Can they be made into finished lumber in Canada at a cost that would allow them to sell for a profit into export markets? What would it take to achieve this?

Is it disabled in hardware, firmware or software? Does Linux enable it?

It's an interesting article but it seems to me that when it comes to opposing abuse of power, free communication is more fundamental than free software. Without sufficiently free communication, free software is practically unavailable and for many purposes (anything that involves communication with others) it is unusable.

According to Are Song Lyrics Copyrighted? How the Law Works, unless their use is 'fair use' or they have a license, then they are violating copyright, if I understand the article correctly. I believe that site explains laws in the United States. It probably varies somewhat by jurisdiction, so I expect it would depend on who owns the website and where they are based.

I'm not running your configuration so can't tell you with the assurance that I have it working but Forwarding ports with firewalld appears to address port forwarding to rootless podman using firewalld.

They may accept the ongoing cost, but that doesn't make it free. There may be no cash payment, but that doesn't make it free. Cost comes in many forms. The glib misrepresentation of the transaction is disappointing.

It's not free.

If it's a US company, it's not sovereign for any country other than USA. In any other country, it's US spyware and theft of intellectual property, from a moral perspective if not a corrupt legal perspective.
