> tribes around in Polynesia

Please refrain from this sort of imperialist language. Refer to the particular nations and peoples by their real names, not a catch-all concocted by a Frenchman.

This is the first time I hear about that people in Polynesia have something against the term "Polynesia". Do you have any resources where I can read more about how they feel about the term as when I've visited many of the islands, I've never come across this before.

Uh, yeah... that's integration!

I don't think it is integration like we are used to: you don't need an SDK to do this, and there is no need to have an agreed between both companies.

I think this would end in a lawsuit it you do itm

> you don't need an SDK to do this

Does the code for cross-checking who holds what NFT on what platform just materialize out of whole cloth? Does Eth not have an SDK?

> and there is no need to have an agreed between both companies

Yeah, you would. The IP rights don't get thrown out just because there exists a pointer in a ledger that says you paid money to do widgety things with the content on someone's platform.

There's too much confusion of Utility with utility here.

It's not a hotline for free therapy, and they only have the script/training for one circumstance. You don't blame your hammer if it doesn't saw very well.
