@glynmoody I am actively in touch with the Software Freedom Law Center #SFLC about an adjacent issue. I think it's the end of the #GPL, but I've always been wary of the claim you can force people to share by fiat. Big companies use it as a moat now. Perhaps this will teach them, and real community projects can seek more traditional legal protections, instead of the corporate world's cognitively-dissonant interpretation of "community".

Strange to see Linus Torvald spending his Christmas Eve dunking on the only organization doing active GPL enforcement.

#SFLC has collaborated with other kernel developers, representing them in court. Their ideas are not fringe and they are not the assholes he paints them out to be. #Floss #Vizio

Ich erinnere mich noch, als der "#Sommerferienleseclub" eine so neue und gerade von der Stadtbibliothek Brilon eingeführte Veranstaltung war, dass er in bibliothekarischen Fachartikeln mehrfach erklärt werden musste.

Jetzt finde ich Jahresbericht von Öffentlichen Bibliotheken, in denen der nicht nur nicht mehr erklärt wird, sondern nur noch als #SFLC abgekürzt.

@F3715H @[email protected] I mean the #SFLC / #SFC did start sueing vendory for #GPL #violations on behalf of #BusyBox - much to the dismay of (fmr. maintainer) @landley ...

Heute startet der #SommerferienLeseclub in der #Stadtbibliothek #Erlangen! Vom 28.7. bis 13.9. heißt es wieder: Lesen was geht! 📚📖☀️🌴

☝️ Die Anmeldung ist in der Kinderbibliothek und im Bücherbus möglich.
☝️ Alle Infos zu Aktionen & Veranstaltungen gibt’s auf unserer Website: https://www.stadtbibliothek-erlangen.de/aktuelles/sommerferien-leseclub
