Maybe, with all the news of black-box HDD controllers. Though people still torrent as much as they ever did; you’d think that would be the first thing to go.

Use copyleft to prevent exploitative usage of your stuff, not non-commercial clauses.

To be clear, if it was selling exceptions to a non-commercial clause, that would be non-libre culture, and I don't support that. But if it's selling exceptions to CC BY, that has no effect, and if it's selling exceptions to CC BY-SA, it has the same effect as just using CC BY.

Trisquel uses GNOME Flashback, so this makes sense (it's approximately the same DE as GNOME 2). If you used GNOME Shell, plus a Web browser with several tabs open, that would probably eat up most or all your RAM. Games aren't typically a gigantic RAM consumer.

Thanks for your suggestions! Anyhow, the CC clause is valid and i can use the song without the jamendo commercial license, though nobody really knows what this exactly is.

Doesn't seem problematic. It's just an unnecessary alternative license in this case.

i can use the song without the jamendo commercial license, though nobody really knows what this exactly is. Then it is a worthless license, since you can't safely assume any additional permissions, which is the main purpose of Copyright licenses.

The problem with most games I tried out is that they are incapable of NAT traversal. That means players either have to set up their own server, or forward their ports, neither of which is something a casual user can always simply do. I hope you've filed bugs with the games so they will

You can include the chown command to the system startup scripts that get run as root. The default runlevel is 2 and the related scripts are in /etc/rc2.d Read the README in that directory and go from there. Use one of the existing scripts as a template, or even just append the command to

Hi, the only way I can change the brightness on my HP 23 All In One is modifying the file /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight. It works great, but the thing is that I want to change it without being root or using sudo. I've successfully changed its permission and wrote a script so every
