For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/El Chisme

Hate to break it to you but:
I used to work in software and several times we'd use something, I'd check the license and read something about how companies are required to pay for it, I'd ask a senior coworker "do we have a commercial license?" and they'd read the license and say we didn't need it because of (legal technical mumbo jumbo I didn't understand) and I, junior dev, overworked and precariously positioned, would just take their word for it. In retrospect I think what actually happens is these for profit corps spit in the face of licenses like that and will just try to get away with as much as they can because the odds of getting caught are low and who has the resources to sue them and make them pay?
The odds are low, but never 0. I'd rather not get the cuck license and not even try.
Oh for sure.
