  1. Ah, yes, because who doesn't want to spend a whole 90 seconds setting up yet another "life-changing" tool that promises to solve all your problems with the grace and elegance of a wrecking ball? 🌪️🔧 MIT-licensed, because clearly, licensing is what makes software better while GitHub is screaming "LOOK AT ALL THESE TOOLS!" like a toddler with a new toy box. 🎉💻

  14. Open source license question.

    If I have some openscad code I downloaded that has an MIT license. If I use that code, modifying it, and then render out an STL file from openscad. Does the stl need to be MIT licenced? I'm guessing the openscad code would need to remain MIT licensed if I was to share it.

  17. Did 37Signals Just Accidentally Make Writebook Open Source?

    When 37Signals launched Writebook in 2024, it was under their ONCE License Agreement. Notably, that license "does not include the rights to publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, source code or products derived from it." […]

  18. Checkmate. The final #BashCoreZ #PREEMPT_RT test is in:

    On a budget 2-core Celeron N4500 laptop (250€), Max Jitter hit an insane **39µs** after isolating network noise!

    This proves it: Hardware specs count for little. The clean, zero-bloat kernel is EVERYTHING. We're delivering near Hard Real-Time performance with minimal cost.

    29µs on i7 vs. 39µs on Celeron? The difference is negligible. BashCoreZ RT is the definitive, free Real-Time solution. 👑

  19. 🚨BREAKING: Steinberg finally opens up #VST3 under MIT license, because who doesn't love a good licensing drama in their life? 🎭 Now you can enjoy your #open-source audio plugins while grappling with mysterious new MIDI 2.0 interfaces that'll make you miss the simplicity of the old ones. 🎶🔧

  20. 🎉 Oh look, another tech drama where Datastar claims to be the Mother Teresa of developers while sneakily sliding features behind a #paywall like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat. 🐇🎩 The "MIT-licensed and free" mantra is repeated like a broken record, hoping no one notices the Emperor’s new clothes. 👗👀

  21. Another reason to use the GPL software license, over MIT or BSD

    In short, GPL uses copyright law to protect you, as an author of software, from exploitation better than MIT or BSD software licenses do. Here we have a case of the Anthropic corporation using MIT-licensed code in one of their software products, which is of course a for-profit product. The original author of that code received no compensation, as it is not required by the license. So the author applied for a job at Anthropic, and ironically, Anthropic responded with an AI-generated rejection letter. Corporations like Anthropic seem to have an allergy to GPL-licensed code however, due to the nature of how the GPL license grants much more specific rights and restrictions, both to the authors of the code, and the companies who use it.

    Of course, nowadays LLMs can ingest GPL and MIT/BSD licensed code and spit it back out in altered form, essentially letting the makers of the LLM profit from your work without compensating you, so the GPL is probably due for an “upgrade” to prevent use for AI training. Unfortunately thanks to regulatory capture, and not-so-impartial courts of law mostly ignoring copyright law nowadays, it might not even be possible to use GPL or copyright to protect authors of software anymore. Probably a whole new legal framework is required first, and I don’t think this will be happening any time soon.

  27. @Red The MIT license is not proprietary. Just because it isn't a copyleft license, which the MIT license is not, just because it explicitly has "Copyright" in its license text, which the MIT license does, it is not automatically proprietary and non-free.

    The MIT license is compatible with the Debian Free Software Guidelines which means that software under the MIT license is allowed into main on Debian and not forced into non-free. It is approved both by the Free Software Foundation and the Open Source Initiative, and it is compatible with the GPL.

    In other words, both Debian and the FSF have officially declared the MIT license a free license.

    It is possible and legal by license to pass your MIT-licensed software on to your user community so they can maintain and develop it, and then for the new developers to re-license your MIT-licensed software under the GPL. Exactly this has happened to Friendica.

    Mike Macgirvin knew that the Friendica community wanted to re-license Friendica under the GPL. It wasn't a secret. (Proof: the short-lived Free-Friendika fork from very early 2012 that was created for there to always be an MIT-licensed Friendika.)

    Also, both the X Window System, the Wayland protocol and the Sway window manager are MIT-licensed. X11 actually has its own variant of the MIT license. curl is MIT-licensed. Both Gitea and GitLab are MIT-licensed. Linux From Scratch is MIT-licensed. The XMPP server Prosody is MIT-licensed. And Ruby on Rails, which Mastodon is built with, is MIT-licensed, too, as is Rust.

    The MIT license allows for just the same liberties as all variantes of GPLv2 and GPLv3, but without the restrictions that make all GPL variants viral.

    You may argue that the GPLv3 is literally the only free license that has ever existed because all derivatives of GPL-licensed material are automatically GPL-licensed themselves and therefore free software when published.

    I'm more on the side that the MIT license is actually freer than any versions and flavours of the GPL because it does not have any such restrictions and grants more liberties.

  30. "🔍 Kaspersky Unveils Scripts for Detecting Pegasus Spyware on iPhones 📱"

    Kaspersky has developed scripts to detect Pegasus, Reign, and Predator spyware on iPhones. These scripts, written in Python (100% Python according to GitHub), analyze the Shutdown.log file in the iPhone's sysdiagnose archive for forensic artifacts indicative of these spywares. Infections leave traces in Shutdown.log, especially in the path "/private/var/db/". These scripts, available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, simplify spyware detection by extracting, analyzing, and parsing Shutdown.log. Open-source and under an MIT license, you can find them on GitHub.

  31. Have you ever needed to download an insanely large #AGIS #basemap as a #png?

    Maybe you need to make a print of a map on your AGIS server, but no longer have the original. Or maybe you want a really hi-res image for a film zoom effect.

    Here's a tool to do just that.

    It uses your public facing AGIS MapServer endpoint to download each tile, then assembles them into one large PNG image.

  32. I’ve restored Jürgen Walther’s #Babylon #AIWorkbench system for #CommonLisp from the CMU AI Repository, released under the #MITLicense and available from #Ultralisp or directly from the #GitHub repo linked below

    Babylon provides a comprehensive set of tools for #SymbolicAI programming and metaprogramming, such as frames, productions, propositional and predicate logic, constraint satisfaction, expert systems, demonic metaprogramming via #FMCS, to build #KnowledgeEngineering based systems

    It’s basically an #OpenSource version of #KnowledgeWorks from #LispWorksEnterprise (although I’ve made no attempt to optimize or benchmark performance of Babylon against KW at this stage)

    Naturally I plan to extend Babylon with all the tools necessary for #ConnectionistAI programming as well

  33. I wasn't satisfied with #Sensirion's #USB powered #CO2 traffic light due to its hardcoded thresholds, so I built my own using a #RaspberryPiZero with solderless #ZeroDongle, #I2C #BreakoutGarden Mini #pHAT, Sensirion #SCD41 CO₂ sensor breakout and the #Pimoroni #LEDShim. All parts available at shop.pimoroni.com except for the Pi which is sold out.

    The code behind it is based on two library examples by @gadgetoid and available at github.com/xtaran/co2-led-mete under the #MITLicense.

  34. @1337core I wouldn't use the #MIT #licence because it explicitly excludes any warranty without any constraints.

    Assuming that #software licences are legally general terms and conditions, denying any warranty might, for example, violate § 309 (7) and (8) 🇩🇪 civil #code.

    And since the #MITlicence does not contain a severability clause, the #license might be invalid in whole according to § 139 🇩🇪 civil code.
