Maxim Dounin announces the freenginx project.
As such, starting from today, I will no longer participate in nginx development as run by F5. Instead, I’m starting an alternative project, which is going to be run by developers, and not corporate entities:
I hope they will not switch to AGPL.
Is AGPL really bad?
No, it’s very good, corpo lovers however hate it because it cuts the hands of corpo trash and also lax licenses
It’s really good that I cannot statically link with something GPL or AGPL licensed without licensing my software GPL?
GNU is failing, in the rise of Chimera Linux.
Well, it hinges on your philosophical stance. GNU prioritizes user freedom by licensing every software piece and its derivatives under Free Software licenses like GPL. The advantage lies in creating an environment where constant license checks are unnecessary, providing a more streamlined and freedom-focused user experience.
User freedom?! When all contributions must also fall under GPL and you need to relicense your software to GPL to legally do static linking with a GPL library??
When the Soviet Union successfully put their State Emblem on the moon, Ho Chi Minh published an article to congratulate them, and said: (for words this might not be fully correct but I remember the gist): “While the Soviet Union publish all the details [about the trip and about the technology], for anyone to access, American keeps the details for themselves” (assume that Soviet union published because I cannot myself confirm that they didn’t do)
So about “publish all the details”, this mean anyone including corpo can access and do what the fuck they want. It is actually free software license nowadays. Software is science, and science should be accessible for everyone including the guy who want to make an atomic bomb.
If I recall correctly Richard Stallman hate copyright and he tried public domain, but get his code stolen by corpo and then he cooperative with copyright to enforce something restrictive called copyleft - the communists will not accept it since it can only break the economy. Vietnamese television now even recommend artists to do restrictive copyright on their works (but with my shallow thought it is actually to born out money for the economy). Choose wisely everything that benefit socialism.
Read the last part of my inital answer, it’s solely that way because no one has the time to keep checking licenses with software.
Yes it is, that’s the point
Look at the corporate exploitation of free software and see that Stallman was right
Chimera Linux is the point.
Lol some shitty distro used by almost nobody, and serves no interest other than corpo lover’s interests
At least I escape unreadable and unmodifiable GNU stuff
I saw your interest in Marxism-Leninism. Marx taught: Labor productivity is the premise for this society to win over the old society (poorly translated because I read translated textboot)
(Năng suất lao động là tiền đề để xã hội này chiến thắng xã hội cũ)
So the communists must learn to do business. Otherwise it is dogma, moralism.
Nothing prevents GNU software to do business, as already proven by quite many successful corporations. BSD and MIT licenses will only result in exploitation, e.g Sony and Apple who take fruits of open source labor and give nothing back. The bourgeoisie is only inclined to enslave the proletariat and it’s labor, GPL stands in it’s way.
About Chimera Linux is shitty, no, it is accessible for script kiddies since it use GNOME. It might gain popularity… some day… but I don’t think the day is too far
And enthusiasts will love it. But you hate it because you like to war on what license to use than to patch a bunch of software to make it work for musl (and perhaps, clang). You can only see they are “corpo lovers” but not realize that they are different from most linux by popularizing softwares that are unpopular if they are intended to be “superior”.
I hope you can get on realistic communism and understand that communism (socialism is much near) with infinite high tech is built on capitalism, and any communism that is not built on capitalism can only exist when people do not have enough food and aren’t developed. When you haven’t reach high capitalism (like Viet Nam) corpo + single party government that protect the rights of workers is the only way to do.
Lenin wrote: “The age of referencing books to discuss about socialist revolutionary credo has forever passed. I deeply believe that that era is over to never return. Today, we can only base our debates on socialism on the basis of experience.” (perhaps poorly translated.)
Actually, GNU is free software because it not only preserves the freedom of the user but it also preserves the freedom of the entire ecosystem. Lax licenses allow those freedoms to be taken away, a corporation can use that software to create a proprietary alternative and outcompete the open source one. With GPL, such maneuver is impossible.
No, free software does not have any restriction in any granted right, it is a requirement if they want themselves attributed.
GNU put restriction on modification and redistribution. Then they are just “open source”, then they have do define the term “Free and Open source software” which use more words to describe the same thing (assume free software = foss, because GNU always claimed they are making free software).
Much innovations is impossible.
And such long word for a license, I don’t want it fill up my A4.
