copylefted software

Read a random definition: legal brief

A quick definition of copylefted software:

Copylefted software is a type of free software that allows anyone to use, copy, modify, and distribute it for any purpose, including financial gain. The distribution terms of copylefted software forbid the addition of restrictions if the software is redistributed in its original or a modified form. This means that the software remains free and open to everyone who wants to use it. The term "free" refers to usage rights rather than price, which means that a user may purchase the initial copy of freeware, but the software is still available for anyone to use and modify.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Copylefted software is free software that allows anyone to use, copy, modify, and distribute it without any additional restrictions. This term is often used by advocates of open-source software as the opposite of copyright.

Example: The GNU General Public License (GPL) is a popular copyleft license used for many open-source software projects, including the Linux operating system. This license allows anyone to use, modify, and distribute the software as long as they also distribute the source code and any modifications under the same license.

Explanation: The example illustrates how copylefted software works by showing how the GPL license allows anyone to use and modify the software without any additional restrictions. This means that the software can be freely distributed and improved upon by anyone, leading to a collaborative and open development process.

@Bettercaulsaul: in my experience, there is often an option on the application for you to choose whether you'd like them to review your application as-is ASAP or hold it until your new score is released. but it probably varies by school—I just remember seeing that option on at least a few app forms

While I am unsure of what option you are referring to, I personally just emailed each school and asked for them to hold my app pending my lsat score release.

hey y'all so im gonna be honest im completely new to all this, i kinda bullshitted and took the LSAT and i have no clue what my odds are of getting into schools. 163 LSAT, 3.17 GPA, and a double major in undergrad i may write about in an addendum

Based on the list I see you made on your profile, you will need to make significant LSAT improvement for those schools to be contenders. Your primary focus should probably be working to get your LSAT practice tests up to a number you are happy with before you retest, and then test until you get a score you like. Don't rush an application cycle or apply late since those will hurt your odds of getting into your school as a splitter. Good luck!

Ruminating on how if you have a job you love it’s really chic and charming to refuse to retire but if you have a job you hate but can’t retire you are a cautionary tale on why you need to start saving at an early age
