Would a fork be technically viable if Americans and American businesses can’t participate (because the fork works with SDN entities)? Maybe.

The reality is that the Linux Foundation is in the United States, and Linus is a naturalized US citizen who lives in Oregon (at least on Wikipedia). So they both will have to pay attention to avoid transacting business with individuals and companies on the SDN list. That is the law in the United States.

Yep. Linux is a total pain in the behind to write applications for, because of API and ABI instability. Just ask notable Linux desktop application developer Linus Torvalds.

I dunno. I was mostly just trying to explain why the federal government might care about video game pricing at all.

If only there was some way to regulate corporations.

It’s called the Sherman Antitrust Act, and it’s why this promise was made and why the FTC cares about it now.

For example, synaptic is a long running front end for apt that has the buttons for update and upgrade.

My understanding is that the second Distance campaign is mostly recycled Nitronic Rush levels.

Dude, all the work is in the maps, and they generally sell them proportional to the amount of map content. There are two benefits:

1. Studio doesn’t have to staff up to do all the content at once, but they still get paid periodically for what they do produce. This keeps the staff employed longer in a more stable position.

2. You can pick and choose which areas you want to get. If you want a big bundle, those still show up on Steam too at various levels of discount. But you’re not locked into having to deal with Ohio too.

Especially talk to FSF if this “well known debugging tool” is a part of the GNU project, as FSF has the power and standing to enforce the copyrights on GNU software.

Stellaris on Steam has a fully-native Linux executable.

Except even Gentoo does binaries now (more than they used to).
