OBEX on GitHub

  • Whatever is developed, it needs to be easy or it won't be used by many. Many people on this forum are computer Jedi. Many Propeller users are Jedi in their fields, but are not computer Jedi. If education is a priority, students and many teachers are not computer Jedi. This is my take on a OBEX system.

    1. Be able to browse/search and retrieve an object/program. Probably easiest task.
    2. Be able to submit an object/program I wrote to the exchange. Harder task. Is it open for me to post? Post in quarantine? Submit and a moderator does the posting? SPAM filtering? Are there standards/guidelines for objects?
    3. Edit an object I wrote.
    4. Edit an object I didn't write. Who approves? I don't want to be responsible for bad edits to my code.

    You mean this current git-OBEX?
    The fat green "Clone or download" button offers it as ZIP too:

    The stuff does not need to include "microsoft" in its license. You seem very concerned with the fact that microsoft owns github, but both github's terms of service and copyright law make it clear that the ownership of github.com has nothing to do with the ownership of code posted there. Microsoft cannot magically become the owner of code that's written by a third party. There must be an explicit contract giving that ownership to Microsoft, and no such contract exists (nor does github claim any such contract). If you believe otherwise, please point to some document supporting your case.

    (I still don't think github is a good replacement for the OBEX, but that's another question entirely.)
  • they did magically become the owner if it


    if u knowingly put ur car in my garage...its mine
  • if parallax can give it away...why cant microsoft....maybe they sell github for sxtrodinary profit to some billionaire becuase he was bored....they can...becuase parallax did
  • how about this...is it legal for intel to pay microsoft to not allow people access to parallax files on github

    why wouldnt intel pay for this service...its how google works

    the obex helped me alot...i stick with things that help me

    i dont use microsaft anymore short of thier services that the web uses...if cars needed to upgrade like MS we would walk

    MS was taken to court for monopoly...thats as rare as impeachment

    bill gates could have funded git for a thousand years..but he tagged it with MS

    in my opinion: its just a microsoft incubator

    the best idea is the one that works...if its not patented...MS gets it patents it and makes miney off it
  • Sorry, overthere, but you are just plain wrong. On many counts...

    Things don't work like you are claiming, and the law even prevents much of it.
  • dont be sorry...show me where the law did anthing to protect any little guy against MS
  • The law is clear that you own code you create, unless you sign a contract otherwise. If you don't believe me, though, then consider some github customers:

    https://github.com/ibm
    https://github.com/apple
    https://github.com/google
    ...
    and many more.

    Those companies have very good lawyers, and have no reason to trust Microsoft (in fact they compete with Microsoft). They seem to be OK with github's terms of service.
  • apple got busted slowing the speed of thier phone to make u buy more

    google cant do an honest search anymore...duckduckgo does and ripped linux off to build android

    ibm fired the honest people in favor of younger peiope under tighter contract
