I am yet to find a creative project created thanks to genAI that is truly original, like Sonic Pi for instance.

Is there something like the #MITLicense (or #GPL) that is copyleft/permissive EXCEPT not allowing training, etc., of #ML / #AI / #LLM ?

@t3rr0rz0n3 @feoh GPL doesn't stop corporations from using your code any way they want, they have more and better lawyers than you.

With BSD/MIT, you still own your software, the version you released is still free, and anyone who wants can use it. That's real user freedom, without petty jealousy.

And, not enabling the toejam-eater at FSF is a nice bonus.

@Red The MIT license is not proprietary. Just because it isn't a copyleft license, which the MIT license is not, just because it explicitly has "Copyright" in its license text, which the MIT license does, it is not automatically proprietary and non-free.

The MIT license is compatible with the Debian Free Software Guidelines which means that software under the MIT license is allowed into main on Debian and not forced into non-free. It is approved both by the Free Software Foundation and the Open Source Initiative, and it is compatible with the GPL.

In other words, both Debian and the FSF have officially declared the MIT license a free license.

It is possible and legal by license to pass your MIT-licensed software on to your user community so they can maintain and develop it, and then for the new developers to re-license your MIT-licensed software under the GPL. Exactly this has happened to Friendica.

Mike Macgirvin knew that the Friendica community wanted to re-license Friendica under the GPL. It wasn't a secret. (Proof: the short-lived Free-Friendika fork from very early 2012 that was created for there to always be an MIT-licensed Friendika.)

Also, both the X Window System, the Wayland protocol and the Sway window manager are MIT-licensed. X11 actually has its own variant of the MIT license. curl is MIT-licensed. Both Gitea and GitLab are MIT-licensed. Linux From Scratch is MIT-licensed. The XMPP server Prosody is MIT-licensed. And Ruby on Rails, which Mastodon is built with, is MIT-licensed, too, as is Rust.

The MIT license allows for just the same liberties as all variantes of GPLv2 and GPLv3, but without the restrictions that make all GPL variants viral.

You may argue that the GPLv3 is literally the only free license that has ever existed because all derivatives of GPL-licensed material are automatically GPL-licensed themselves and therefore free software when published.

I'm more on the side that the MIT license is actually freer than any versions and flavours of the GPL because it does not have any such restrictions and grants more liberties.

@Red It could.

But it was the intention of the creator, @Mike Macgirvin 🖥️, for all his works to be under the MIT license. The current Hubzilla maintainers, @Mario Vavti and @Harald Eilertsen, certainly won't relicense Hubzilla under the GPL in any shape or form, otherwise they would have done that.

It isn't even worth doing so just to have code from Friendica. After all, Friendica's backend is vastly different from Hubzilla's. Friendica is based on a mixture of ActivityPub and its own DFRN whereas Hubzilla is based on Zot with ActivityPub available through an optional add-on. On Friendica, your account is your identity; it doesn't have Hubzilla's channel model, nor does it have nomadic identity.

Red came to exist by Mike forking Friendica and rewriting the whole thing against his new Zot protocol. Hubzilla hardly has any old Friendica code left over. So it's safe to assume that Friendica's code is incompatible with Hubzilla anyway.

Generally, there's nothing on Friendica that'd be worth taking over for Hubzilla. Not even themes because theming works entirely differently on Hubzilla.

Asking Mario and Harald to relicense Hubzilla under any form of the GPL is as likely to succeed as asking them to implement all kinds of proprietary Mastodon stuff to make Hubzilla more compatible with Mastodon and Mastodon apps:

Not going to happen.

also I have a hot take about copyright assignment CLAs. it's a bit of a meme in the FOSS community to not sign them because then your code can be proprietarized. but like, isn't contributing to an MIT-licensed (or any pushover license-licensed) project the same thing?

read "MIT-licensed" below as meaning any pushover/permissive license. Apache, BSD, etc. if you are very close to one of these options, but make an exception every once in a while for Reasons(tm), pick the option you're closest to instead of "voting down" (but leave a reply because I am SO interested in what folks do here)

#OmnivoreAlternative ?

obsidian.md/blog/save-the-web/

Está disponível o #ObsidianWebClipper , extensão oficial do #Obsidian para navegadores (incluindo mobile)

Segundo a postagem do link acima, é #OpenSource e está sob a #MITLicense

Farei mais testes, mas a primeira impressão foi boa: permite tanto a captura de artigos inteiros como a de grifos feitos no navegador.

Dica: se você não usa Obsidian ou não quiser importar a nota para este app, saiba que o texto capturado fica no clipboard (área de transferência), com todas as marcações em Markdown! De maneira que você pode colar o texto no seu aplicativo favorito!

Infelizmente, ainda não permite anotações... Mas vamos com calma! ;-) Só o fato de ele ir direto para o Obsidian já é uma mão na roda, permitindo a manipulação total do texto!

Hotkeys:
- Open Obsidian Clipper: Alt+Shift+O
- Toggle highlighter mode: Alt+H

PS: ele traz aqueles "metadados" (YAML) no cabeçalho da nota e, pelo que vi, permite criar templates também.

**Lately, I have been working** on a series of small archiving projects. I have been gathering 35 years of digital data, and organizing it locally, mostly in [Obsidian](https://jamierubin.net/category/practically-paperless/). I’m working toward a single, text-based archive that can serve as the source of a personal LLM that will take over the role of traditional search. I want to be able to converse with an LLM about everything and anything I have ever produced. Archiving is a first step in that process.

My most recent venture was to archive into Obsidian all of the blog posts I’ve written over the last 19+ years. I did this in two discrete steps:

1. Generate markdown files from the WordPress export of my blog.
2. Replace any markdown links to other blog posts with Obsidian-style links

After my cleaning process, which included de-duping posts (some early post [...]

"🔍 Kaspersky Unveils Scripts for Detecting Pegasus Spyware on iPhones 📱"

Kaspersky has developed scripts to detect Pegasus, Reign, and Predator spyware on iPhones. These scripts, written in Python (100% Python according to GitHub), analyze the Shutdown.log file in the iPhone's sysdiagnose archive for forensic artifacts indicative of these spywares. Infections leave traces in Shutdown.log, especially in the path "/private/var/db/". These scripts, available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, simplify spyware detection by extracting, analyzing, and parsing Shutdown.log. Open-source and under an MIT license, you can find them on GitHub.
