@thelinuxEXP In some way what OnlyOffice did there is the enshitification of the AGPL, the AGPL normally was considered to be the more stringent brother of the #gpl as it required that e.g clients of a web service needed to have access to the source code.

Now basically adding additional rules to it as your video implies is like a cynical attack on the GPL itself. Considering that maybe OnlyOffice is powered by the Russian government and that there were strategies in the past to make concepts unattractive to people by introducing cynicism, doubt, fear or simply FUD into the believes of people, then it would not be a stretch, that this was intentional to manipulate Free Software as an idea.

Kind of like what Microsoft did for many years and which is also one reason why Microsoft Office is so prevalent.

FOSS people: Give FOSS license violators a easter surprise!
https://media.ccc.de/v/froscon2025-3280-quelltext-klage_als_verbraucher

Turns out there is a german NGO (or specifically eingetragener Verein) that is being build that has the goal to sue companies that don't want to comply with FOSS licenses.
Membership is free, they still need a few dozends of people to gain the right to sue in the EU.

Help in making devices getting community support for 10 years the norm! My phone is at 8 cause Xiaomeme's daughter company cared back then and released kernel source code, but they don't appear to listen to requests anymore!

Hang on. Doesn't the #GPL stipulate that any derivative works should also fall under the GPL? And if you train an #LLM on GPL-licenced code, isn't anything it generates a derivative work? In other words, does that mean that any LLM-written code automatically falls under the GPL?

Asking for the sake of mischief.

Sorry, going to be an Internet lawyer for a second.
ONLYOFFICE clearly didn't read the AGPLv3. They are saying Euro-Office is in violation of section 7. A logo isn't a legal notice so wouldn't fall under 7b and requiring the logo to remain is a "further restriction" that isn't covered by 7b so that restriction can be removed.

Are your WordPress plugins GPL compatible?

A little over two months ago I spoke at WordCamp US on the topic of "[u]sing a GitHub Action to ensure your plugins are GPL compatible.” The primary concern was ensuring that WordPress plugins focus on more than just first-party code being properly licensed and expanding that to ensure that all third-party libraries (aka dependencies) are also properly licensed. So that folks don't need to continually check for that in every pull request, using a GitHub Action to help automate the process […]
