Fun fact: there is also no express patent license in GPLv2. There have been lawsuits on that. I know because I was the lawyer who filed one of them. So...yeah, this problem is not hypothetical.

Don't forget the typography on the SS's IBM Hollerith punch cards, too. Scroll down, 2nd to last image. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/ibm-and-quot-death-s-cal...

From this reference: "Solipsistic and dazzled by its own swirling universe of technical possibilities, IBM was self-gripped by a special amoral corporate mantra: if it can be done, it should be done. To the blind technocrat, the means were more important than the ends."

How much this sounds like Silicon Valley today.

If it can be done someone will eventually do it. Make sure you do it first, or your enemies/competitors will do it first.

It's really just a rational survival principle.

The point was that you should be be asking whether you should be doing something in the first place

Holocaust nostalgia? I'll pass. This Teleindicadores font achieves a similar effect, looks better, and it's in the public domain. I once converted it to a web font, and used it on my website for a few years. https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/teleindicadores-1

Check out "Asc"'s comment:

"There are adblocker-blocker-blockers definition lists... if you can make sense of that. In other words, there are subscriptions (as simple as checking a box in the ad blocker options) that block the scripts that detect that someone has an ad blocker on."

Quite the arms race!

Interesting!

Notably, "Percentage of Requests Where Some Data Produced" is all 0%.

Well, everyone would be able to use YC Research's public outputs defensively as prior art.

Why isn't this the default?

Try another point of view. If this review was done outside the case, then it would very likely have to be re-done later IN the case with expert witnesses who are disclosed to the other side through the formal discovery process. It's not crazy to want to avoid duplicating that cost. Also, they can challenge Shred's expert in court if they don't like who you pick.

And...I saw the court filings...you have a lawyer...stop talking to randos on HN for advice. :)
