  • Wait! So the author bows his head, says hey great guys u win. Watch i complied.

    Leans over to the stranger sitting next to him and says, hold my beer.

    In the same heartbeat, creates another git acnt, exact same commit history. And carries on. Some other author, totally not the same guy but oddly the same pgp public key announces they’ve taken over and here are the new urls.

    i call that mission accomplished

    this comment thread is like fight Money Mcbags and go bankrupt for our entertainment and for the LOLs and feelz good?

    Or we can just post the new urls and pretend it’s a new maintainer, with the handle lawyerdisappointed









  • AGPLv3 is not anti-business or anti-money. It’s saying if you want to use the code in a closed source project you need to pay the copyright holder

    The copyright holder is the original author, not a maintainer or someone who forked a project and renamed it.

    That’s why the #1 thing mentioned in copyleft licenses is you can’t alter the copyright notice and declare yourself the original author

    AGPLv3 is a good license to choose. All the other licenses are naive and do not combat closed source projects and the slave worker that keeps our projects unfunded








  • Step 1: all software has to be open source

    Step 2: governments, required by law, to fund FOSS projects in their tech stacks. Helped by organizations which trace project funding and lobbying to promote FOSS security by providing funding; a huge incentive to not insert malware

    Step 3: coders are afforded dignity (UBI); given funds geared towards affording a maintenance team. Regardless of country of origin. Vital infrastructure is vital infrastructure. Talent is talent.

    I support this move to Step 1

    Where is the list of pauper gov’ts which force talent to get a job rather than be a talent and then maintain their projects with dignity!

    Those jobs are mostly nonsense. Geared towards wasting our time building:
