Author location: Beijing, China. In other words, good luck with enforcement.

The person who posted this on HN is the original author of the paper, please be somewhat respectful and not rude. If you want to call him out, talk to him directly here.

I am sorry for my fault. I will delete them soon. In other words, the license is valid in all the world, including China.
