Do you know the difference between open-source, Copyleft and FOSS?
Do you know what license you should use for your next project? Would it be better to use MIT or GPL?
I tried to distill the basics of open source softwre licensing in this post, so you can answer such questions.
Hope it helps, feedback is much appreciated!
Thanks to Hossein for reviewing it early on.

@Codeberg Sadly, looks like this was already discussed and rejected: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/385
I saw some discussion that licenses are not the best way to approach ethical concerns like this, but I don't quite understand why that would be. The license could provide a legal framework for enforcing ethical restrictions on the use of code, where other approaches likely wouldn't.

@Codeberg Any chance of getting the Hippocratic License v3.0 (https://firstdonoharm.dev/learn/) approved for projects on Codeberg?
It's not approved by either the FSF or the OSI because it specifically restricts who can use the licensed work in order to define ethical constraints on how it can be used. The license is maintained by the Organization for Ethical Source. (https://ethicalsource.dev/)

Oil Things Must Pass
==================[Verse 1]
Our governments are always warring
Killing keeps gas price at bay
Poor people’s blood, rich man’s profit
I just don’t believe what they say[Chorus]
Oil things must pass
Oil things must pass away[Verse 2]
We’re destroying all the natural greenery
No place left, for the kids to play
They choke on toxic fumes, while coughing
It doesn’t have to be this way.[Chorus]
Oil things must pass
Oil things must pass away[Bridge]
Oil things must pass
No human beings can last
So we must switch to solar power now, without delay[Verse 3]
Sunlight doesn’t cost a penny.
Solar batteries get recharged all day.
Planet Earth heated up, despite all warnings.
Let’s cool it, before it’s too late.[Chorus]
Oil things must pass
Oil things must pass away
Oil things must pass
Oil things must pass away- Ashwin Dixit.
( Thanks to George Harrison )

CLA или почему ваш PR в Open Source не может быть принят
Всем привет! Вероятно, часть людей уже меня знает, но всё же представлюсь. Меня зовут Михаил Поливаха, я являюсь техническим лидером проекта Axelix . Я уже какое-то время назад выпускал статью , которая поясняла, что такое Copyright, что такое лицензия в общем её смысле, какие типы лицензий бывают и т.д. Рассматривайте данную статью как некое продолжение этой прошлой статьи. Сегодня я хочу осветить такой момент, как CLA и почему в том или ином виде он есть у любого крупного Open Source-а. Мы также рассмотрим, как AI влияет на CLA и на принятие контрибьюшенов со стороны. Есть ещё DCO. Его, например, уже давно использует Linux, и Spring Framework в своё время перешёл на него с CLA. Но DCO, я думаю, стоит обсудить отдельно. Если интересно будет - пишите, я потрачу время, расскажу. В общем, без долгих прелюдий, начнём.

I'm hoping that Papermark will push their license vioation against Corgi in court. "We used AI" shouldn't be an excuse to appropriate other people's work.

What are the community's feelings on the Hippocratic License? (https://firstdonoharm.dev/) It seems like it's a good basis to try and prevent use of your code for ethically problematic things, and I like the fact that you can customize it with different modules. I'm considering relicensing most of my open source code under this license.
