Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing.

I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink, more so here on the fediverse than anywhere else.
But I'm scared and tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.
@erlend this is such a good article.
I'm really happy to have stubbornly clung to licensing @conjured_ink's software under Parity 7.0 but I also agree that it's insufficient: the reason it works is largely because it scares of most of the undesirables by virtue of scaring off the Capitalists. Our answer to nazis and other horrible people using our software, though, is "we will literally not help you, we will shame you, and we will cook in landmines if we have to that you have to constantly patch out if you want to keep using our latest versions". Can't stop 'em completely but we can make it really annoying
