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 😝

Sony Tells Courts Any ‘Reasonable Customer’ Knows Digital Purchases Are Actually Licenses

Weird. When i checked my laptops #Windows #license, it said it was already licensed...?!?!?!
Checked with slmgr /dlv and indeed it was licensed.
Anyone seen this before? I never entered a license key and it is already a Win 10 Pro license...
Do the hardware have any serial numer that it goes out and checks license for on the internet or something?
Wasted money buying licenses in that case. Sure, i can use them with my VMs but still money wasted...

I actually had to train the model myself, because existing models that did basically the same thing didn't have licenses attached. That made the distribution of the model embedded in the browser add-on dubious. Well, now there is a properly licensed version - Apache 2.0.

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 )

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].

I’d be as good a king of my estate as any other King; and being so, I should do as I liked; and doing as I liked, I should take my pleasure; and taking my pleasure, I should be contented; and when one’s content, there’s nothing more to desire; and when there’s nothing more to desire, there’s an end of it.
[Tan Rey seria yo de mi estado, como cada uno del suyo: y siendolo, haria lo que quisiesse: y haziendo lo que quisiesse, haria mi gusto: y haziendo mi gusto, estaria contento: y en estando uno contento, no tiene mas que dessear: y no teniendo mas qu essear, acabose.]Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616) Spanish novelist

Attorney who challenged Trump's 2020 loss gives up law license as states weigh disciplining him
Attorney #Lin #Wood, who filed legal challenges seeking to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss, is #relinquishing his #law #license, electing to retire from practicing rather than face #possible #disbarment.
Multiple states have weighed #disciplining him for #pushing #Trump’s #false #claims that he defeated Joe Biden.

Poll Workers’ Lawyers Bill Rudy Giuliani $89k for Missing Evidence
Faced with a potentially costly #defamation #lawsuit for spreading conspiracy theories about two Georgia poll workers following the 2020 election, Donald Trump’s former personal attorney #Rudy #Giuliani is already facing consequences for refusing to turn over evidence in the case.
Following a federal judge’s order #sanctioning Giuliani last month—and ordering him to #pay legal fees #for #wasting #everyone’s #time—the poll workers’ lawyers on Wednesday submitted a legal bill in court totaling $89,172.
It's less than half of what they say they normally charge for the time they spent dealing with Giuliani's antics.
The final bill is up to U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell, who previously wrote that Giuliani “#arbitrarily #limited his #search” of an email server and “conducted only an imprecise ‘manual search’ of his text messages,” causing a #ten-#month #delay—only to later #surprise the opposing side with another 4,000 pages of evidence.
Giuliani was once Manhattan’s top federal prosecutor but is now facing #disbarment in the nation’s capital for having “#weaponized his #law #license to bring a #frivolous #action in an attempt to #undermine the #Constitution” in the service of former President Donald Trump.

Oh, this goes on in the world of #aviation, too. Just not in countries that have functioning governments and #regulators and #inspectors and #paperwork...
You go to various remote or isolated or primitive parts of the world, and you can definitely find the local equivalent of Billy-Jo Bob's Real Flying Airline, with a #plane that is held together with hopes & dreams, a #pilot who hasn't seen a #license form since 1978 and smells of #booze, and desperate passengers...
