> Being in the public domain is not a license; rather, it means the material is not copyrighted and no license is needed. Practically speaking, though, if a work is in the public domain, it might as well have an all-permissive non-copyleft free software license. Public domain material is compatible with the GNU GPL.
USB devices cannot directly address host memory like PCIe or FireWire, but the XHCI controller does DMA to/from host memory, and most USB device controllers have some kind of DMA between USB and the device's RAM.
No, serde-wasm-bindgen implements the serde Serializer interface by calling into JS to directly construct the JS objects on the JS heap without an intermediate serialization/deserialization. You pay the cost of one or more FFI calls for every object though.
> Android Studio is unaffected because deployments performed with adb, which Android Studio uses behind the scenes to push builds to devices, is unaffected.
You could put it under a "PostgreSQL OR Apache-2.0 at your option" dual-license, so all contributors give you their code under both licenses, instead of needing to re-license later. The Rust project does this (MIT OR Apache-2.0) to get the patents clause from Apache while retaining compatibility with MIT and GPL.
That's a bad analogy. No one is complaining about Google providing Android security updates.
This is like a car manufacturer preventing the installation of all unapproved aftermarket accessories by claiming they're protecting you from a stalker installing a tracker on your car.
Nixpkgs pulls source code from places like pypi and crates.io, so verifying the integrity of those packages does help the Nix ecosystem along with everyone else.
No, compression formats are not Turing-complete. You control the code interpreting the compressed stream and allocating the memory, writing the output, etc. based on what it sees there and can simply choose to return an error after writing N bytes.
At least that sounds like it would be a more interesting story than the one where the person who quit a year ago didn't document all the places they manually installed the 2-year certificate.
