Even if you modified it a bit, only the parts that were modified are copyrightable.

@EUCommission By the way, in case you’re wondering, this means that apart from folks in Cuba and Iran not being able to use Let’s Encrypt, neither can the UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine, Francesca Albanese nor the ~11 International Criminal Court judges and other officials that are being persecuted for opposing Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people and their efforts to bring the war criminals responsible to justice.

Crypto and AI companies have also poured $7 billion+ into Trump directly. Afterwards, 21+ SEC cases/investigations against crypto companies were dropped, regulators did a U-turn on crypto policy, and the industry was invited to write their own rules.

Trump's contempt for non-subservient women is one of his most notable -- and contemptible -- traits. It's most obvious when he goes off on female journalists.

He does this again and again to them, with almost zero pushback from their cowardly journalism peers.
