I'm Freedo, the official mascot and spokespenguin of Linux-libre. I'm the penguin who says no to binary blobs and proprietary licenses! 🐧🔓 #GNU #LinuxLibre #FreeSoftware

I like how I've gone full circle from angry teenage free software linux nerd through pragmatic use-what's-nicest apple fanboy right back to free software linux nerd again.

I think I'd have been much happier with my tech and work life if I'd just stuck with FOSS throughout tbh. Nowadays it's about the only software I trust.

Il mio Kindle ha quasi 10 anni e pensavo di sostituirlo

Ho iniziato a guardarmi intorno e ho trovato un articolo degli amici della Free Software Foundation #FSF che racconta come, ad ogni pasaggio di versione, Kindle diventa un device sempre più chiuso

I guess what Hixie is proposing is not in line with direction you wanna give to your browser impl? Not sure. But this intriguing. For a different project I've been looking a bit into - what I call a "#WebAssembly. Everywhere." paradigm shift based on #WASM, #WASI and Component Model.

(Very much in 'hype cycle' stage for early adopters with growing attention in corporate world. Not so much so in #FreeSoftware circles yet)

I'm told I need pinned posts on my profile.

I'm a #software #engineer living in #Saskatchewan, #Canada, the middle of the prairies. I've worked in countless domains, but find #python generally useful for many of them, and have been using it for nearly 30 years.

I'm a #HouseRabbit enthusiast and have had them for more than 20 years.

Good intro in how to use the new #fdroid libraries which were developed for the #NextGeneration #Fdroid client. @grote explains how #CalyxOS by @calyxinstitute uses this.

PS: Follow @fdroidorg if you don't want to miss updates from FDroid about #FreeSoftware on #Android.

The European Committee of the Regions has just adopted its position on the #InteroperableEuropeAct.

It has failed in recognising the importance of #FreeSoftware for interoperability. This underlines the relevance of the participation of the Free Software community in the Interoperable board.

https://fsfe.org/news/2023/news-20230524-01.html

And source code access, with all the permissions needed for Software Freedom, are core to that social framing.
#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #GPL #Linux #SoftwareFreedom
https://copyleft.org/guide/comprehensive-gpl-guidech2.html

From my perspective, I would rather companies *not* adopt a GPL-family license for their commercial products if they don't understand its purpose, and are willing to stand behind it in a social benefit framing.

#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #GPL #Linux #SoftwareFreedom

Perhaps this will change if courts agree that there are third-party beneficiaries—the software-using public—that are harmed when the GPL is misused, abused, and outright violated.

This is the question raised in @conservancy v. Vizio.

#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #GPL #SoftwareFreedom
https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/vizio.html

I think one cannot expect companies that adopted the GPL in self-interest to enforce the GPL in the software-using public's interest, especially if they have a business model based on keeping some versions of the same software proprietary.
#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #GPL #Linux #SoftwareFreedom

Some companies have used the GPL as a "community license" (like "freeware" or "shareware") not a "software freedom license".

The used the GPL for its goodwill and brand power from its association with #Linux and #GNU
#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #GPL #SoftwareFreedom

It's understandable that companies don't want others to be able to enforce GPL obligations on software that is core to their business.

After all, we've seen how some have used GPL enforcement for their own personal enrichment.

#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #GPL #Linux #SoftwareFreedom

https://lwn.net/Articles/882397/

Unfortunately, there are cases where companies have adopted the GPL for their corporate interests, rather than thinking first about protecting rights for software users.

They use contributor agreements (CLAs and ©AAs) that prevent others from having standing to enforce the GPL.

#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #GPL #Linux #SoftwareFreedom

Today, software users have little recourse in cases where intermediaries fail to comply with GPL license requirements unless someone that holds the copyright is willing to enforce the license.

#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #FOSS #OSS #GPL #Linux #SoftwareFreedom

@blakereid I remember seeing a speech either during @fsf 's #LibrePlanet or @sflc 's events in which one of the presenters said that one of the most important part of #AI is the training data or the data source. I think these and the #AI should be #FreeSoftware.

@bastianallgeier This! We also see that a lot in the #FreeSoftware/#OpenSource movement. Many maintainers and developers are first applauded and then often become a punching bag because they do not please everyone and - surprise - are humans, i.e. ask for money, work for a company, or have to make hard strategical decisions on the project's direction.

Eugen/Gargon or Lennart are good recent examples for this phenomenon, and I feel ashamed to see how they are treated by a number of people.

12/ When I discovered #FreeBSD and #Linux in about 1995, I was hooked. Hooked by several things: the concept of #FreeSoftware, the entire system being no cost, and being able to run servers.

Back in the day, #WordPerfect or #Word, or a spreadsheet, often cost $400-$500. Server software and hardware, such as Netware, would have been thousands. It was utterly unavhievable for the individual. Not everything was glorious in those days.
