@juliewebgirl I've had the privilege of telling Bono to go Fook Hisself vis-a-vis Making TelCos log All traffic (trillions in disk, NSA's job, not mine) to stop torrents to protect a few million of his "intellectual property".
Nah, says I. *Literally spit*
Bono is a little copyright bitch.
PTSD that.

A large majority of people confuse privacy with data protection. And lately I'm noticing an uproar of ideologies that claim to be pro-freedom in one way or another, but which threaten freedom as a whole. I think there is a certain copyright mentality to them. Certain misunderstanding of ownership which makes fighting for freed...

@slashdot The three knights of the apocalypse.
#SteveBallmer was one of the worst things that happened to the software industry.

"He maintained that his comments in 2001 were right at the time but that times have changed."
Not thanks to him. And #Microsoft does not use #Copyleft licenses in their works, like most corporations, including #Google.
Had it not been a monopoly, Microsoft would have disappeared.

The dedication of @rms to the GNU project and his work on copyleft licenses have made a profound impact on the software world. Through the GPL, RMS has ensured that software users retain essential freedoms - freedoms to use, study, change and share. #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #GPL #Copyleft

@bkuhn any advice for choosing #copyleft #licenses for #Rust code?
In a recent thread you mentioned #LGPL and I'm curious about templating.
In my understanding it's not possible for the user to replace just the LGPLd library on their system, so it's effectively the same as #GPL .
I chose #MPL 2.0 instead.
Same problem exists in C++ template-only libraries, but I found no ultimate guide.
Are you aware of any?
You all have the right to write #FreeSoftware, and you write whatever you want.
And when you look at what software other people are writing, keep it in mind, that they have the right to write whatever software they feel like.
They even have all rights to license it under #MIT or #BSD licenses, because everyone has the right to make objectively wrong decisions, too

@burnoutqueen the problem is that #enforcing #copyleft doesn't get you a single line of code improvements.
In an ideal world it would, but we all know that's not the case.
Now #uutil is going to replace #coreutils ? Not trusting that one bit.
The core utilities of any given #operatingsystem, as well as the kernel, display protocol, etc, etc, etc should NEVER be up to #liberal #licensing like #MIT or #BSD.
For total power to the user, the fundamental technological stack should be #copyleft, because we should have #legal expectations towards vendors.
This is also from the system that brought you #snaps. #canonical wants a #walledgarden and it shows.
#Copyleft means "power to the user". That is certain expectations are #legally expected of companies and organizations that partake in the code, and those expectations are levied in the users interests.
That is you are expected to contribute back improvements and not put them behind a paywall. This makes #copyleft is anti #freemium by default.
There are plenty of companies that try to slip one by, but in the fundamental software that's in all of our computers? That's historically a bad idea.
Watching a video that makes a bad case against #uutils - so here I go.
I don't care if you run #commercial #software like #videogames and #musicsoftware , because certain software is so huge and complex that it requires return on investment.
There's also something to be said for #MIT and #BSD licenses in general software, #CC even.
But when it comes to the fundamental software you run, like kernel or essential userland commands, it's gotta be #GPL - if not some other #copyleft license. Why?
