@Linux_Is_Best I disagree. There were #opensource operating systems like #bsd before #linux under a permissive license. Companies like #apple took their work and made #macos without giving back.
#linux is gaining mainstream attention because the linux kernel uses the #gpl2 license. Any derivative works of the Linux kernel should be open source. The #gnu toolchain like compiler, bash, command line tools etc are parts of your Linux distribution.
So GNU made the world take open source seriously.
Klage gegen #AVM:
Auch #Skripte für #Kompilierung gehören zum #Quellcode
Wegen der unvollständigen Herausgabe von #GPL2.0- und #LGPL2.1-lizenziertem Quellcode hat ein Softwareentwickler gegen #AVM geklagt.
@mntmn just to add an alternative I'm using https://github.com/debauchee/barrier. BTW is #GPL2
Найкращий, легкий та простий емулятор терміналу.
Sakura - це емулятор термінала, і його єдиними залежностями є GTK та VTE. Він використовує блокнот, щоб забезпечити кілька терміналів в одному вікні й дозволяє змінювати параметри конфігурації через контекстне меню. Не більше і не менше.
@liztai In the end, I went back to #FreePlane since it is #GPL2 and stores it's data in, more-or-less, human readable format that is also #LocalFirst
It may not be as modern as Dendron, but it still gets the job done. ❤️

@galdor@emacs.ch Let’s not conflate the #SSPL license that Elastic switched to with the #BSLLicense.
The SSPL is an #AGPL license modified to prohibit competition for eternity.
The BSL is a license that turns into a #GPL2 compatible license within at most 4 years and which the creators, @mariadb, created to ensure their proprietary extensions would be as close to OSS as possible and guaranteed to eventually become full OSS.
Likewise, @getsentry defaults to non-BSL: https://open.sentry.io/licensing/
Another day, another project that uses the #BSLLicense, but which hasn’t understood the requirements it’s setting (change date being too far away in the future and change license being #AGPL, which is not #GPL2 compatible)
Apart from that, #SpacetimeDB looks like a cool project 👏
The whole #OpenGameLicense debacle reminds me a lot of when version 3 of the #GNU #GPL came out, except that this time it's being done by a for-profit company that may make use of the new terms to go after other for-profit companies, so it's much more difficult to support the decision on intent (regardless of wording).
Limited audience for this, I'm sure, but if anyone is running an #icecast server and wants to do what @stream is doing (toot out track changes) I popped the code for my little bot in a #github repo: https://github.com/ajleahey/icecast2mastodon
@znerol clarification. it is they who are arguing that the #GPL2 is triggered. indeed this is client side #javascript code, in fact it is commonly not pulled in as a dependency but loaded in as a separate JS file. anyway, their argument imho has no legal basis. but honestly if this is their interpretation, I will stay clear. I wanted to use their GPL2 license for non paying users but pay to use their proprietary plugins for users subscribed to my #SaaS service.
currently talking to a company that dual-licenses #Javascript code under the #GPL2 and proprietary licenses, that seems to argue that using the GPL2 license for their code would mean that the entire backend code would need to be licensed under a GPL2 compatible license. interestingly they are not arguing that one can only use the GPL2 license for their code while using a browser with a GPL2 compatible license.
Un #logiciellibre #GPL2 bien pratique pour visualiser les gros fichiers : Windirstat (https://windirstat.net/)
Chaque rectangle représente un fichier, la taille étant proportionnelle à l'espace disque occupé.
Depuis l'interface on peut connaître le nom du fichier, sa taille et il est possible de le supprimer ou l'effacer. Vraiment très pratique !
À posséder impérativement dans sa logithèque !

@Elucidating @Cedara Why would someone think #Linux is more ethical than #BSD? The only reasons that come to mind are:
1. The #RandiHarper nonsense
2. The use of #MIT and #ISC licenses instead of #GPL2
Coreboot Conference 2017 videos now available.
Coreboot project aims for a replacement to proprietary UEFI / BIOS (specifications that define a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware). One of the coreboot variants is Libreboot.
