#permissive — Public Fediverse posts

#tangled is everything I wanted from a modern #git forge:

- #atproto based (this is HUGE!)
- European
- Decentralized
- Federated
- Social with #vouching
- Built with #golang and using a #permissive #MIT license

What not to like there?

#PSA:

Both #Linux the various #BSD projects are awesome #FOSS endeavors that deserve respect and curious investigation.

Both #CopyLeft and #Permissive licenses like the BSD/MIT/ISC have valid use cases.

Let's back away from the meme polemics and learn to respect everyone working towards freedom.

As you were.

@benjamineskola

in either case, previous versions remain available.

Correct. Even if the controller of the public #git repo takes it down without warning, the community can still fork the project based on the local copies of the repo that various people have lying around.

It seems to me like the core problem is not about using a copyleft licence or not, but about assigning ownership.

It's both. If you have #permissive licensing or copyright assignment (or similar), then one entity can take their ball and go home, closing all future versions that they make. If you have #CopyLeft and you don't have copyright assignment, then they can't.

With all this #Redis fallout, it is really bothersome to see how a lot of people that are vocal about #foss values keep confusing the licensing topic with the copyright one. No #copyleft source license would be an automatic salvation in such a case to begin with - because ANY license can be changed by the copyright holder. Go ahead and hate/blame Redis Ltd. to your heart‘s content for what they did, but please, stop spreading #fud about #permissive #licensing in general.

The Blue Oak Model License is the one that fits all my requirements perfectly, namely:
- it is permissive
- has patent and contribution coverage
- clear text, no legalese
- simple and modern template
- maintenance-friendly, with no personalized copyright header in the template itself
- no dreaded ALL-CAPS

Going to use it for all my projects and highly recommended to everyone else out there! 👍

Being rather picky about and unsatisfied with most #permissive #licenses, I am kinda on the verge of writing my own one... license proliferation be damned.

The so called "strong" #copyleft philosophy is deeply unethical and has nothing to do with protecting freedom. You can twist the definition to suit your political agenda, like some do, but ultimately - your ideology is hypocritical.

If you care about the freedom and making the society better - go with #permissive licensing for your next #floss project.

If you insist on reciprocity (non-viral) for your code, at least go with #MPL - the most sane of share-alike licenses. Don't go #GPL, pls.

#CreativeCommons, BY-ND #license (#assets do not allow me for a more #permissive one, sorry)

Feel free to share #suggestions if you have any ^^

Thanks, @conservancy I really enjoyed Miss Nicholson's talk @ #opensourcelx on the benefits of #opensource and what's the @conservancy role.

And such a good way to win the audience from the starts :D
