  • if it’s tied to a domain name, that domain can be acquired.

    the code that is open source stays like that, but if they get all original authors on board, they can release a new version that is not open source; basically a closed source fork.

    this is because the original authors can re-release their intellectual property under different licenses as much as they want, but then it’s out there with multiple licenses and people can choose which version they want to use as long as they respect the license that comes with that version.


  • HDR is not for the type, but for tge resolution: Transitioning from one color to another over 3000 pixels will often result in very visible steps where each region of one color ends and the next begins. HDR can reduce these steps significantly. You need HDR less, if you have only 1080p, regarless if OLED, LCD or whatever. But if you have 4K and the display fills a lot of your field of view (meaning it’s big or you’re close) it can become super annoying without HDR. Of course, some people don’t mind either way. Maybe check it by visiting a store and getting close to the displays. Ask them to switch HDR off and on.
