    twit.tv/twil417 seems to be mostly Cambridge Analytica and a little bit about that Tesla death. I'm guessing next week will be all about this Oracle v Google decision.

  I’m not sure where I stand on this. Google used copyleft material and re-published it without copyleft, so this provides protection to free software. It could however also forbid making free replacements for proprietary tools (because it is about the API, not the implementation).
