PHP 授權更新為 BSD-3-Clause

前幾天在 Lobsters 上看到 Ben Ramsey (PHP 8.1 與 8.2 這兩版的 release manager) 針對 PHP 授權從 PHP License 變成 BSD-3-Claude 的說明:「The PHP License, Simplified」。 開頭提到了 PHP License 3.01 一開始是沒有在 OSI 列表內的 (只有 PHP License 3.

The #PHP License, Simplified
The #PHPlicense has been retired, and the PHP code has been relicensed under the three-clause #BSD license, an #OSI approved #opensource license. The actual BSD-3-Clause license, with its SPDX identifier, recognized by the OSI, the FSF, and every major piece of licensing tooling in use today. It’s worth knowing the licenses exist, they’ve been updated, and PHP’s legal foundations now match the spirit of the language and community.

The PHP License, Simplified

How a mailing list question in 2020 led me to spend years simplifying PHP's licensing to plain BSD-3-Clause.

the boozle has always been a bad license template (the busl itself isn't a license). there are many things wrong with it, but this is one of the worst.

"source available" is always a scam.

#opensource #busl #osi

#OSI literally maintain a list of "approved" #opensource licenses.

They are very corporate friendly. More precisely, #BigTech friendly.
In fact, they refused #SSPL when #Amazon was among their top sponsors and adopted the much more subversive #CAL when #HoloChain was among their top sponsors.

Furthermore, I partecipated to the discussions around the #OSAID some years ago and I've never met such a corrupt environment before. They used absurd tricks to please #Google and #Meta and not include "training data" among the requirements, so that they could easily break free of #AIAct.

So, they are not just gatekeepers, but basically unregistered BigTech lobbyists.

IP vs MAC: The Journey from You to Google 🌐

Your PC to Google isn't one jump. It's many hops!

🔹 IP Address – Destination identity (stays same)
🔹 MAC Address – Next hop identity (changes every router)

Think: IP = Final Destination Address
MAC = Street Signs guiding you there

Layer 3 (Network) = End-to-End communication
Layer 2 (Data Link) = Hop-by-Hop delivery

#Networking #OSI #DevOps #SysAdmin

OSI Model – 7 Layers of Networking

7️⃣ Application – HTTP, FTP, DNS
6️⃣ Presentation – SSL, encryption
5️⃣ Session – Sockets, connections
4️⃣ Transport – TCP, UDP
3️⃣ Network – IP, routing
2️⃣ Data Link – MAC, switches
1️⃣ Physical – Cables, signals

Troubleshoot top-down or bottom-up!

In this case, the consequence is intended.

The #HackingLicense is not an #opensource license, nor it's intended to be one.

I don't care about #OSI #gatekeepers.

However that particular requirement (that's by far not the most heretic 😉) should be read in the context of the whole license/contract that is basically a dependency inversion applyied to #copyleft: the goal is to protect a common good from appropiation; the method is requiring (and providing) conditioned copyright assignments to the users, so that any derivative or dependent work can be used under the same license.

To sue anybody for using a work under the terms of the Hacking License, a company should first prove to the Judge exclusive ownership of the #copyright over the work. But if they used anything under the Hacking License (thus accepting its terms) they can not.

And since #hackers love recursion, the license itself (that must be distributed with any derivative and dependent work) is under the Hacking License... 😇

Quite an interesting forward-looking conversation on this week's #ITOps Query vodcast!

Outshift by Cisco published a whitepaper titled "Scaling out Superintelligence" in January that suggests that new standard network layers will be required for #AIagents and humans to work together at scale. It also began designing a distributed infrastructure to support those layers, which it calls the "#InternetofCognition," that helps agents and humans think together with a shared semantic context. In this episode, Guillaume De Saint Marc, vice president of engineering at Outshift, discusses how the project evolved and what's coming next.

In today’s episode, we’ll cover…

-- #Artificialsuperintelligence – definition and challenges

-- Proposed #OSI model Layers 8 and 9 for #agenticAI

-- The Internet of Cognition vs #Agntcy and #A2A protocols

And more!
