Epyrus • Re: Unclear about the License

Off-topic: Also, I'm glad you replied. I thought you wouldn't because I sent you a PM about this last week. Did you receive it by any chance?

Yes, I saw your name on it, but I was preoccupied with other things and didn't read... honestly, now I kinda wish I had replied because having all this out in the open and me feeling obligated to address each thing whether I am in the mood or have time or not is... not ideal. I'm sure in that context I could have told you how long I thought it would take. LOL. But it is what it is. You may have accidentally (probably not intentionally, this seems like an attempt to help) created a situation that actually puts legal obligations on me to address all this quickly or pull down my binaries... I'm not sure at this point. But being served notice and me acknowledging it could mean the clock starts on me having to either pull down binaries or fix everything. Though I may just be paranoid.

I'm now scrambling to try and figure out how this embedded license file works, those links at the bottom that were pointed out are the one thing I never checked for Mozilla references and now I feel like I'm going to have to rush out another emergency release... I really wish I'd never bothered with Epyrus sometimes, there's too much licensing, release engineering, and adult stuff that I find as tedious and unpalatable as the real-life tasks I can't perform consistently that keep me from holding down an actual job. Not mad at you, just mad at how much this project demands of me for a result I've never been happy with from the day it started.

That LICENSE file in the repo, granted I wasn't too worried about that not matching up, but if there's one embedded in the binaries that doesn't, I have a bigger problem.

EDIT: Just decided to remove all downloads of Epyrus until I get this resolved. Releasing binaries is such a legal minefield that I'm too afraid to leave them up, especially when I've been served notice of the issues. I know there's certain people who will be all shocked and upset about "a lapse" with the implication that I need to "keep this going smoothly," but this was never that kind of project and I never had that much to give to it. I'm not Moonchild and I'm not... you-know-who. This kind of stuff isn't what I'm good at and I don't like dealing with it at all. And I was just handed a mountain of it (not upset with you, it would have been worse if Mozilla legal had showed up to take me down) to wade through that I should have had handled before ever launching this in the first place. This feels like having to appear for jury duty or go to the DMV... and miss work or appointments or other plans because you can't avoid it.
