Seems pretty unresponsive to me. I'm getting at least half a second of delay before the accordion, drop-down, or switch do anything. Chrome on Windows.

My first guess is that one of your add-ons is interacting badly.

I have 0 delay for all parts of it. Everything loads and works instantaneously. Firefox on Android.

Was, he said it a long time ago. He has said a lot of things that sounded kind of far-fetched and paranoid at the time, but which were later demonstrated to be true, so "Stallman was right" is reappraising the past statement.

I understand what you mean, but he’s still saying it and he never stopped.

Lots of people are saying some of those things now, but Stallman was saying them decades ago. It's not differentiating or meaningful to say "A is right" if B-E are saying the same thing at the same time.

Let’s just say Stallman was and is still in the process of being right

Do you have permission from the publisher for an adaptation? If not, you're taking a legal risk basing it off the books.

It's based on it, it's not an adaptation.

Also, this would very well fit within fair use


It would not fit within the definition of fair use. Lack of commercial revenue isn't some escape hatch.

OTOH, if it were merely inspired by it (but not an adaptation) then there would be no copyright issues.


That does not match my understanding of fair use at all.


Quite a few places. Cable propelled transit (CPT) is the term to search for. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gondola_lift#Urban_transport


Not open source though?

Right but it is cheaper than open source products if you self-host. Most open source products in this space, including grist, are only partially open source.

[grist employee here] Grist forms are open source and were used to keep the toilets clean at FOSDEM just a few days ago https://fosstodon.org/@grist/116001932837956733

Everything you see in our standard docker image is open source. Yes, you can enable and pay for enterprise features too.


It is weird that your enterprise features are not self-hostable even if a customer pays. I understand if some features are not open source, but why make it not self-hostable? Self-hosting is a requirement for confidential data.

The enterprise features are self-hostable. Look at "your servers" on the pricing page for Grist. Individuals (and orgs with < $1 million in annual income) quality for free activation keys btw.


TeX is pronounced Teck or with a sound like in Bach or loch. Derivatives like Latex and Lualatex are similar.


I think it may be a generic word that's hard to trademark or something, as the existing scientific analysis software called Prism (https://www.graphpad.com/) doesn't seem to be trademarked; the Trademarks link at the bottom goes to this list, which doesn't include Prism: https://www.dotmatics.com/trademarks
