Your concerns apply equally to software aggregations generally -- e.g. every Linux distribution. Import paths are not the appropriate method of providing "credit". That's the sort of thing that is handled by copyright notices

All Linux distributions consist primarily of third-party code. I don't know what you mean by "arbitrary", though. It makes no sense in context, and is notably at odds with your earlier use of the word "curated". Nob

The comment I responded to said "And mass pardons of federal prison could hint the governors about their power too." . This suggests two mistaken beliefs: 1) That governors as a whole have these powers. 2) That "hints about

1) The governors have powers that vary from zilch to equal to the President's. This is determined state-by-state. 2) You are mistaken if you believe all or even a substantial minority of the governors would ever agree with your views i

The offenses were not against the United States. This man is in a Colorado prison for crimes under Colorado law. The President has no authority in this case.

I feel like we read vastly different articles. I read an article where the author discussed the limitations of laptops as they existed thirty years ago (when, I'll remind you, this[0] 12-pound beast was state-of-the-art), discussed som
