For some reason we have baked goods in the break room this morning... cookies, mini cupcakes, and "honey bun cake", which is amazing.
Wasn't it leftover tailgate food last time?
Yes, but these appear to be fresh. Like they came from a real bakery, they're all packaged up nicely/
Apparently, it's Boss's day.... So somebody must have a good or at least halfway likeable boss in there somewhere.
We have 2 good ones here.

Point them to said goodies and say, "Hey, I think these are for you..."
Whether or not that is actually correct or not... but hey, it scores you brownie points with the bosses

That is the worst.
You are so lucky not to get hungover.

Where has @wirestyle22 gotten to? Haven't seen him in a bit.

TYPING a letter on this:
The Serial number leads me to it's date of manufacture to be about 1923 - $3 then would be be quite a bit then... and after nearly 100 years, still works nicely.
Sorting out the layout of a battery unit,.. a single 4s (4 batteries in series) moved to a 4s4p (4 series/4 parallel) and without a BMS (battery monitoring system). Parts list for the build is growing, hoping the layout helps prevent missing a part or two.

@thwr That's what I figured.
The second and third paragraphs of this article highlight what I thought was strange: https://blog.nexcess.net/2016/08/03/how-can-developers-make-a-living-from-gpl-plugins/
The idea that under the GPL it seems like it's allowed to take someone's work and distribute it as your own (either for free or for a fee). While that's clearly an ethical problem, it doesn't seem to be disallowed.

The question to me comes down to - what are you paying for? As has been discussed here before, the typical claim for cost is the distribution expense, not the software on the media.
As for claiming the work as your own, I didn't read it, so i don't know if that's allowable or not. It might boil down to a wording game.

Of course you can. The GPL has, from day one, guaranteed that you can distribute the work and charge for it. That was explicitly built into the license as a requirement.
It's not an ethical problem in the slightest. It's not disallowed... it's a protected right. The entire GPL ecosystem is built on this.
You cannot CALL It your own, however. You must maintain the licensing and acknowledgements of the original. You cannot lie about it.
