African cassava mosaic virus
African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV, ICTV approved acronym) is a plant pathogenic virus of the family Geminiviridae that may cause either a mosaic appearance to plant leaves, or chlorosis, a loss of chlorophyll. In Manihot esculenta (cassava), a highly valuable African food crop, the virus causes severe mosaic. Cassava is a staple food crop in many places throughout the tropics and subtropics as a source of carbohydrates, but the transmission and severity of disease for cassava in Africa is greatest with ACMV.

gollark: Anyway, you can't really copy-protect software in CC. At all. The best you can do is use a bunch of obfuscation techniques together to make it mildly hard to do anything with it, and add some code to check computer ID or something.
gollark: I really ought to move to osmarks.net or something for critical services like the potatOS backend servers.
gollark: Freenom require you to renew your domain 2 weeks before it expires, lest they take it away and charge money.
gollark: They really should use potatOS's *good* UUID generator.
gollark: Also, anyone want a black-market potatOS update manifest?
