@traumaphoenix @ipg I suspect this one is somehow inherited from the Java license, even though AFAIK that no longer ships with macOS. There was an apocryphal story going around that that clause resulted from Sun engineers going white-faced with fear after receiving a tech support call from a nuclear plant — which I sincerely doubt, but it stuck in my mind.

@traumaphoenix@chaos.social @ipg@wetdry.world nuclear tech makes sense, but I'm a bit surprised about disallowing ATC on their hardware (not that anyone would use macs for it)

@traumaphoenix @ipg That's pretty ordinary. Back in the day they didn't bother specifying so much, but it's been there for a long time. cc @LevelUp

@traumaphoenix @ipg You just need to install @AsahiLinux on the Mac. Then you are allowed to run nuclear weapons using your device.
