It took a while, but courts, quite rightly so, rejected the applications.
It does however open up an interesting discussion on who own what whn we, mere mortals, don’t really understand how an A.I. neural network comes to it’s conclusions…
What did I tell you about accepting candy from strangers?
Using frameworks and templates are the way most software is written today but in that lies the danger of dependency on unknown and therefore unchecked sources of code.
Where in theory, one would expect all software projects exerciser due diligence when it comes to these “borrowed” libraries. But in practice, it turns out that this isn’t actually 100% possible to do when those upstream sources can change their code at any given time…
How much regression and unit testing should a software project do?
Sure, of all organizations, the army has “the magic”
