@miss_rodent yeah, @creativecommons #CC0 is a "Public Domain - equivalent, permissive license" (similar to #0BSD) and it does solve that problem.

  • Otherwise the #Copyrightmafia could otherwise racketeer people for ising your works…
@icedquinn or just go to #0BSD over #AGPLv3 / #GPLv3 / whatever else Stallman is smoking rn.

@landley @eruwero @maybeanerd but if your goal is to "commit asset-denial" against GAFAMs then shure, #AGPLv3 is a shure-fire method to have neither corporate users nor -sponsors

If anybody needed another reason to license their projects under AGPL, this might do the trick :smirkgrin: https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/using/agpl-policy/

@stage7 in theory people could take something like #0BSD and add a #antifascist clause of 161 words to it, creating i.e. "#161BSD"

#NotLegalAdvice OFC, but unless your license has a #Copyleft clause re: it's #antifascist terms it's more of a symbolic gesture trivially undone by constantly #forking it!

@lmemsm the closest I know is @landley 's writeups to his minimalist #Linux "distro" (or rather reference implementation of #toybox + #musl / Linux known as #mkroot.

  • toybox on it's own is basically a clean, minimalist #Userland inspired by #BusyBox but licensed under #0BSD.

  • mkroot then just is that, Linux Kernel and the necessary "wiring" to make it go brr in #QEMU.

He also releases his toolchain and has (by his own account) basically bootstrapped from there not just to #LinuxFromScratch but also 50% #BeyondLinuxFromScratch to evidence that it can be extended to arbitrary complexity.

  • And that's why I chose that as basis for @OS1337 ...
What is toybox?

@elfin @tantacrul Personally I wished the heirs of #LeylandSmith would finally cave in and release the #SourceCode for #SCORE under #0BSD as an archive and then tell everyone to stop calling them about it ever again...

How I Designed a Free Music Font for 5 Million Musicians (MuseScore 3.6)

This video covers how I designed a music notation font for MuseScore 3.6, in collaboration with my friend Simon Smith, a professional engraving expert. Apart...

@innocence @delta @monocles @gajim If it was my decision it would be illegal to use non-#OpenSource'd standards that ain't #documented like an #RFC and fully #FLOSS'd with at least 3 independently written implementations under permissive licenses like #0BSD.
@freya no, they are going '(A)GPLv3 or die' and are pissed that #0BSD exists...

@katyswain I din't think that #CCSS is good either, but the demands of #GPLv3 are not compatible with the (adnitteldy shitty) reality of how #IP, #Licensing and #Patents work and thus it kneecaps a lot of things.

I chose #0BSD for _OS/1337 because as with any "intellectual labour", one cannot force others to collaborate and I'd rather have people join in out of the goodness of their hearts instead of just dumping some random git commit that is useless.
