Great to see that new Badgeware firmware has been released that fixes the FAT filesystem corruption that I hit a few weeks ago. It also adds a new `badge` module with some interesting new features. Thankfully, the documentation is also getting regular updates.

Phew! Reflashing the firmware using the latest image from https://github.com/pimoroni/tufty2350 got the Tufty back working again. I still don't know what caused the issue, but at least I can put my MicroPython coding trousers back on and get coding again.

Spent a few evenings enjoying getting back up to speed with MicroPython when my new Badgeware Tufty 2350 decided to lose its firmware and apps. Found the GitHub repo and will try reflashing the firmware tomorrow when I'm in a better mood.

Very important work by @conservancy , which tries to ensure the right of recipients of #AGPL (but more generally: *GPLs) software to strip disguised "Further restriction" clauses in free/#opensource software: https://sfconservancy.org/news/2025/jan/13/neo4j-amicus/ . It is unfortunately something that happens quite often on the market (even here in France!), where such clauses are regularly used by vendors to turn standard #FOSS licenses into #badgeware ones.

SFC Files Amicus Brief in Support of Users' Rights under AGPLv3§7

SFC filed an amicus brief in the ongoing case of Neo4j, Inc. v. PureThink, LLC, which is now appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The appeal focuses on a downstream licensee's right under the Affero General Public License, version 3 (and similar rights under GPLv3 and LGPLv3) to remove “Further Restrictions” — even when such restrictions are put in place by original licensors. SFC was proud to stand up for this important right under copyleft, and appears to be the only organization that filed an amicus brief in this case.
