In US, it's sadly not as clear cut

It would be a real shame if something bad were to happen to it.
Fair. Competition is also good.
They already tried that and got roasted for it. Oh well, time for round two
Firefox is available for Android. You can install add-ons, like UBlock, just as you would on desktop
The problem, from what I understand, is that the fees apply retroactive. So your 2018 Unity game will now have to start paying
Please don't give them ideas
Hey boss Unreal is eating some of our market shares, what should we do?
Boss: Isn't obvious, we drive the company off the cliff. Duh
God executives are the dumbest mother fuckers
Honestly, I wish our governments would pump money and resources into open source operating systems
They do. The US NSA being of note with SE Linux.
It doesn't mean the Linux developers have to allow them to break the license agreement
Yes. Completely agree. The problem is, from my reading, is that Nvidia violated GPL by calling GPL functions as opposed to code stealing. The problem with GPL is that it forces everything to be GPL or you're in violation of the license. Link a GPL library, your code now has to be GPL. Called a GPL function, congratulations, your code has to be GPL. This critical fault in GPL has been brought up time and time again. Thankfully this issue is infrequently enforced. But that just means it becomes a ticking time bomb.
Let me be clear, I'm not defending Nvidia's actions. Just that in the blame game, GNU's toxic attitude should be called out
Please, hold all your "switch to Linux" comments
Linux is not as great a replacement as every one makes out to be. The community is hella toxic. Frequently leads to them shooting them selves in the foot. Right now they're trying to pick a fight with Nvidia because they dared to call Linux's sacred GPL syscalls
United Methodists are no longer cool. They voted against gay marriage. And yes, to be fair, a good number of local congregations were pissed
