@dwarf@borg.social Do it, some people are up to no good and I want to spare them the effort

Yo, @dwarf@borg.social, mind infodumping how buying a camera and gear went?

@niconiconi@mk.absturztau.be @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com Note that you also need to take account international private law. It's possible that in some jurisdictions, the actual coming-into-existence of the copyright on the code is subject to US rules and it may thus be public domain (due to missing the copyright notice), whereas in others, it may be subject to domestic rules (where perhaps the rules of "you wrote it, you own it" always applied).

I can conceivably imagine a situation where some Ancient UNIX versions' copyrights are enforceable only in certain countries, which honestly amuses me a bit, but I'd need to research this in detail to be absolutely sure. I'm kind of surprised that nobody wrote anything about that yet though.

@niconiconi@mk.absturztau.be @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com The technical copyright holders don't even care. Novell was acquired by and merged into Attachmate, itself acquired by and merged into Micro Focus, itself acquired by OpenText. People have repeatedly tried to get any kind of reaction from Micro Focus about the UNIX copyright situation, be it by e-mail, their forums or bloody registered mail. The best you could get was "Did you mean SUSE?" before they got rid of SUSE. There definitely are sleeping dogs in this general area.
