Pocketbook makes nice e readers too! Issue then is mostly with getting books, especially non-drm ones

Oh god, I never considered that .* could theoretically match ... Thanks fish for not doing that, more than likely saved my unknowing ass a couple of times

It’s not a matter of “him” personally. Permissive license allow for a work to be taken and redistributed by other entities, without enforcing them to release their changes. This creates a one way relationship that is generally detrimental to the open source ecosystem, allowing work to be stolen away from the public. That being said, choosing a license is situational, and a permissive one can be a great choice in certain instances. For that particular case, I don’t see much benefit to having a permissive licence.

I believe it does. Weakly reciprocal license like LGPL is not equivalent as a permissive license like Apache. I see two main things on the top of my head:

1. This ensure that no one can license wash ffmpg and e.g. use rockchip’s repo to distribute their own private product based on ffmpeg without publishing their changes
2. It ensures proper attribution of the work, which can have an impact on the developer’s careers and ffmpeg as a whole.

On top of this, it really should not be complicated to license this code properly (unless rockchip wants to allow point 1, which is illegal)

Turns out that this is common in Japan for tea fields. They mount big fans on poles all accross the field for it (you provably have to zoom in to see them)
