EDIT: They want users to help generate a dataset. You just play a game and email them the data when you are done.

I just did it, it was easy.

            That’s not how that works…

            It just means you can’t modify it and make a profit from selling it or monetizing your modifications.

            (… Or try to sell it without modification, for that matter)

                  Commercial use in copyright refers to the use of creative works, such as text, images, music, or videos, for financial gain.

                  Just as I said, can’t use the keyboard with modifications to write a work email. Since the license doesn’t grant that permission, it’s unsafe to assume that it does.

                    When I was 14 I purchased a CD with a copy of the Audacity installer on it from a shady site for $30…

                    I seriously doubt the authors intend you to uninstall your keyboard every time you need to write a work email; it’s to stop you from profiting off of their work, just as you can’t remove their branding and funding links when you re-distribute.

                    I have CC BY-NC images as my desktop wallpaper on my work laptop… Now if my work was selling the laptop then it could become a problem, especially if the pretty art was part of the value proposition. While it merely existing might be a gray area under some hyper-pedantic interpretation, it’s functionally irrelevant in the real world until there’s money involved and the licensor can show damages.

                    (Psst I also changed some behaviour in my GPL editor for personal use once without sharing my changes and also I also used that version a few times while writing proprietary commercial code… Pls don’t tell Stallman)

          Yeah the more damning thing is the fascism. Anything from or in any way connected to Curtis Yarvin should get a wide berth. Rossman hooking his wagon to Yarvin is disappointing. But well within the norms for him sadly. (Kiwifarms association etc) I want to like him and support him for his right to repair work. But personally I can’t.
