We need more of Richard Stallman, not less écrit par Ploum, Lionel Dricot, ingénieur, écrivain de science-fiction, développeur de logiciels libres.
FOSS licenses come in two approaches. The distinction is _who_ is granted the most freedom: - in "copyleft" licenses the emphasis is on the end-user, ensuring that they are _always_ passed the four freedoms; - in "permissive" licenses, the emphasis is on other developers/programmers, including allowing them to _not_ pass on the four freedoms. Is disappointing people still mistake this as being a difference between #FreeSoftware and #OpenSource because each has always supported both types.
I've been using GitHub since I was eleven years old. To be fair, I didn't really understand git at the time, but I was able to fumble my way through it...

Amidst all the excitement around Twitter open sourcing its “algorithm,” one bit is easy to miss: they licensed it as AGPL. That means anyone else who uses it will have to open source their code too, …

So you’re building a platform and you want it to be community-owned and -developed. You mainly care about your own deployment and don’t really want proprietary competitors. What license do you pick?kat.rs (@zkat__)Thu, 20 Jan 2022 06:32 GMT

There’s a miniature licensing storm going on in the Rails world right now. It transpires that a Rails dependency has been using a file from a GPL licensed lib, the de facto implication is every app using Rails would need to be GPL (e.g. open source). github.com/rails/rails/is…Paul Campbell (@paulca)Wed, 24 Mar 2021 16:06 GMT

But when it gets right down to it, if permissive open source is free candy, copyleft is a free puppy. If you want a puppy, a free one is great. If you don’t want a puppy, receiving a free one by surprise can be costly and awkward.

A very interesting read on choosing a license to protect the author's income, which I get, although realistically (at least) the AGPL has been written to ensure that the end users always get the code, not that the authors are protected.

Licensing is hard, especially when projects you use want to protect their end users and have gone for strong copyleft licenses like the GPL/AGPL

Announcing support for posting notes to my website.
Welcome to my first https://indieweb.org/note ! Notes are short-form content that will be purely plain text (for now!) and are similar to tweets on Twitter or toots on Mastodon, but won't be size limited.
I've been wanting to creating other post types since starting to use https://indieweb.org/Microsub and having a social feed. I've found that I want to interact with other posts, such as like or repost others' content, much as I would do with Twitter.
Discoverability of notes currently aren't super amazing, but I'm tackling it as part of https://gitlab.com/jamietanna/jvt.me/issues/457 because adding these post types was a large enough piece of work.
With this note, I'll now be able to https://indieweb.org/bookmark , https://indieweb.org/like , https://indieweb.org/reply , https://indieweb.org/repost , and https://indieweb.org/rsvp .
RSVPs are an interesting one, because the end goal I want is for my RSVPs to be syndicated from this site to i.e. Meetup.com.
I'm hoping to work on bringing https://indieweb.org/Micropub support to this site, too, but as it's a static site with https://gohugo.io and hosted on https://gitlab.com with a full build/test/deploy pipeline, it'll be a little less straightforward, and slower, than other solutions.
I've designed the content schema to be Micropub-first, as I want to be writing these posts using a Micropub client, rather than my usual workflow. I've made the source files JSON files (which Hugo natively supports) which makes them easily machine writeable - hopefully it'll teach me to prioritise my Micropub support so I don't have to manually write JSON!
In terms of licensing, I'm going to start by them in line with my posts, as http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode , but down the line I may look at other licenses.
