There is a special #circle of #hell for #OpenSource projects which do not actually indicate which license they use, or even that they are, in fact, open source, anywhere in their #documentation or public #website.

I just wasted ten minutes looking for "what license is this #project?" before resigning myself to having to check the code #repository.

They didn't even list the license in their compare-to-other-similar-projects on their About page.

Sheesh.

Automattic is doing open source dirty

Automattic demanding 8% of WP Engine's revenues because they're not "giving back enough" to WordPress is a wanton violation of general open source ideals and the specifics of the GPL license. Automattic is completely out of line, and the potential damage to the open source world extends far beyond the WordPress. Don't let the drama or ...

Would you ever use open-source software with an "opinionated" license like the OQL?

(For this poll, assume that the license terms are not personally offensive and do not exclude you.)

#OpenSource #OSS #FOSS #SoftwareLicense #Software
Yes
No, I don't use opionated licenses
No, I only use OSI-approved licenses
No, I only use specific licenses
Other / it's complicated
IDK / IDC / just show results
Poll ends at .
Opinionated Queer License

This license doesn't meet the definition of open source or the definition of free software. And I don't care. I don't want my work to be freely used – I want it used for good.

uggghhhhhh I finally have to license something

I’m not naive; a license is as effective as pissing in the wind if you don’t have the means to enforce it. Still, any recommendation on licenses to make it as difficult as possible for people like Palmer Luckey or dtolnay to benefit from it, in general??

Permissive is good, I don’t care whether it matches a libertarian definition of “open”.

Doing a clean install on macOS is a LOT of work. But @RogueAmoeba give me joy when I register my licenses. I smile every single time. And it’s even accessible!

Honorable mentions to @KeyboardMaestro for audibly saying, “thanks!” and to @shottr_cc@mastodon.social for throwing confetti (but no sound!)
