At the Dolibarr session at #msc2026 @joseplluisat presents the background of Dolibarr, how it started in France, with a foundation setup in 2009. Every year around this time there is a new version. #gplv3
A modular, web-based program based in PHP. @dolibarr
@femprocomuns offers a cooperative service for members through Commonscloud.coop
The short name they use for their friendly tool: "la Doli" ;-)

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.

@hkrn #MIT license - AFAIK - isn't #copyleft, unlike the #GPL / #GPLv2 / #GPLv3 or #CreativeCommons #ShareAlike...

Dear #freesoftware #legal community: I need some help finding comments on #GPLv3 #tivoization clause and whther the term "user product" covers the case of your company handing out devices to you as a work tool.
I need to convice someone that they don't have to give their employees root access on in-house devices (mobile phones).
