RE: https://eldritch.cafe/@ergonautes/115933914956646384
On avait dit qu’on publierait les sources KiCad et FreeCAD du #Quacken après avoir livré le premier lot, on a deux semaines de retard, désolé ! On a eu des imprévus sur le #QuackMatrix, qu’il a fallu traiter en urgence.
Nota : les sources de la version 25.10 présentée au CdL2025 étaient en ligne depuis novembre 2025, et ce modèle est fonctionnel (je l’utilise en ce moment même) — mais uniquement en monobloc. Il nous a fallu trois protos supplémentaires avant de parvenir à faire fonctionner le mode split (25.11, 25.12, 26.01), c’est ce qui a causé tant de retard dans le projet.
En achetant le Quacken auprès des Ergonautes vous nous aidez à proposer des claviers à bas prix (magie de l’achat groupé) et vous participez au financement des protos des autres projets (#QMx2040 par exemple), mais n’hésitez pas à construire votre Quacken vous-mêmes à partir de ces sources ! Ou, mieux : personnalisez-le, améliorez-le, et partagez vos modifications avec la communauté (#GPLv3).

I just came across a tool to download+decrypt #windevine content.
Interesting in theory but looks abandoned.
What I find very interesting though is that it comes with a #EULA that summarises to "don't pirate" – presumably to keep the lawyers at bay. The code is licensed under #GPLv3 however.
Little known GPLv3 fact: If the software you received has "further restrictions" placed upon it, it grants you the explicit permission to remove them!
I would like to coin this tactic "#DMCA-condom" ;D

Sooo, I made some progress on automating shit on #Android to coerce #backups from apps, e.g. those that are not included in SeedVault.
Thanks to #Keymapper (via @fdroidorg)! This is as close as it gets to have #AutoHotkey „scripting“ on Android.
You don't even need a spare key: Just add a homescreen widget to run your script.
Maybe not as portable as #Tasker and different approach, but something to keep an eye on!https://keymapper.app

@dl9et I mean... forking a #gplv3 licensed software, giving it another name and publishing the sources alongside the compilated code is fully legal, but forking it, publishing compilates and ignoring the GPL with statements like "it's my work, I have all rights on my code so I can keep it closed" or something in that style... no, buddy, that's not how the GPL works.
(Relying strongly on an #ai being trained on, probably, masses of GPL-licensed code lets this sound even more... interesting.)TBH I lost track on what the state of it all is now...

for those who are in my discord server and want a feature added, there is now a showcase channel. it is located here or if you're an old geezer with an old geezer mastodon client, https://discord.com/channels/1373065266228891760/1474793878044282984 .
note: there is 1 very specific rule that needs following.
don't give me suggestions, give me code. I don't want to hear about your great ideas unless you can code them first.
not for any of my projects, at least. that's the cost of me making it open source, if you want a feature and you can't code it, then i'll delete your thread right away.
your dream doesn't matter unless you can make it concrete. and yes, there are guidelines.
first off, you need your GitHub username. second, you need the name and, if applicable, ID of your pull request. then, you need the exact link of your pull request. then, you need a reason of why this feature makes sense for either the blind community or the bot in general.
once you have that, I will get back to you, or someone else who works on the bot will, and i'm sure there's some public comments too. the only condition is that you not give me some proprietary stuff. the feature must be available to access by everyone. If it isn't, I'm immediately rejecting because the bot is a #GPLV3 bot. the license on the GitHub is a gnu public license. if it meets these guidelines, then it's possible it'll go into the main bot. also, if you're wondering why this is, it's because i'm not a company. I'm not Google, i'm not Microsoft. I don't take your feedback and go "thank you, we'll take care of it" and leave it empty. and I don't want your feedback unless you can solve the problem first.
in litary terms, I don't want it abstract, I want it concrete.
if you're not good at coding, then learn if you want a feature or use an #ai ide , yes, i'll except vybecode. as said earlier, I'm not a corporation, i'm a developer who wants people to develop. even if you're #blind like me, yes, you're not exception. you must code it and then showcase it. note if you do not want the initial release to be on discord, or you don't want to use discord, you can contact me directly on [email protected] and I will check it out. -

❤️ Happy I Love Free Software Day!
OpenProject is fully GPLv3 Free Software – across all editions.
But free software doesn’t maintain itself. It takes dedicated maintainers, contributors, and long-term commitment.
Thank you to everyone who makes it possible 💙

Can someone please go back to the last OSS source of #DuckStation and #Fork it? The maintainer/developer is doing many things that are questionably legal at best. (I am not a Lawyer, but I'm pretty sure you need more than a text change to change the license lol)
Like Relicensing #GPLv3 to #CC-BY-NC-ND among other things.
They're also being actively hostile to people packaging their Incorrectly Licensed Open Source Software.
I would do it but I don't know the relevant programming languages... and Honestly the PS1 is kinda weak for me as a console lol.

