Not sure why you’d think that though, as the art & music assets are needed by a client, not by the server. They could release the code for both the client and the server, and distribute the assets separately (usually not the kind of thing you want to distribute via SCM anyways).

I do wonder what their reasoning was. Having the code for an MMO client and/or server would make it much easier to write exploits, but it also means community supplied fixes and features. The problem is that people writing exploits/cheats tend to have a financial motivation.

I just use restic to backup my home (to a local disk as well as weekly remote syncs). Then whenever I switch distros I just restore the files I want.

No one uses Thunderbird anymore anyways, which doesn’t matter as the ToS changes to Firefox are a nothing burger and won’t dissuade millions of people using it daily despite what the neck beards on Lemmy would have you believe.

(e.g. you use Firefox to make a post, they have to process those keystrokes through Firefox to send it to the server, and thus could require permission to do that in the form of having a license)

A better example would be stored credentials, credit card information, and other PII type data.
