On one side, Myles Goodwyn, frontman/signer of April Wine dies.
The Nature of the Beast is still one regular in my musical rotation.
On the other side, Daniel Langlois, Softimage founder and cultural patron in Montréal and his spouse Dominique Marchand , found dead (assassinated) in Dominique, probably from an hotel competitor (he was building a self-sustaining hotel complex).
As a young graduate, I always wanted to work at Softimage, but it never happened.

April Wine had some great songs, sad to hear.

Mine looks and works a lot like Captain Jack Sparrow's.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Probably, but since we're scheduled to enjoy a fairly serious geomagnetic storm today, I wouldn't trust it right now.

"on the profound influence that music can have on our moral compass."
Perhaps they don't understand cause and effect?
Seems to me more likely that they have it exactly backwards.

Didn't read the article, but I'm guessing someone is still trying to claim heavy metal will make you want to murder your parents and such...?

 I remember those days well!

That can very well be the case even if you don't like heavy metal ...

Heavy metal was just the first thing that came to mind. I might as well have picked reggae. 
It's not the music. If someone decides to go on a killing spree, he's already got a screw loose, and that's what should be examined (for one, what meds was he on? Is that ever asked?) - but it's easier to blame music. And music, unlike Big Pharma, doesn't sponsor the news.
Same with video games. You don't become proficient at using a weapon no matter how many hours you put in using a mouse or Xbox controller.

Yes, but you have to play the record backwards. Same is true for the Beatles "White Album", I think.

If there is a single unambiguous and undisputed definition of what is "moral", and this definition is associated with institutions promoting certain kind of music, it comes natural: Those who support those institutions and their morals, have higher tendency to listen to the kind of music promoted by those institutions.
Except that I will never agree that there is a single unambiguous and undisputed definition of what is "moral". E.g. I strongly object to a great number of the practices of the Christian religion as being "moral" - even though they themselves hold it up as their "moral".
A second thing: I have for many years been singing in church choirs. Because the churches turns out to capture control over so much resources that they can pay some very good conductors. I listen to a lot of church music, because the Christian churches for centuries have had enough resources to grab the best composers, paying them to make music to support the ideas of the church. That was the way to make a living in earlier days: To work for the church. Today, the way to find a place to sing under a great conductor: Search the church choirs.
I do. Both listening and singing. I do it for the music. Some of the moral, I detest. Some of my true morals would make church people (and maybe a fair share of others) throw up, if I revealed them. I don't. From my music preferences, you would say that I am a highly church moral person. And I'll let you all believe that; I am not revealing my true thoughts. I would strengthen the conclusions of this study. But it would be false.

Like music says something about personality?
I'd never date someone doing classic or folk.

Long back, it was called as "porting", isn't it?

As I understand that is incorrect application of the term.
honey the codewitch wrote: defunct open source project
The defunct part is irrelevant. What matters is what the actual license is. The most liberal type of that license says basically 'do whatever you want just don't cry if it fails'. If that is the license then it does in fact explicitly give you the right to port it and thus it is not 'laundering'.
There are many variations of 'open source' licensing though. And some would fall into that category depending on what you intend to do with the code.
