In February of 2017, I wrote "Plan, Prepare, Act" that outlined a series of things for libraries to prepare for during the first go round. Now that we're here again, much of the content is still relevant: threat models for libraries, laws, and the like. #libraries
This is going to go very poorly for them in the histories to be written…

I'm usually pretty quick on the uptake for new-to-me tech changes, and I've been actively working in the identity/authentication/authorization space for years now...and I'm still wrapping my head about this one. Heather is the world authority on this stuff, though, so if she’s worried, I know i should be. https://mas.to/@sphcow/113821178064250160
Hey Legal types…I asked this years ago, curious if the state-of-law has changed.
There are many sites online where you can buy STL files for 3D printing which are CC licensed Non-Commercial by the creator. This obviously means that you can't resell the file, or any modified versions if the CC includes derivatives.
Can you legally sell the physical prints (in the US), though, even if the file is NC? Does it change the answer if the output file is "useful" and not artistic or decorative?
