Heyo License-Chooser, does anybody know the difference between EUPL and GPL licenses?

I mostly don't really understand the license lingo, as English is not my mother tongue.

#license #gpl #eupl #foss #helpmeIdontknowwhythereareagazillionlicences

Read about why GPL-compliant reasonable legal notices and author attributions matter in our latest article: https://u.fsf.org/4aa #GPL #GNU #FSF #FreeSoftware

Released v1.3.3. of #Yaralyzer, my surprisingly popular tool for visualizing YARA rule matches with colors (a lot of colors).

1. --export-png images lets you export images of the analysis

2. almost all command line options (including multi argument ones like --yara-rules-dir) can be permanently set via environment variables or .yaralyzer file

3. couple of small bug fixes and debugging related command line options

You can try it on the web here: https://yaratoolkit.securitybreak.io/
(I didn't build this website, Thomas Roccia from Microsoft just integrated Yaralyzer into his existing site)

- Github: https://github.com/michelcrypt4d4mus/yaralyzer
- Pypi: https://pypi.org/project/yaralyzer/
- on macOS you can also get it with #Homebrew by installing Pdfalyzer: brew install pdfalyzer

Officially “made use of” the year 2026 yesterday, when updating the copyright year in the about dialog for Maps.

And also, btw added a source file with copyright year 2026 some week ago (a specialization of the Place class for handling “stop places” from Transitous/MOTIS, enabling to mark places from public transit itineraries as bookmarks/favorites.

These two @lwn articles are prime examples of why good journalism matters and why you should pay money to make sure it thrives:

They both look beyond the shiny statements from the different parties involved and outside commentators such as @torvalds in this case and explain just how it is from a mostly neutral[1] point of view so that you can make your own judgments.

* GPLv2 and installation requirements – https://lwn.net/Articles/1052842/

* SFC v. VIZIO: who can enforce the GPL? – https://lwn.net/Articles/1052734/

[1] We are humans, and even if we try, we are never completely neutral – and a publication like #LWN that targets the FLOSS community obviously will somewhat look at things from the view of its target audience.

We gotta get rid of MIT & Apache licenses.

Use #GPL, or better yet the #AGPL or #EUPL depending on your needs.

Why work for free, for the benefit of capitalists?

uutils is especially disappointing for me for that reason

@kallisti the #GPL is better for users' freedom because it ensures that also modified versions of the software remain free. MIT and other non-copyleft licenses can be easily exploited by others by creating proprietary derivatives.

I would also suggest #codeberg (https://codeberg.org/) instead of github if you care about free software.

Codeberg.org

Codeberg is a non-profit community-led organization that aims to help free and open source projects prosper by giving them a safe and friendly home.

> No, it doesn't. You can use any compatible license (e.g., Expat license).

[F/OSS 史唯: 우리는 LLM을 거부할 게 아니라 되찾아 와야 한다

F/OSS 커뮤니티는 LLM 훈련을 거부하기보다는, 훈련된 모델을 해방시키는 것을 목표로 해야 한다는 주장. GPLv4 또는 TGPL 같은 훈련 카피레프트 라이선스를 제안하며, 모델 가중치 공개와 훈련 데이터 문서화 의무 등을 강조. 철수 전략보다는 규범 설정과 참여를 통해 미래를 만드자는 메시지.
