End intellectual property

No one can be relied on to speak truthfully and candidly if under his true name connected to job that can be destroyed and face that can be beaten in {…and family that can be assaulted}. Jim

There are very few moments in a man’s existence when he experiences so much hostility, or meets with so little benevolence, as when he challenges fashionable perceptions of race. –La Griffe du Lion

Andrew Yang, 2020 democratic presendential hopeful, prognosticates on UBI, automation, and gives some realtalk on the differences between men and women:

…I will say that if you dig into the data, you find that men and women experience idleness differently. …Women who are idle, I believe, would very, very naturally adopt this project-based approach that you’re talking about. The data shows that women who are out of work get involved in the community and go back to school and do things that are quite productive and pro-social. Whereas, men who are out of work spend 75 percent of their time on the computer playing videogames and surfing porn—and then tend to devolve into substance abuse and self-destructive behaviors. Men who are out of work volunteer less than employed men, even though they have more time. And so, men and women seem to experience idleness differently…

Before using the plugin, you need to generate license.ser files. Learn how to here.

The BLLM plug-in is the code you will integrate into your software, likely making it available as a menu item under “Help/License”.

The workflow for obtaining a license looks like this:

Download BLLM from Github

Github link here.

Note that the license file has to be handled separately. Generate a license file with the Bitcoin/Litecoin License Manager License Key Generator and include the license in your programs installation directory or another directory of your choosing. Users will need read write access to the directory containg the license.ser file. The license file license.ser should NOT be packaged in your applications jar file.

Integrate BLLM into your application

Provide a menu item that will launch BLLM:

In the ActionListener of your menu item, launch the main window for BLLM

1

5

menuItem = new JMenuItem("License", KeyEvent.VK_L);
menuItem.addActionListener(
    new ActionListener() {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        new bllm.DialogLicenseManager( "My Apps Title", "/path/to/license.ser", "privatekeyforencryption");
      }
    });
menu.add(menuItem);

If you are working with Gradle, you can install BLLM in your local repository and make BLLM a dependency. First add to the local repository:

1
2

>mvn install:install-file -Dfile=build/libs/bllm-0.1.jar -DgroupId=net.stihie -DartifactId=bllm -Dversion=0.1 -Dpackaging=jar

Check your ./.m2 directory and be sure it is there. Then in your gradle.build file:

1

repositories {
     //....
     mavenLocal()
}

dependencies {
	//.......
       compile 'net.stihie:bllm:0.1'
}
