Yes… #WhalingLicenses, in plural. For the first time in years, #MinkeWhales will be hunted in #Iceland, along with #FinWhales.
#BjarniBenediktsson who just lost the Icelandic election and has no #mandate, has issued whaling licenses for the next 5 years. This decision wasn’t supposed to be made now, with a review of Icelandic whaling #law still ongoing. But he didn’t wait. These #licenses benefit #companies owned by his friends. It’s #corruption at its clearest.

My understanding is that none of the OSI-recognized #FOSS #licenses oblige you to provide any support or accept any patches.
"Attribution" is a more complex matter. The only thing most FOSS licenses require is that the software is licensed under the same license. There's generally not any kind of attribution clause. That's more like... politeness.
