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.

    Sounds like they are fully aware of donald's hobby of not paying his contractors. The only good thing about evil people is they tend to eat each other alive. The very bad thing about evil people is it usually takes a while for their systems to crumble and lots of innocent people get hurt in the crossfire.

    I member when criminals thought their dear leader would actually pardon their crimes after he said he would march with them but retreated to a couch with a big screen. Suckers were sent like some sort of wool covered crowd. Mind you it was pretty cold in DC this last January.
