Weekly
Islamic open finance: the same APIs, different contracts underneath

Licences, Plainly Sundays, about two minutes

What a licence is: copyright by default, permission by licence
Code, text and data have an owner from the moment they are created. A licence is how the owner tells everyone else what they may do, and on what conditions. Plus this week's business calendar: 5 business days.
