Re:Light Table reaches funding goal of $200k on Sunday May 13, 2012 @06:12AM (#3966590)
I notice very careful wording in relation to the open sourcing of it. This along with the fact that they're offering licenses as a funding reward.

To what extent will this be open source?

So basically, you think we shouldn't have welfare because you're not allowed to immigrate to China.

that may be so, but the actual beggars are not at fault, and this is important. simply because someone was not born within the borders of your country does not make them any less human. This is the point. A swedish life is worth no more or less than a romanian one. Your nationalist attitude is baseless.

You happen to be born in sweden, they happen to be born in romania. If the tables were turned I'm sure you wouldn't think too highly of people with your opinion.

The toaster lets you open it, the toaster lets you modify it, it has standard screws and doesn't explicitly lock you out. It gives you no help in modifying it, but you are permitted to do so, and there are no mechanisms in place to stop you from doing it. If someone were to make a tool that lets you modify the toaster, that would not be illegal, and I highly doubt the toaster company would take issue with it.
