Oddbean new post about login | logout its just more of @NVK and coinkite being statist asshats and the community giving them a pass because @ODELL and the influencoors continue to endorse them
NVK has his work copied in this moment.📠 It’s tooo bizarre that he is the bad guy today 🤷🏽♂️ People trying to cancel coinkite: lol
we put the *free* in FOSS because intellectual property is a legal fiction. he has to get a fucking helmet and quit sucking statist cock to give him an advantage excuse my profanity
Djuri str8 ripped the product - that’s the fucking foul here Big fan of profanity 😆
That's not a foul In foss Competition and a free market for ideas drives Innovation NVK is leveraging state violence to restrict that market and give himself an advantage https://i.nostr.build/RJTE0fkwygON2h3U.jpg
coinkite make money from products. another company is copying coinkite products for money. Flagrant.
If the product is FOSS, then they're both legally and morally right to do so. I actually support the enforcement of Trademark, though - its not about IP but product identity. NVK is bringing an action under Trademark, if I understand him correctly. I don't expect him to be successful - IMHO the defendant is not impersonating his branding, and the similarities between the product names is only moderate. But a court will decide. Either way, he's within his rights to initiate an action under Trademark, which in Common Law predates the modern state by centuries and is not really part of IP.
Trezor make money from product Coinkite copy trezor code to make product This process is literally how Foss works and its how we got the Mark III
