"@COPYLEFT ALL WRONGS RESERVED" *

* Tiny BASIC's distribution notice, June 1976 ( 1 ) It's a second post about licenses and rights and the second post started from a bit of history: the old pirate song, the old distribution notice... It was a new word for me - "copyleft" and it was very interesting first to dig out it's history. It was born as a joke, controversy to "copyright, all rights reserved" in early 1976, before the concept itself. Well, that's all, that was interesting for me. I am aside of this wordings of law and I don't like to swim in this poll. When I was younger, I thought that there are bad things and good things in the world, but in fact there is nothing purely good or purely bad, only gradations... So the concept of copyleft was developed as a good thing to give the right to people to use freedoms of use, study, copy, modify and share with others, but under the same terms, license as the original. So the freeware should stay free, even if y...

Ethics

Beside the IT, I like to travel, especially when I am the commander and the driver. At least once per year we travel somewhere. Usually the route is well planned by my wife, but the COVID broke the rules and traditions. So this summer the first plan was to take a car and travel around the Baltic States without any special destinations. Then, we decided to change direction to South West and travel to Poland or Chech Republic if they will be opened. 1st day. 1009 km. Tallinn, EE - Warsaw, PL. The situation in the world makes a lot of disadvantages, but also give us some benefits, and when me, my wife and two our adorable daughters passed the Estonia-Latvia border, I said to all: "Look, the route to Italy is open this week, it is our opportunity to visit famous places of Italy and see them without all the crowd around. Maybe we'll never have such opportunity anymore. Two young pasta and pizza lovers agreed without doubt, while our fear to be blocked in Italy in case of new COVID ...
