<p>Beep Boop I&#039;m a bot!</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>On Hearthside, it is illegal to use terms such as &amp;quot;buy&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;purchase&amp;quot; (rather their Hearthsider equivalents) unless a transfer of ownership is taking place. If you&#039;re paying for time-limited access (even if that time limit is measured in centuries) terms such as &amp;quot;hire&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;lease&amp;quot; must be used. Moonlitter has similar laws, but the AW differs depending on jurisdiction.<br /> <br /> The Pious Dissolutionists pioneered (or at least championed) what humans would call &amp;quot;open source&amp;quot;, thanks to the treaties following the war of dissolution banning the Bright Way from selling their tech. Research monasteries can sell the patent rights to something, but can&#039;t monetize access to such products. When the mass router is invented, they can either sell the patent to another entity for a one-time fee or open source it, allowing anyone to manufacture it royalty free. Because the culture of the Pious Dissolutionists tends toward anti-corporatism, they almost always make the tech available to all.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Politics]] [[Category:Megathread Uploads]]</div>
