kurotek··on Why OpenHeatMap is banned from Github
The copyright claim seems unsupportable in the first place. As far as I understand, a simple list of things that fit in a category does not meet the minimum originality requirement. See: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_v._Rural

It also seems like it would be trivially easy to compile a similar list from linkedin.

kurotek··on Do What the Fuck You Want to Public License
Exactly. I think of legalese as a computer language. Publishing your software globally means that your license document will be run through many sepatate jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction is akin to a unique runtime interpreter.

I prefer to stick with idiomatic legalese to avoid running into interpreter specific bugs :-)
