Maybe someone can help me:

I want to use a library. It's license is MIT. But I want to use a different version of this library someone else made (JS to TS). The TS version is GPL 3 though. It should include the MIT license of the original project if I understand correctly, but it doesn't. So that's their mistake.

Do I assume correctly that if I want to use the TS version, I have to include both the original MIT license and the GPL license?

»Choose an open source license:
An open source license protects contributors and users. Businesses and savvy developers won’t touch a project without this protection.«

Which licenses do you use in what connection and which can also make sense economically? I ask because I have no explanation if I am asked.

It is GPLv2 or do I need permission/authorisation from Arm Technology (China) Co., Ltd. to even look at this file?

“On February 27, 2025, #Mozilla changed their #FAQ, removing a statement, that they have never and never will sell their users' #PersonalData.

When you pay a #license fee to get permission to read #books, don't call this a "#library".

You might as well call the contract with your electricity provider a "power plant".

"Do what you want, the risk is yours."

Could that be the shortest and clearest #PublicDomain license - with no strings attached about things I create and is judged by laws like copyright and ownership to fully have control over - possible?

My goal is to eradicate all and every dependency between me and everyone else. Including having to repeatedly take time to explain what the #license not comes with.

If it holds I think I should be able to really focus my flow to the #OpenSource way of life.

The Navajo Nation Office of Vital Records has been inundated with calls from tribal members residing off-reservation, many of whom report being questioned by ICE agents about their identity.

Arizona state Senator Theresa Hatathlie (Navajo), who represents Arizona’s sixth senate district, highlighted a specific incident where a Navajo citizen was detained for nine hours. She stressed the urgent need for emergency protocols to protect tribal members.

Navajo Nation Council Speaker Crystalyne Curley echoed the urgency, emphasizing the critical role of the Executive Branch in safeguarding tribal members living off-reservation.
“Our people are reaching out to us directly, and their needs are urgent,” Speaker Curley said.
“We must act swiftly to ensure their safety and well-being. Our constituents are depending on us for solutions.”

Navajo Nation President Nygren advised Navajo citizens to be prepared when approached by ICE officers, emphasizing the importance of being proactive during these encounters.

“We are advising Navajo citizens to carry state-issued identification, such as a #driver’s #license or other picture identification if available.
Having your state ID is crucial, and if you possess a #CIB (Certificate of Indian Blood), it can provide an additional layer of reassurance,” President Nygren said. 

Hatahlie stressed that many tribal members struggle with documentation, which has worsened under the recent ICE sweeps.
Despite possessing Certificates of Indian Blood (CIBs) and state-issued IDs, several individuals have been detained or questioned by ICE agents who do not recognize these documents as valid proof of citizenship.
“Our office remains dedicated to provide accurate information and to assist any and all Navajo citizens who get caught up in immigration issues,” President Nygren said.“
If you do run into issues with federal immigration officials, reach out to our office through Operation Rainbow Bridge.”
The "Operation Rainbow Bridge" telephone number is 855-435-7672.
The 25th Navajo Nation Council encourages Navajo tribal members impacted by ICE raids to contact the "Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission Office" at 928-871-7436.
