MIT might be a better license for broad adoption. Both GPL and LGPL are viral licenses. They serve a purpose, but you need to assess if that purpose is the same as yours.

So, what's your opposition to the special district that provides Disney with the ability to maintain it's property is a manner that is consistent with their business needs--which surpass the normal requirements of either Orange or

As noted elsewhere in this thread: the special district laws and the RCID, specifically, have survived constitutional review by the Florida Supreme Court. The state certainly understands that these laws we deemed constitutional.

The state doesn't, the taxpayers of Orange and Osceola counties pay for it.

Given that this law went from draft to law in under 96 hours, it's hardly surprising that the implications were not fully reviewed or understood by the legislature. Further, a number of the points being discussed here were brought up i

Disney's land straddles two counties. That raises a number of logistical challenges such as zoning, level of service, different priorities between the counties, which would ultimately all translate to a lower, less guest-friendly envir

Just the characterization of Disney's opposition to the "Parental Rights in Education" bill as "misbehaving", is telling. Voicing you opposition of government legislation is a right enshrined in the first amendment.

Where are those calls prior to Disney's opposition to the "Parentel Rights in Education" bill? Special districts are widely used in Florida. It's not like it's some great secret.

by colburnmh 4y ago
It's your interpretation that Disney should never have had those rights. The state of Florida clearly strongly disagrees with you, given that they have granted the same/similar rights to thousands of entities over more than 200 ye

So, your position is that it's OK if it's political revenge against Disney, because they make lots of money? You realize that is a very slippery slope, right? The first amendment confers free speech as a right regardless of your f

So why aren't you advocating for the repeal of the 1843 other special districts in Florida, which also include Sea World, and Universal, as well as HOAs, and wide variety of other businesses?

No, they can't. Florida state law specifically prohibits that: all county residents must pay the same tax rate. The only way that Disney can pay more taxes than county residents is by forming a...drumroll, please...independent special
