[Перевод] Лицензии слабого копилефта: могут ли они заменить пермиссивные (разрешительные) лицензии?

Среди открытых лицензий хорошо известны строгие GPL и (с другой стороны) разрешительные — MIT, Apache. Однако менее известен слабый копилефт, который находится между ними. А ведь эти лицензии имеют такие популярные приложения и библиотеки, как Mozilla Firefox, glibc, LibreOffice и другие. Подходящий ли это вариант для интеграции открытого софта с закрытым ? И стоит ли авторам ПО с открытым кодом использовать лицензии слабого копилефта вместо пермиссивных (если GPL/AGPL не подходит) ?

👀🛜 … an LWN article …

… about Denver Gingerich's #SCaLE2026 talk about the massive success of the #OpenWrt One — the 1ˢᵗ official hardware wireless router from #SFC & its OpenWrt project. The One is a shining example that proves: “if you plan for #copyleft compliance from the start, sourcing & releasing a product with correct Complete, Corresopnding Source (#CCS) from Day 0 is trivial.”

#GHC s #wasm backend,native uses the native bignum backend and the wasm native #codegen Compared to the #gmp flavour, the run-time performance may be slightly worse if the workload involves big Integer operations. May be useful if you are compiling proprietary projects and have concerns about statically linking the #LGPL-licensed gmp library.
Besides wasm MVP, certain extensions are used. The feature flags are enabled globally in our wasi-sdk build, passed at GHC configure time, and the wasm NCG may make use of the features. The rationale of post-MVP wasm feature inclusion:
Non-browser non-JavaScript runtimes

wasmtime
wasmedge
toywasm
wasmi

Non-browser #JavaScript runtimes

node, using the builtin wasi module to provide WASI implementation
bun, using the builtin WASI implementation
deno, using a legacy WASI implementation in std
#browsers

WASI spec includes certain syscalls that are provided as the wasi_snapshot_preview1 wasm imports. Additionally, the current WASI ABI specifies two different kinds of WASI modules: commands and reactors.
When linking a program for almost any platform out there, the linker needs to handle ctors(constructors) & dtors(destructors). ctors and dtors are special functions that need to be invoked to correctly initialize/finalize certain runtime state. Even if the user program doesn't use ctors/dtors, as long as the program links to libc, ctors/dtors will need to be handled.

Add --export flag for malloc/free. You can now allocate and free linear memory buffers that can be visible to the Haskell world, since the entire linear memory is available as the memory export.
In the #Haskell world,

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!

Folks asked me about #chardet #LGPL situation. @corbet (on @lwn) published https://lwn.net/Articles/1061534/ it; everyone should read that.

Afterwards, take a 👀 at my comment on chardet's issue tracker:
https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/355#issuecomment-4145369025

TL;DR: I'm leading an effort at @conservancy to analyze this situation. The results will be published. It will take a long time — for good reason. Meanwhile, anyone using chardet commercially should call their lawyer.

Most of the discussions about the impact of the latest generative AI systems on copyright have centred on text, images and video. That’s no surprise, since writers, artists and film-makers feel very strongly about their creations, and members of the public can relate easily to the issues that AI raises for this kind of creativity. But there’s another creative domain that has been massively […]
