I like Yamamoto, but as a Yankee fan, I'm happy we lost out. 12 years is long time for an unproven player in the mlb. Plus he's 5'9". Small pitchers usually don't last long in the league.

To say It's been a long time is an understatement. But at least there's an end in site.
I tried to like elementary and used for it for months awhile ago. But it was missing so many basic features for an OS. Eg, they only just added bulk rename to the file manager.
I tend to agree with the judge's assessment. He must make a decision based on existing law and the plaintiff's claim/argument. You're right existing law doesn't cover this aspect of technology which is why there needs to be new laws enacted by Congress. And the courts are put in a no win situation here because we've failed to establish new rules and regulations for this new technology.
The plaintiff's claim of derivative work doesn't fit here because of what has already been long established what a derivative work looks like. AI generated images aren't really derivative works.
I think rightfully, the court has told them to try again, which is ok.
the thing is, blender wasn't always open source. And they wouldn't have been this successful if they were still closed.
It sucks, but this sub now may have to consider changing it's name to workreform because of this. Plus workreform is a much better description of the movement.
