SFC's policy fellow, @bkuhn, just posted a relevant-to-current-events article entitled “Dealing with Incomplete Copyleft Source That Doesn't Correspond”.

With the recent news about Bambu Studio's AGPL violations, this advice on how to handle a protracted period of “incomplete-ccs” from a vendor is very much needed.

Dealing with Incomplete Copyleft Source That Doesn't Correspond

Years ago, copyleft violations were often a mere misunderstanding; vendors intended to comply but made mistakes. In those “before times”, a simple request and short discussion often led to the complete, Corresponding Source (“CCS”) for the the distributed binary works (or, in the case of network-service copyleft, the deployed systems).

Absolutely correct for the general public. However, I believe that politicians, policy-makers, people in power, & elected officials should have their entire personality & behavior examined by the public. If something is suspect, they should be subject to criticism if necessary.

Also, personally, I want to be known as a whole person, not just “that #FOSS and #copyleft licensing guy”.

Un po' di storia.
A cavallo tra gli anni '00 e gli anni '10 abbiamo partecipato al momento d'oro delle #netlabel. Il nostro approccio orientato al #copyleft militante ci permetteva di raggiungere molte persone anche con un budget prossimo allo zero, perché internet non era ancora stato centrlizzato in modo così feroce dalle #bigtech. In questo articolo del 2011 #Repubblica parlò anche di noi, nel contesto delle emergenti netlabel italiane che facevano a meno della #SIAE.

Se la musica è indipendentele netlabel vivono senza Siae

Si autoproducono, sono slegate dai vincoli che regolano il mercato delle major e delle indies, distribuiscono le opere degli artisti sul web con Creative Commo…

OSPL stands for "Open Soma Public License" and it's a first draft of something specifically for vibe coded (or agentically coded for the posh amongst us) software. It shifts from just granting copyright to being a contract: By using or accessing an OSPL licensed system you need to comply with the license, in an attempt to keep the #copyleft aspect

There is a gaping legal void: without human authorship a work can't be copyrighted so in most cases it can't be licensed. With all generative AI you then are forced to distinguish which lines were manually written and which were "automatic". So when thinking of a license for my #OpenSoma project - to create a second order cybernetic implementation within #OpenSimulator - I decided on creating the OSPL, a license that covers the whole work, not just the human parts, and is made for these hybrid times. #OpenSource #copyleft #ai

#FOSS licenses and in fact most software licenses today assume a human is involved, but today when most programming can use anything from word completion to full one shot app coding, the legal foundation of #copyleft is shrinking and burdening developers with keeping track of which lines were written manually as opposed to generated via a coding assistant or agentic system. 🧵
