nothing ruins my motivation to send fixes to your open source project more than to ask me to sign a CLA for it. sorry guys I'm just not that interested in reviewing a legal contract just to improve your software for free

adhd people so great and fast at autocompleting they start wondering whether they're actually conscious

@flameeyes@mastodon.social Hrmm I'm not sure I agree. Many big tech cos are allergic to the obligations of AGPLv3 because they're afraid of having to release their otherwise proprietary software. But there are plenty of companies who work with and extend AGPL'd software... there are no blockers to me as an individual as there would be with proprietary software.... and it conforms w the Four Freedoms and Open Source Definition. IMO the problem is with big tech and proprietary software, not the FOSS license.

When I started writing and publishing open-source software about 15 years ago, I was pretty radical about it. I only used permissive licenses like MIT or BSD, as all I cared about was reach. Using a copyleft license with strings attached seemed to hinder that reach. Getting another A-category company

If you haven't been able to keep up with my blistering pace of one blog post per year, I don't blame you. There's a lot going on right now. It's a busy time. But let's pause and take a moment to celebrate that Elon Musk destroyed Twitter. I can't possibly

“Open Source Economics” and the “Open Source Economy” are regularly discussed in the context of how to improve open source software’s sustainability, contributor diversity and ecosystem quality. Too often, though, the use of the word “economics” brings incorrect assumptions about the problems to be solved.

Bruce Perens is angry. A veritable Jeremiah amid a throng of open source Pollyannas at OpenUK's State of Open Con 24 in London, the co-founder of the Open Source Initiative (OSI) and the Open Source Definition, railed against what he sees as corporate capture of the movement he helped to kickstart.
