Mô hình cấp phép "Named-User" khiến sysadmin mất thời gian kiểm tra giấy phép vô dụng, nhất là người dùng "idle" dùng phần mềm nhẹ nhàng nhưng để idle nhiều giờ. Đã bỏ lỗi mua thêm ghế, giờ chỉ tốn chi phí cho đăng ký không sử dụng.

This is a long read, but I think it has a much more coherent take on the idea of creating ethical, political, or anti-capitalistic software licenses:

Toward a Broad Ethical Software Licensing CoalitionWe are passionate about and dedicated to the cause of software freedom and rights because proprietary software harmfully takes control of and agency in software away from users. In 2014, we started talking about FOSS as fundamental to “ethical software” (and, more broadly “ethical technology”) — which contrasts FOSS with the unethical behavior that Big Tech carries out with proprietary software. Some FOSS critics (circa 2018) coined the phrase “ethical source” — which outlined a new approach to these issues — based on the assumption that software freedom activists were inherently complicit in the bad behavior of Big Tech and other bad actors since the inception of FOSS. These folks argue that copyleft — the only form of software licensing that makes any effort to place ethical and moral requirements on FOSS redistributors/reusers — has fundamentally ignored the larger problems of society such as human rights abuses and unbridled capitalism. They propose new copyleft-like licenses, which, rather than focusing on the requirement of disclosure of source code, they instead use the mechanisms of copyleft to mandate behaviors in areas of ethics generally unrelated to software. For example, the Hippocratic License molds a copyleft clause into a generalized mechanism for imposing a more comprehensive moral code on software redistributors/re-users. In essence, they argue that copylefted software (such as software under the GPL) is unethical software. This criticism of copyleft reached crescendo in the last three weeks as pundits began to criticize FOSS licenses for failing to prohibit Putin from potentially using FOSS in his Ukrainian invasion or other bad acts.

@alltherum Have you looked at #NonViolentPublicLicense & variations https://git.pixie.town/thufie/npl-builder ?
Personally like Cooperative NVPL, #CNPL, variation https://git.pixie.town/thufie/npl-builder/src/branch/main/cnpl.md .
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 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 ...
Why DuckStation is no longer open source (and what that means for you)
| 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 |
