RE: https://social.overheid.nl/@opensource/116554773393178663
Although I like the point of departure... there are various #opensource #licenses defining what you can and cannot do with an open source.
So, choose carefully #government !

I also like the ACAB license
Quote: "No business entity where the ratio of pay (salaried, freelance, stocks, or other benefits) between the highest and lowest individual in the entity is greater than 50 : 1 may use the work for any reason."
but it's not really applicable to this project.

Been working on an open source thing. yada yada yada - which license to pick? MIT is the obvious choice but has the big problem that it is ethically indifferent. If I do not want my project to be used for bad and evil things, what do I do?
Hippocratic License? Do No Harm License?
Thoughts?

How to Give the Government New Power to “Un-Person” Someone, in Three Easy Steps
The big push for state digital driver's #licenses that we’ve been warning about is effectively a movement to increase the power of big companies and government to control individuals. One feature of the licenses most states are adopting that may prove to be particularly dangerous is #revocation — how and when people’s IDs can be canceled

TIL that audio/video encoders and decoders licenses are a PITA. If you create an app that uses a file format, you must pay the license per install if the format is proprietary. This cost is usually passed on to you, the consumer of a streaming service. I get that proprietary codecs may have come with significant R&D and offer value due to their network or compute minimal impact. That is why we use them. We often confuse open-source with free software, but they are not the same. You can have open-source and still pay for a service that is built on top of said open-source.
Flathub, elementaryOS are moving towards building a pay the developer model. If successful, we should see Linux adoption for services increase.

I am beginning to think that a lot of the OSS software I originally licensed under Apache 2.0, I should re-license new releases under MPL 2.0.
MPL is supposed to be nearly the same as Apache, except that it requires modifications at file level to be left as MPL.

Nothing in Commons: the end of digital collective ownership?
I'm sharing a new text where I try to summarize some older thoughts that have been slowly fermenting in the past years regarding the dead-end in which the digital commons have landed. I discuss the discomfort of their growing ambivalence, and the incredible difficulty, but urgency to move forward beyond this concept and rethink collective objectives in relation to digital tools and practices.
It is the follow-up of a copyleft/copyright/copywhat licensing workshop I gave at https://spookstad.boo. Amsterdam Alternative asked me to contribute an essay on the digital commons based on some of the topics discussed in the workshop for their web docu on collective ownership.
The text is also available in Dutch, thanks to a translation by Menno Grootveld from Starfish Books.

State #Barcode Laws
Digital driver’s #licenses — have a big problem that almost nobody is addressing: the likelihood that once they make it very frictionless to share our #ID, we are likely to be bombarded by requests from all quarters to prove who we are. That’s a huge threat to our #privacy. There is, however, a set of existing laws in the states that point to a solution for this problem: regulations governing who may scan the bar codes on physical #IDs.

Public repo with text of a "Read Only License" and nothing else in the repo. So, can anyone else use that license text in their project? 🤔
(No license info -> no license grant, including no downloading, but would it kill to include a LICENSE.md?)

I'm not sure if this is going to make a difference ( https://rslstandard.org/ )...
It's not like current #LLMs weren't able to read #licenses or terms & conditions before when these were not formalized in a "machine-readable" way (plus, besides licenses we already had the robots.txt declarative files; even if those were not as expressive as this new proposal).
So, is this extra work for web developers and maintainers? Are we going to operate under the new assumption that if we didn't do the work of implementing this then we are granting permission to scrapper bots to steal all our online creations?
Or can this be a net gain for creators in some specific way?

I learned today that because of the strong Moral Rights protection in the #Philippines , it is not possible for Authors/Creators (defined as "natural persons" by law) to dedicate/release their work to the #PublicDomain .
And even if we use 0BSD, MIT-0, CC0, and other similar public-domain-equivalent licenses, we can still sue anyone who:
1. Misused our name
2. Misrepresented us
3. Misused our work (downstream)All under Moral Rights because we can never waived it under Philippine law. Even with a promise not to sue anyone is not a guarantee.
So, saying, "This work is under 0BSD/MIT-0/CC0 and I will never sue anyone for whatever reason", won't work under Philippine law. The Creator/Author will always have their Moral Rights as the creator/author of the work. It's completely up to you to trust that they will fulfill their promise. 🤪

Very interesting results of #AAAS survey on researcher positions on #OpenLicenses. Note that I'm over 70.
https://www.aaas.org/news/interests-concerns-and-knowledge-gaps-around-open-licenses<blockquote>
* 42% of respondents — when asked what they prefer to do with #CCBY licensed content where they use it themselves— mentioned actions that don’t necessarily require this license, like reading work, or sharing it in the classroom.
* 29% of respondents say there should be no limitations on the #reuse of peer-reviewed research at all, with those older than 70 years of age feeling most strongly.
* 28% of respondents were concerned about reuses of work with a CC-BY license, largely related to possible misrepresentations of their work. Some cited concerns about misuse of their data for political gain.
* In general, younger researchers were slightly more concerned than their older counterparts about potential downstream misuses of their work.
* With respect to commercial reuses of published work, about 36% indicated that there are cases that excite them, while roughly 63% indicated that there are cases that worry them. The latter group’s concerns relate to the possibility of misrepresentation by media and other groups or individuals; use by unsanctioned entities seeking to make a profit; and training of #AI models without proper attribution.

#opensource #software #licenses are a completely underestimated topic.
Ran into someone today who said: "OSS-Licenses are a contradiction".They are not!
Just because you can see access the code and could use it - does not give you the right to do so!
Just as little as you can use the works of J. R. R. Tolkien or J. K. Rowling because you bought the book.
There needs to be a license that grants you usage rights or even better - rights to use, change and redistribute. #FLOSSI recently held a talk (German) about Open Source Software Licenses and the basics behind them:
