I wonder what the best #OpenSource license for some unimportant hobby project libraries is? I want to allow it to be used in projects of any kind of license, but want to require any changes on the library itself to be published under the same license. There is #MPL (2), #CDDL (1.1), #EPL (2), #LGPL (2 or 3). LGPL doesn't allow static linking, and I want to allow that. Though when the library is a dynamic scripting language that isn't really relevant, I suppose.

@edboythinks personally I'm in the process of.migrating from #Ubuntu fonts to #B612 because they are superior yet more permissively licensed.

Sadly I've not found an elegant way to force #SunGalatDemi into the #Linux #kernel as #Console #Font and #license-wise that would not work (#CDDL is incompatible with #GPLv2) nor would it make sense as any machine that I can't #SSH into runs in #MDA mode thus only has the hardware fonts of that mode anyway...

RFC 9741: CDDL Additional Control Operators for the Conversion and Processing of Text

Le langage #CDDL, qui permet de créer un schéma formel pour des formats comme #CBOR, peut s'étendre via l'ajout d'« opérateurs de contrôle ». Ce #RFC en spécifie quelques uns, notamment pour agir sur du texte ou convertir d'une forme dans un autre.

RFC 9682: Updates to the CDDL grammar of RFC 8610

Voici une légère mise à jour de la grammaire du langage de description de schéma #CDDL (Concise Data Definition Language), originellement normalisé dans le RFC 8610. Pas de gros changement.

And by the way, given that the #YAML follows a #CDDL scheme, this could make a fine use case for some #CBOR-LD experimentation (something something CDDL shaping of triples).

The whole #GPL & #GPLv2 issue for example makes it basically illegal to build a #Linux kernel that can boot straight from #ZFS because #OpenZFS's code inherited from #OpenSolaris (now #illumos) is under #CDDL and thus when you install zfs-#dkms it gives you a big warning saying 'this is basically illegal so we've to make it a loadable module instead'...

And that's just out of the top of my head...

RFC 9165: Additional Control Operators for CDDL

Le langage #CDDL est un langage de description de schémas de données, notamment pour le format #CBOR. Ce nouveau #RFC étend CDDL avec de nouveaux opérateurs, permettant entre autres l'addition d'entiers et la concaténation de chaines de caractères.
