Well... I'm not migrating to a BSD soon.
Honestly, I want my next jump be to a microkernel-based OS, written exclusively in memory-safe languages, and with a non-permissive license that doesn't allow big companies to privatize the code and profit from it using monopolist tactics, without contributing back.
Maybe in my next life, I suppose 😝

@geerlingguy this paints the consumer more as a victim, maybe the real corp overeach is admitting they are basically proxies for gov't surveillance - willing profiteers, maybe almost as bad as the ai industry

Salvatore Sanfilippo (@antirez) and Armin Ronacher (@mitsuhiko) both argue that #AI reimplementation of #copyleft libraries is fine. Their legal reasoning might be correct. That's not the point.
Legal and legitimate are different things—and both pieces quietly assume otherwise.

An interesting #licence war is happening in the #Python world.
The popular `chardet` package has apparently been re-written (by assistance of the Claude #LLM). Undergoing this *version* change to v 7.0.0 the current maintainer has shifted the licence away from the #LGPL to the more permissive MIT licence.
I'm not a lawyer, and I don't know about the deeper backgrounds. While a complete clean slate implementation may justify a different licence, I don't think that anyone who's been maintaining a package for years can claim complete lack of influence on the existing code base. So a licence change from one version to another without consent of the (original) contributors seems wildly inadmissible.
Additionally, if the author claims a complete re-write using Claude, in many jurisdictions (including the US) AI generated content cannot be IP protected. So in that case he'd have had to remove the #copyright (c) claim to his name as well to be at least consistent with the narrative.
This is completely independent of the authenticity of the supposed statement by Mark Pilgrim (original author) of `chardet`.
I'm interested to hear what others think ...

"AI" LLM-based licensewashing of LGPL code ... by the project maintainer.
What the hell is wrong with these folks? Token go in, brain fall out.
Getting a program to "rewrite" your code doesn't nullify the copyright ownership or license terms of everything that went before it. You need a clean-room reimplementation from a bare spec for that, and LLMs *by definition* can't do that.

The proposal takes aim at the actions of #bar associations & similar professional organizations, not government entities, that investigate alleged #unethical conduct by #lawyers & consider actions such as #disbarment, which involves revoking a #license to practice #law [cuz, yeah, sane humans believe Rudolph Giuliani should still have legal authority /s].

Safeguarding Spatial Sovereignty in the Age of Rapidly Refreshed Machine-Readable Terrain

“The map is not the territory.” ~ Alfred Korzybski
“As LiDAR becomes rapidly refreshed, globally available, and directly ingested by machines, the question is no longer what we can measure.
It’s whether humans retain the ability to understand, intervene in, and redirect how those measurements are used over time.
This article focuses on spatial sovereignty, not as a policy position, but as a design discipline, and on why alignment with established standards is becoming a prerequisite for effective scale…”

Salut @Pyb en formation avec des offices de tourisme, sur les #communs_numeriques. Nous allons y aborder plusieurs sujets dont #wikipedia, #commons #panoramax, #OpenStreetMap après avoir abordé les #logicielslibre #license ...
2 points importants effectivement :
- le fait qu'il existe des offres / "rejoint" l'existence des wikipédiens en résidence (l'importance de WP !)
- évidemment le respect des règles du commun utiliséà quand des wikipediens en résidences touristiques :)

Honestly, reading the #PyNose #license violation report (see https://floss.social/@hroncok/112739484443101171) makes your hair stand.
For the record, it's about the person who took all of nose (LGPL-2.1) and republished it under their own name as MIT. Potentially also took a number of pull requests made to fix it but it's not immediately clear since the complete commit history doesn't retain authorship.
> Lots of nose made its way into pytest (MIT License).
Right. If somebody else took some code and relicensed it (potentially violating the license), then it's fine for you to take the whole thing and relicense it (definitely violating the license).
> Another thing: GitHub never recognized the original nose license, as it doesn't appear in the original repo's information section.
Right. If GitHub didn't show the license, then it obviously was public domain!
> I'll wait for a member of https://github.com/nose-devs to request a license change here (if that's what they want).
Right, the "sue me" attitude.

I just saw the new #freesound.org. And I immediately noticed one new feature I've been waiting for years: A one-click #libre #license
filter.Before, you had to awkwardly do two searches for CC0 and CC BY separately to get all libre sounds.
But now you just need to click on "Approved for Free Cultural Works" and you get a list of all libre sounds! Very good! 👍
This will be extremely helpful for #FOSS development.
