The freedoms of free software (more)

Copyleft is the legal technique of granting certain freedoms over copies of copyrighted works with the requirement that the same rights be preserved in derivative works. In this sense, freedoms refers to the use of the work for any purpose, and the ability to modify, copy, share, and redistribute the work, with or without a fee. Licenses which implement copyleft can be used to maintain copyright conditions for works ranging from computer software, to documents, art, and scientific discoveries, and similar approaches have even been applied to certain patents.[1] Copyleft software licenses are considered protective or reciprocal (in contrast with permissive free software licenses):[2] they require that information necessary for reproducing and modifying the work be made available to recipients of the software program. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft

Michael Green: Part 1: My Life Is a Lie. Markets, liquidity, factor models—none of these ever felt self-evident to me. Markets are mechanisms of price clearing. Mechanisms have parameters. Parameters distort outcomes. This is the lens through which I learned to see everything: find the parameter, find the distortion, find the opportunity. But there was one number I had somehow never interrogated. The poverty line. (more)

Michael Green: Part 2: The Door Has Opened. The wealth you’re counting on—the retirement accounts, the home equity, the “nest egg” that’s supposed to make this all worthwhile—is just as fake as the poverty line.