We released a few weeks ago a preliminary version of #FidoCadJ here: https://github.com/FidoCadJ/FidoCadJ/releases/tag/v0.24.9beta
I just updated the #macOS application.
FidoCadJ is an #OpenSource #GPLv3 drawing program with a large library of symbols for #electronics. It is appreciated for the #DIY in particular in Italy, but used (and translated) worldwide.
Here is the project page on GitHub: https://github.com/FidoCadJ/FidoCadJWe plan to release stable version 0.24.9 soon:
It's a good time to test it and help us with a feedback! -

Todavía me preguntaba por qué la navegación no me funcionaba (PineTime + Amazfish en #UBports). Al final, resultó ser AppArmor en Pure Maps (ahora hay una versión sin restricciones de la aplicación en la tienda). La navegación debe estar habilitada en la configuración de #Amazfish, y los recursos (imágenes de navegación) deben cargarse en #PineTime.

Have the open source and open data communities, including organizations like the @eff, @creativecommons, or the @fsf, given any thought yet to updating various #FOSS and other licenses to address the current #SaaS problem of code or data that isn't necessarily being "redistributed," allowing these companies to dodge the obligation to contribute changes back upstream? How about the privatization and unauthorized commercialization of material licensed under the #GPLv3 and #FDL, #CreativeCommons licenses, and other open-license content that is often scooped up regardless of licensing into #AI #datasets that are then put behind #paywalls?
To me, this seems very similar to the #Tivoization problem that led to the evolution of #GPLv2 to #GPLv3. It seems wrong that #OpenAI or #GitHub_Copilot can profit by putting licensed code, writing, or other data into a walled garden where even the original contributors that they rely on are charged for access.
I'm not anti-business. If these companies were at least making the data sets freely available, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with making value-added profit off of properly-licensed data, although examples like CC-BY-NC 4.0 are a notable exception that should also be considered. Companies like Canonical, Red Hat, IBM, and others have been making money legally off of open source software for decades.
Just because the label "AI" is slapped on something doesn't mean that companies should be allowed to ignore copyrights or licensing terms. If they want to do that, and licensing or requiring free access to open-content data can't prevent this land-grab, perhaps its time we collectively revisit the whole framework around #intellectualproperty that currently allows corporations like #Disney and uncountable #PatentTrolls to create ever-expanding assertions of property rights that prevent almost any material from entering the public domain within a single human lifetime.
-
@fsf Has there been any thought given to updating the #GPL or FDL to address the #SaaS problem where code isn't necessarily being "redistributed," or the privatization and unauthorized commercialization of material licensed under the GPL, FDL, or similar open licenses in #AI #datasets?
It seems very similar to the #Tivoization problem that led to #GPLv3. It seems wrong that #OpenAI or #GitHub_Copilot can profit by putting our GPL-licensed data behind a #paywall.

@hexaheximal case in point:
#Copyleft doesn't work in terms of getting #contributions or actual improvements.One can not really force people to do intellectual labour nor get them to share it!
But don't take my word for it, because @landley has been there and done that as the fmr. maintainer of #BusyBox and nowadays maintains a competing project (#toybox) licensed under #0BSD...
---
TBH I'm not against the #GPL, not even #GPLv3 because when you want to commit #AssetDenial it does that fine and I use it for that...But sadly #FLOSS doesn't exist in a vacuum and as much as I wished #CCSS to never have existed in the first place, it sadly does and worse people often depend on that shite...
---
So I do aim to #DoBetter instead... -

@BrodieOnLinux @fuchsiii OFC not - and not because they don't want to [tho I'd also nope ransomware groups' demands] but also because #nvidia can't legally do that in many cases, as they too are #licensees of #patents and are bound to #NDA's.
So #GPLv3 and #AGPLv3 are impossible to comply with and even #GPLv2 would be hard to.
Kinda like the shitshow #BusyBox did (gojng GPLv3 and sueing the crap out of license violators), so @landley left that project and started #toybox from the ground up.
