rules? https://lwn.net/Articles/1056376/ Or because the Document Foundation has been locked into a fight with its own members? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47157999 Looks like a pattern, doesn't it?



Added. Thanks!

Afaik AWS re-implemented a subset of the mongodb API in DocumentDB, didn't use Mongodb code. The agpl was never an issue for AWS.

Yeah, but if you hire a fascist and you know they're a fascist in a company where the majority of your workers is not a fascist, you're going to have problems. Even if you discover after hiring them that they're fascist you'll have unhappy workers. You'll find a way to fire that fascist or lose the rest of the company.


Ex-Felons have paid their debt to society, or at least get should be considered as such. And still, it's harder for them to get jobs.


They absolutely have not “paid their debt to society” unless they can undo the felony. You can’t pay back the debt of raping someone or stabbing them or killing them. Even if they let you out of jail.


Then why do we let them out of prison at all? It's certainly safer for us law abiding citizens if all the criminals are locked up forever. Even if there are a few false positives.


Even accepting your logic, not every felony involves stabbing or rape.

Excluding all felons from future employment would be a great way to create more crime.


By that logic, anyone who is proven then to be involved willingly or not in the false accusation and wrongful imprisonment of anyone should be punished by the harshest means physically possible. Absolutely no mercy.


Willfully? Absolutely. I think willfully trying to get someone convicted of a crime should carry 3x the punishment of that crime. It’s the deliberate misuse of state power to pervert the course of justice.


No forgiveness for Martha Stewart!


Not necessarily work for a ngo, but volunteer for one, join a union, join the local political groups that actually make a difference locally in your community. So many options, besides the work place.


I think it's a legitimate question: we all have a large chunk of savings stuck in this game because of perverse incentives set by corrupt/inept US gov. Now what?

Europe, most likely... You know, those socialist countries where there is still a middle class.
