Remember this ancient SN article from Oct 26:
Trump Given 30 Days for Social Media Site to Comply with Open Source License

In it, we learn't:
Trump Given 30 Days for Social Media Site to Comply with Open Source License

In a nutshell, the open source Mastodon project gave Trump 30 days to comply with open source license.

Mastodon issues 30-day ultimatum to Trump’s social network over misuse of its code

"In a post to the Mastodon blog, founder and CEO Eugen Rochko explained that the problem is not simply that Truth Social uses Mastodon, but that it does so while claiming ownership over the site’s code"

I think the next step would be for Mastodon to give Trump another 30 days, order them to comply, and add the words: "or else!". Surely Trump would then comply with the open source license.

UPDATE:

    Nothing Donald can do will convince conservatives that he is a terrible human being.

    One would think that brazenly violating open source licenses might get some traction on a site like this.

    Trump Worshipers will obey and believe anything their God Emperor King and Savior Trump tells them.

    • It's safer to inject bleach than vaccine.
    • Trump won the election.
    • They should stop Biden's certification on Jan 6 -- what could possibly go wrong?
    • TRUTH Social will tell only the truth, just like Fox News, OAN and Noosemax

    Speaking of TRUTH Social, you know it won't have any censorship because it will only have the TRUTH by not allowing any facts or reality on the site.

    Just like how TRUTH Social owns all of the Mastodon code. On a site like SN, the previous sentence won't phase Trump True Believerstm one bit. Not even one tenth of a cycle out of phase.
