obviously there are people who downloaded it multiple times

Its been around and on enough different platforms that most people who use it would have lost count of how many times they have downloaded it.

I currently have it installed on 4 android devices (my phone, my tablet, my sons tablet, google TV dongle), 3 windows devices (personal PC, loungeroom PC, work PC), and 1 Xbox. That's 8 installs in current use but if you factor in a history of device replacement and software updates I would easily account for hundreds of downloads.

My workplace calls it "n-jinx", we know its nonstandard but its still what is understood by the team.

I'm not in the apple ecosystem.

Do apple customers have voice messages, emails, call logs etc from my interactions with them stored on iCloud?

That was fast!

Edit: its great to see the games they highlight with the cover illustrations. They cover a variety of genres and all look like quality games with interesting design choices.

Another chapter in the Cypto Wars.

I used to spoof my address to download (import) the US version of Netscape, are people in the UK going do something similar to bypass the restriction?

Interesting to see the doom recreation. The commentary in the subtitles is fascinating.

MPL is a weak copyleft license.

If they make changes to your files then they have to share their changes to those files with a reciprocal license.

It has no impact on the licencing of the rest of their project.

I understand proprietary licenses and the business models they support, I also understand open source licenses and the business models they support.

If they they published paid binaries and free source code I would support them (morally), or if they published free binaries and free source code and ran a patreon I would support them (morally).

But to fork GPL code and hold the derived source ransom? Not cool.
