Was, he said it a long time ago. He has said a lot of things that sounded kind of far-fetched and paranoid at the time, but which were later demonstrated to be true, so "Stallman was right" is reappraising the past statement.

Do you have permission from the publisher for an adaptation? If not, you're taking a legal risk basing it off the books.

It's based on it, it's not an adaptation.

Also, this would very well fit within fair use

It would not fit within the definition of fair use. Lack of commercial revenue isn't some escape hatch.

OTOH, if it were merely inspired by it (but not an adaptation) then there would be no copyright issues.

That does not match my understanding of fair use at all.

Quite a few places. Cable propelled transit (CPT) is the term to search for. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gondola_lift#Urban_transport

Not open source though?

Right but it is cheaper than open source products if you self-host. Most open source products in this space, including grist, are only partially open source.

[grist employee here] Grist forms are open source and were used to keep the toilets clean at FOSDEM just a few days ago https://fosstodon.org/@grist/116001932837956733

Everything you see in our standard docker image is open source. Yes, you can enable and pay for enterprise features too.

It is weird that your enterprise features are not self-hostable even if a customer pays. I understand if some features are not open source, but why make it not self-hostable? Self-hosting is a requirement for confidential data.

The enterprise features are self-hostable. Look at "your servers" on the pricing page for Grist. Individuals (and orgs with < $1 million in annual income) quality for free activation keys btw.

TeX is pronounced Teck or with a sound like in Bach or loch. Derivatives like Latex and Lualatex are similar.

I think it may be a generic word that's hard to trademark or something, as the existing scientific analysis software called Prism (https://www.graphpad.com/) doesn't seem to be trademarked; the Trademarks link at the bottom goes to this list, which doesn't include Prism: https://www.dotmatics.com/trademarks

What a bizarre thing to say! I'm guessing it's slop. Makes it hard to trust anything the article claims.
