Little did I know #LinuxFoundation & its wealthy cronies were the reason my gratis upgrade didn't clear. #LF's got an event starting tomorrow in Amsterdam. My seat mate told me.

It's funny — as I head to #UndoneCS to talk about how LF funds research that distracts us from real #FOSS &#copyleft — I sit in the cheap seats while the capitalist sleep in flat bed seats up front.

It's quite the metaphor.

Yay, my merch order from @fsfe came in. That's a t-shirt and a pair of socks, all the stickers were in the package for free. I'll slap them on old ThinkPads for sure!! 😄 #FreeSoftware #Freedom #CopyLeft #Merch #FSFE

Copying Is Not Theft — a rousing free-culture anthem! Nik Phelps’s arrangement, Connie Champagne’s vocals, and Nina Paley’s animation make this a singable, clever lesson on copyright. Uplifting, funny, and shareable — sing along! #FreeCulture #Copyleft #CreativeCommons #Animation #Music #Education #NinaPaley #ConnieChampagne #NikPhelps #English

Next week, I'll give a short talk at @undonecs: Undone Computer Science 2026 conference.
This is a crossover event: activists, academics, & #FOSS enthusiasts explore issues CS researchers *should* be looking at, but are not.
My talk?: the unstudied question of so many Complete, Corresponding Source (CCS) candidates provided by companies— ostensibly to meet #copyleft license obligations don't, in fact, meet them — & no one has systematically examined them.

The second liberation: AI is the final frontier of Copyleft

Copyleft gave us the right to be free; AI gives us the power to be free. The scarcity of programming knowledge is evaporating, turning the "freedom to fork" from a legal theory into a functional reality for every user.

Sto lavorando alla pubblicazione sulla mia etichetta #SubTerra del doppio album del mio amico Daniele Mattioni, in arte #DM7. Si tratta di due bei dischi di #grunge - #folk psichedelico e spirituale, uno in inglese e uno in italiano, dal titolo rispettivamente di "Lunar Eclipse" ed "Eclissi Solare". Non vedo l'ora di pubblicarli sul nuovo sito della label, ovviamente sempre in regime di #copyleft . Mi piacerebbe molto trovare un nuovo pubblico qui nel Fediverso.

« Porter atteinte au copyleft est un acte grave. Refuser d'accorder à autrui les droits que l'on a soi-même acquis […] est profondément antisocial, quelle que soit la méthode employée. [...] Le logiciel libre repose sur des communautés d'utilisateurs et de développeurs qui soutiennent fermement le copyleft. »

L’IA générative se base sur des techniques prédatrices et néocolonialistes, nouvel exemple.

Pourquoi l'IA menace les licences logicielles

Comme le montre l'exemple d'une bibliothèque Python, les licences copyleft peuvent facilement être contournées par une réécriture du code dans une...

Commoning-Muster der Woche Mar 15

❓ Wie sind Abgrenzungen beschaffen, die Commons identifizieren und schützen?

❕Commons werden nicht strikt abgeriegelt. Ihre durchlässigen Grenzen sind keine unverrückbaren Linien der Trennung, sondern Kontakträume mit Potenzial zur Inklusion. Die Membranen, die Commons umgeben, schützen vor Einhegung, Vereinnahmung und Trittbrettfahrerei, aber auch vor ideologischer Abschottung. Sie werden nicht vorrangig staatlich kontrolliert.

👉 Die CopyFairLicense räumt Commoners mehr Nutzungsrechte ein als jenen, die Inhalte zu kommerziellen Zwecken nutzen wollen.
👉 Im selbstorganisierten Supermarkt Park Slope Food Coop ist nur Mitgliedern das Einkaufen erlaubt. Allerdings darf jede Person Mitglied werden, sofern sie sich der Satzung verpflichtet.
