Good and bad designs of ergonomic devices Ergonomics has recently gained great popularity and every day we meet with different ergonomic devices that make our lives easier and sometimes, on the contrary, complicate it and create problems. In this blog post, will be elaborated examples of good and bad ergonomics design, in IT and in everyday life.   Examples of Ergonomic IT Devices Good design: Wireless headphones   The most important advantage of wireless headphones is the absence of wires, which means providing convenience during operation.

Analysis of the impact that copyleft has on the choice of the software license for the project Definitely, copyleft has a very strong influence on the project, since it is this license that determines how the work will be built.

And if we have a question about whether the license affects derivative works or not, then we can immediately get an answer that comes out of the lines above and this answer is positive.

In my post, I will look at each of these forms and determine what impact each of them has on the choice of a software license for a project. The first form I would like to consider is the strong copyleft. Th...
