@ploum

Ah !

Comment ai-je pu rater cet excellentissime article sur les #licences #OpenSource ?

Une (agréable – comme d’habitude) lecture indispensable pour comprendre en 5 min chrono !

NB : je cherche toujours un terme qui puisse remplacer « contaminante » pour les licences #copyleft, car je reste bloqué sur « se propage » qui ne me plaît pas trop (et « étend sa protection » – comme un vaccin ! –, c’est un peu trop long)…

@renan I agree with you in general, but there are some things that have to be said:

IP has four columns:
* patent
* copyright
* licence
* trade mark

Your points particularly address the 'patent' perspective, but also 'copyright' and 'licence'. However, the latter two can also be 'turned' to use in our favour for #OpenSource/#FLOSS (e.g. #CopyLeft).

But in the usual expression as applied by the commercial world, these *all* are pretty bad. And (software) patents just should *NOT* exist!

Continued thread

That's because executing, copying or loading into RAM computer code without the programmer's permission is a copyright infringement, and infringing someone's copyright is a criminal offence. Abetting or aiding in criminal offences is a criminal offence itself.

That could possibly even apply to #copyleft – if a licence does not permit the aforementioned actions for a combined work consisting of the copyleft program and a proprietary program.

As times go on, #Linux kernel and distributions are degrading.

Including, sadly, my first and only one, #Debian that I used daily since I mamage to configure XFree86 on Potato, when I was ~16 yo (if I remember correctly).

For a year now I was looking (without much time to invest) for a #BSD to try.

Today I think I've found the best candidate with @mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org's #MirBSD after I've read the Rationale of http://www.mirbsd.org/MirOS-Licence.htm

Back then Debian got my attention because of the values they declared, freedom and sharing.
Unfortunately over the years they were escalated and slowly corrupted, reduced to formal adherence to a social contract that can be subverted in practice.

The whole #FreeSoftware movement has been marginalized, while its values are strumentalized to fool users' trust.

Even #FSF is laying behind with #copyleft licenses full of loopholes exploited by #SaaSS and #AI corporations.

It's time to move on, and a small BSD developed by a passionate #hacker might be a good new starting point.

Turning modified or extended versions of free software into proprietary software goes against our goal of eliminating proprietary software. It keeps users trapped, denying them the freedoms they deserve. If you're modifying free software, respect that freedom - keep it free. If you won't, then don't make it at all. Freedom for all users matters more. u.fsf.org/user-liberation #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #Copyleft

u.fsf.orgUser Liberation: Watch and share our new video — Free Software Foundation — Working together for free software

I am producing and directing an animated series called "Lunatics!" about the first permanent settlers on the Moon, which attempts to be as realistic about this as possible, drawing on present-day technology, and much of the organizational culture around it.

It's a *free-culture* project: CC By-SA 4.0 licensed for episodes and most behind-the-scenes content. And an
open movie project in that source files from Blender, Kdenlive, etc will be released with episodes. For this to be truly meaningful, we also rely on *free/open-source* software to produce it.

There is a
#Pixelfed for the project itself:

@lunatics@px.filmfreedom.net

and of course, a website for the series:

https://lunatics.tv

and the project:

https://lunaticsproject.org

This is my "professional" account, so I focus on topics related to my project:
#Animation #Film #ScienceFiction #FreeSoftware #OpenSource #Copyright #Copyleft #Art #Blender #Kdenlive #CreativeCommons #FreeCulture #ShareAlike

I often post little progress reports and work-in-progress here.

I try to avoid partisan politics and other acrimonious subjects. Also trying to watch my language here, keeping it PG-13, let's say.

If you would like a less filtered
:monkey_see_no_evil: version of me, I do have a personal #Hometown (basically #Mastodon but not quite) account as well:

NOTE:
#Misskey allows a longer post length and also up to 16 images per post, which makes it a lot more convenient for my project posts. Buy you'll only see the first 4 images on Mastodon (there are 7 on this post, for example). There are subtle differences like this between #Fediverse platforms!
