  • For a lot of people for a long time your insurance card (that didn't have a photo) was the only "identification" you had. Otherwise you had to bring your school ID, work ID etc.

    Most people don't have drivers licenses cause they take the train. When you sign up for banks etc you usually have to get a bunch of official documentation from the local ward office with your information.

    Proof of identity in Japan has always been a bit of a hazy problem. You sign most documents still with a family stamp, so the idea of what legally is defined as identifying is kind of vague.

    Most local offices aren't networked up, so when you move you have to register with your local ward office and the japanese beauricratic army goes and gets the previous ward office to fax over your info.

    "My Number" is the japanese governments attempt to get all that stuff wired together in one database.

  • You can't, if the code is open source it can be cloned to not fit in the license no matter what kind of license or fancy shenanigans you do.

    The argument most MIT/BSL proponents have is that companies will be more likely to directly contribute if the project doesn't have GPL "poisoning".

    I usually split the difference and license LGPL for everything.

  • the GPL v2 doesn't have any less restrictions around strong copyleft (requiring that a company publish changes for components).

    Maybe you're thinking of the fact that GPL requirements don't cross the kernel module syscall boundary?

  • Even if you assume human nature is greed, it's also human nature to have their babies eaten by wolves but I don't see anyone suggesting we should center our society on baby tossin' wolf pits.
