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:
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.
