It is a project created by a degenerate troon with the purposr to be an alternative to XLibre.
Why, pray, does the tranny want an alternative to XLibre?
1, because there was so much pushback on the "I will tranny COC anyone importing XLibre" and then tranny got sad because people pushed back on the plan to destroy XLibre.
2, because now "you do not need XLibre since Wayback is much better" and this is merely a vehicle to distract from XLibre and kill it.

Second, by now people should know better than depend on software developed by a troon. The troon is easily distracted and can only focus on a project in the moment. Eventually, usually sooner than later, something will happen and the troon will rage-quit due to some imagined slight and the project is dead.
Never use or depend on projects managed by a troon. The projects will never have longevity and will be sabotaged and abandoned without warning.

Hey, at least you know that the real American Redoubt (without) illegals is the isn't Northern Idaho, it's Western Montana out to the shithole of MN.

I'm now a little concerned that I had absolutely no trouble understanding the story about the S2 Underground DMCA claim.

Maybe the real autism was inside me all along.

I also had no trouble understanding the story but I'm not sure where the ham radio bit came into the story. Was that just some added colour about the guy making the maps that doesn't really have any bearing on the story?

Yes, it likely is false. You can't copyright facts like names and addresses as they aren't "creative" works subject to copyright law.

I'm pretty sure that's just false. For example, map makers sometimes used to put one or two fake streets on their map to know if their work was being stolen. If they found another map with Sneed Street, they would know who to sue.

I think they're saying that the actual data he populated the map with was originally aggregated by the pro-immigrant NGO, and they don't want chuds using it. Aggregating and formatting data is copyrightable. I think the question is whether parsing it into one of these handy dashboards is transformative.

Sure, maps meet the minimum bar. But, for instance a phone book with names and addresses and phone numbers can't be photocopied but could be re-compiled into a new phonebook.


Basically, aggregating data is not copyrightable, but formatting it is, strip the format and you're likely in the clear.

Sadly as this case points out it doesn't much matter unless you can survive a court battle.
 
That's interesting because in this day and age, the formatting is the easiest part. The hard part is getting all that data into one place. I could just e.g. scrape Google Maps for a graph of streets that are connected to each other, make my own map, and they can't do shit about it? Or if I paid for access to a Bloomberg terminal, scraped all information I could out of it, and turned around to sell it for $100 a month, that's also fine?

you forgot #3
develop it for a couple months, have it pushed everywhere because :) friendly COC :) then abandon it once sufficient damage was done to xlibre - after directing users back to wayland of course
