I genuinely feel for the #Firefox #mozilla legal team. #LawFedi

Folks, remember, lawyers are independent advisors (or should be). We don't make decisions - those are for management.

My guess is that lots of solid legal advice has been ignored regarding the #termsofuse update.

#cyclonealfred #qld Predicted to continue a fair ways inland.

"The company says the new terms aren’t a change in how Mozilla uses data, but are rather meant to formalize its relationship with the user, by clearly stating what users are agreeing to when they use #Firefox "

This makes little #legal sense. The existing #termsandconditions are not any less 'formal'. This is just a line trotted out by a stressed legal and PR team (individuals have my sympathy; management less so). #LawFedi

Some smugness in the fedi re #Australia ban on DeepSeek. Apparently, it's because DeepSeek is #OSS and apparently 'you can't ban OSS'.

No, OSS licenses are a creature of local law, usually copyright and/or contract. They will usually be subject to other local laws, including any content or usage ban, like the one in Aus.

It's not helpful to think of OSS licenses as 'rules' that apply everywhere in exactly the way they are drafted.
