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.

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

    We've lost interest in the bourgeoisie and their incessant weeping

    Yes. It is quite well known Republicans do not care about the middle class nor their struggles.

          So why aren't you opposing them? Professional courtesy?
