Mô hình cấp phép "Named-User" khiến sysadmin mất thời gian kiểm tra giấy phép vô dụng, nhất là người dùng "idle" dùng phần mềm nhẹ nhàng nhưng để idle nhiều giờ. Đã bỏ lỗi mua thêm ghế, giờ chỉ tốn chi phí cho đăng ký không sử dụng.

This is a long read, but I think it has a much more coherent take on the idea of creating ethical, political, or anti-capitalistic software licenses:

@alltherum Have you looked at #NonViolentPublicLicense & variations https://git.pixie.town/thufie/npl-builder ?

Personally like Cooperative NVPL, #CNPL, variation https://git.pixie.town/thufie/npl-builder/src/branch/main/cnpl.md .

Cavil-Qwen3-4B: SUSE's Open-Source LLM for Legal Automation #Cavil_Qwen3_4B #LLM #LargeLanguageModel #AI #suse #opensuse #LegalAutomation #SoftwareLicense #opensource

There is a special #circle of #hell for #OpenSource projects which do not actually indicate which license they use, or even that they are, in fact, open source, anywhere in their #documentation or public #website.

I just wasted ten minutes looking for "what license is this #project?" before resigning myself to having to check the code #repository.

They didn't even list the license in their compare-to-other-similar-projects on their About page.

Sheesh.

Changing your license from Open-Source to Source Available misses why customers are buying or not.

Would you ever use open-source software with an "opinionated" license like the OQL?

(For this poll, assume that the license terms are not personally offensive and do not exclude you.)

uggghhhhhh I finally have to license something

I’m not naive; a license is as effective as pissing in the wind if you don’t have the means to enforce it. Still, any recommendation on licenses to make it as difficult as possible for people like Palmer Luckey or dtolnay to benefit from it, in general??

Permissive is good, I don’t care whether it matches a libertarian definition of “open”.

Doing a clean install on macOS is a LOT of work. But @RogueAmoeba give me joy when I register my licenses. I smile every single time. And it’s even accessible!

Honorable mentions to @KeyboardMaestro for audibly saying, “thanks!” and to @shottr_cc@mastodon.social for throwing confetti (but no sound!)

Thought this was a nice presentation of reciprocal and non-reciprocal open source licenses, and why this is not the most important debate to have about open source licenses right now.

I'm not a lawyer and I've never played one on TV. 😜

I believe when the authors release the modified software to the public, which in the case of the Affero GPL means the software is providing service to the public, the source code for the updated software must also be shared back to the public (through the copyright holder?).

I'm not sure about the details of how authors keep or give copyright for their modifications to the copyright holder of the original project or not...

I think you're right that the copyright holder can change the license for future versions, but I don't think that any author can change the license, which I think is the protection provided.

Would prohibiting advertising fix or aleve #enshitification ? I’m contemplating doing this in one of the #softwarelicense concepts I’m working on.
