People can share differing opinions without immediately being on the reverse side. Avoid looking at things as black and white. You can like both waffles and pancakes, just like you can hate both waffles and pancakes.

been trying to lower my social presence on services as of late, may go inactive randomly as a result.

  • From what I understand, those are not mutually exclusive clauses in this case. On first glance it seems trademark usage is defined as using it to your own power for your own purposes. Simply supplying the trademark as a form of attribution such as on a footer, attribution page or header isn’t generally trademark usage since it’s a requirement of the license itself.

    What would be considered usage would be if they went a step further and claimed ownership or that they had control over said project. The easiest way of violating this seems to be if you do not supply your own branding at the same time, so their marking is the only marking on the page, this would deceive people into thinking you are the project, which would be in violation of trademark usage.

    This is just what I found at first glance though, IANAL



  • I agree but, thats sort of the point. The first alternative is a lot of money that takes a bunch of time to setup, just for the city to very cheaply and quickly reverse it. They had already /tried/ that approach and the city said no, doing it themselves was just a bad plan to begin with.

    The city at the moment is out maybe 20 minutes to take the sign down, and then can go back to sticking their head in the sand.

    A damaged road? can take weeks to months to fix, and requires a dedicated crew and equipment, all while forcing vehicles to slow down due to it, while using tools that are likely just laying about the garage. Don’t take me wrong, both methods are super illegal, but, one is morally bad, cheap and hard to fix, where one is morally good, expensive, time consuming and easily fixed.

    Our local playground has no traffic signs (aside from a playground sign) and a very faded crosswalk, but everyone knows to slow way down before reaching it because if they don’t the potholes(winter kills the roads) will make them regret it.

    The town “fixes” it every few years or so.
