No I am serious, if you are comparing murders, you should include all weapons!

There are regional differences! Fire arms are heavily regulated and relatively hard to get in EU. We are close to war zones, hand grenades are easier to smuggle, and are used in Sweden.

If you include murders by knife, London is worse than US!

Edit: also you wrote "assault" that could include anything from armed robbery without health injury, to self defense. Apples and oranges!

> fire arm rate is 12X

Add explosives, hand grenades, kidnapping...

US does not have a big problem with organized crime!

Try to stay there for a month, in shady part of town! Current goverment is at least trying to police those places!

Not best approach, some places are empty outside of narrow tourist season.

Yet another reason to skip US on travel. In EU I may get like extra 3 euro council tax for staying at hotel.

In US even basic stuff, like going to restaurant for dinner, is "an experience" that requires reservation and generous bakshish.

Feral cats are very similar to rats. They eat garbage, spread disease and destroy wildlife.

Ok, imagine following scenario:

- You started using product

- One year latter ASF stops existing, apache.org returns 404 or viagra ads.

- Two years latter, original FSL gets terminated, your new license for that software are 404 errors or viagra ads. You now have no license and should stop distribution!

Think what you want, software under FSL is on my ban list.

Yes, they could put extra paragraphs that become valid after 2 years, that would be OK.

But the way it is written, it changes existing license! Effectively making a new release! You can not do that in EU, what if user does not agree with the new licence? It is quite illegal in most EU countries!

You can not swap licenses like that! Many scammers do that, and there are strong pro-consumer laws to prevent that!

What is worse, it even terminates old license after two years! Really really stupid lawyer worked on this!

Here is the text:

> On the second anniversary of the date we make the Software available, the Software will become available under the Apache 2.0 license. On that date, the Terms and Conditions above automatically terminate and the following terms become effective:

I am not sure this is legal in my country!

In Czechia "release" is a legal act done by author(or right holder). You can do it by uploading code on Github etc.. But it is something author did themselfs.

You can not perform legal act (releasing) with extra conditions like a delay. Either you did it or not!

For the same reason you can not put extra conditions in Last Will (house is yours, but you have to take care of my cats). That part is simply not enforceable and gets ignored by notary!

So I am worried, clause about Apache license is invalid, and software may get forever stuck under less permisive license!

Contract can be international and are enforceable! It would be a huge problem for possible future exports, if there was liability with GPLv2 violations!

It is easier to use *BSD for something like that. It is smaller, more consistent, you are not forced to release your changes...
