malus, mala, malum ADJ

bad, evil, wicked; ugly; unlucky;

It's an interesting word in Latin, because depending on the phonetic length of the vowel and gender it vary greatly in meaning. The word 'malus' (short a, masculine adjective) means wicked, the word 'mālus' (long ā, feminine noun) means apple tree, and 'mālus' (long ā, masculine noun) means the mast of a ship.

Homonym of "malice" too. Honestly kind of a brilliant name.

Are licenses even enforceable now? Given that the law is not being followed in the United States anymore?

Presumably this is a joke, based on the "Success Reports" and the footer, among other things.

It will be nice to know how many legal personnel fell for this trip. Maybe a leaderboard :D

This could also be done with a fair amount of commercial software, especially anything that's basically a wrapper around APIs, databases, etc.

interesting name. The opposite of a bonus. So what is, the fact that your fork looses the thousands of eyes (meat and ai) that spot and fix bugs and security leaks?

Thought this was about semiconductor cleanrooms at first. Any startups doing that?
