Me siento un poquito defraudado. Todo este tiempo me hablaron de que el FOSS era la única manera de que el software sea seguro, sólido y auditable. Open source, software libre, GPL, MIT...

Pero hay un **silencio** incómodo en la comunidad: no se habla casi nunca de las licencias Polyform. El código está disponible, puede auditarse y mejorarse. Tiene un sistema completo de opciones que cualquier creador valora, por ejemplo: "no puedes usar este software para competir contra mí y mis productos". Es razonable aunque ¿adivinen qué? Esto no le gusta a la gente del FOSS, que insisten en que "si no pueden competir contra ti porque lo creaste, entonces no es libre" (sí, a pesar de que sea transparente, seguro, lo usen gratis, lo puedan modificar, sea colaborativo y comunitario, eso no importa).

De mi parte, me siento más alineado con esta visión y estoy planteándome usar estas licencias (siento que son lo que buscaba):

I also like the ACAB license

Quote: "No business entity where the ratio of pay (salaried, freelance, stocks, or other benefits) between the highest and lowest individual in the entity is greater than 50 : 1 may use the work for any reason."

but it's not really applicable to this project.

#software #licenses

Been working on an open source thing. yada yada yada - which license to pick? MIT is the obvious choice but has the big problem that it is ethically indifferent. If I do not want my project to be used for bad and evil things, what do I do?

Hippocratic License? Do No Harm License?

Thoughts?

Creative Commons licenses need an nAI option added to their usual SA BY NC ND list to explicitly rule out copyrighted work being fed to an AI for training. I am surprised this isn't yet a thing. The ArXiv should give us the option to add such an option to our uploaded material.
