    When you include open source code in another project, you are not "relicensing" it - you still have to comply with the original license too, as well as the license of the new work.

    Never say you are relicensing when you are not the copyright holder as that term can lead you to assumptions and actions that could leave you in breach of copyright.

    It has been a long road since 2013 when and Constanze Kurz took the UK to the ECHR over the revelations: Donations from across Europe paid for us to go the ECHR.

    Populism means crushing those who disagree with you about what is popular.

    This is just utterly staggering: Trump's Department of Commerce operated a Stasi department which collected information on Americans who criticised the US census (which you'll recall he wanted to turn into a tool for ethnic cleansing).

    Post Investigation: Trump’s Commerce Department identified and examined Americans who criticized the administration on social media.

    I think if Brexit politics erodes food standards I'll need to switch to organic-only foods.

    Multidrug-resistant bacteria is significantly less common in organic meat, new study finds.

    Does Romania have a special connection to Belarus? Or is there some other explanation for this lack of concern that an EU internal flight was hijacked by state-sponsored terrorists?

    The flight took off just now from Minsk bound for Vilnius. Great news for everyone especially the families and friends of people onboard.
