@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.

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.

@[email protected] 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).
