āIt has been over a year since I cancelled my Cloudflare account. They keep emailing me and havenāt taken me off their marketing lists despite repeated requests. Their CTO told me he would investigate, but nothing changed. Their Data Protection Office hasnāt respond to my requests. Cloudflare do not appear to respect the GDPR.ā

Are there any @lineageos users trying to use the #NHS #COVID app? I keep getting this message (paraphrased):
"This app can't run on this phone. This could be because it's a company phone or a similar app is causing interference." Any ideas?

The easiest way to understand #license terms is to begin with why, rather than what. The #GNU licenses have been written by #developers and their lawyers for #application by #developers without any aid or assistance from lawyers, for the purpose of assuring these #freedoms to all their #users, and all #users of modified versions or new #programs ... If a GPLād #program can be enhanced with proprietary #code...then intentions of developers to protect usersā rights will be frustrated.
