You can host through Microsoft, using a service called Minecraft Realms, but the license agreement also entitles you to host your own server using whatever infrastructure you like, with certain restrictions on content and monetization (most notably, you aren’t supposed to include things like gambling and lootboxes using real-world money or MTX currency that can be purchased with real money).

I’m all for piracy, but hosting your own Minecraft server isn’t even piracy, it’s explicitly allowed!

They use a modified version of the AGPL that includes a requirement to use their logo.

They also, in a separate subsection, note that no permission is granted to use their trademarks.

As far as I can tell, the goal is to create a catch-22 that prevents you from forking the project: if you don’t include the logo, they complain that you didn’t include it, and if you include the logo they complain that you’re infringing their trademark.

Edit: Or more specifically, OnlyOffice’s position is that the logo requirement is not a modification because they think it’s an attribution requirement allowed under section 7(b).

Kids these days and their Tiktoks. When I was a kid, I was microwaving toys all on my own, just for the love of the game!

I think just to emphasize that she is the one making the claims. If her parents remember this story differently and want to sue them for libel, they can say “oh we didn’t say you forced her, we said that SHE said you forced her.”

Wait did I misunderstand what bikeshedding is? I thought it was the phenomenon where people who have input on project management, but not the skills/background/inclination to wrestle with the hard parts of the project, tend to focus on peripheral issues that they understand better. So, for example, a committee that is supposed to be planning a new hospital spends meeting after meeting arguing about the particulars of the construction of the bike shed, but just rubber stamps the first suggestion they get regarding OR floor plans or whatever, because the committee members can all understand bike sheds but most of them don’t use operating rooms.

If the problem is that you’re thinking of buying a new laptop, it doesn’t seem like bikeshedding to spend time thinking about what kind of laptop you’d like.
