It doesn’t really roll off the tongue, I get it, but it’s the best and most widely used term for software whose source is available to view but not modify and/or redistribute.

CC0 is awful for code. I didn’t understand why until reading this https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2012-February/001431.html (you can click the thread button to see the full thread as well).

• Many licenses like GPL and Apache explicitly say patent rights are waived and the patent holder can’t sue the user.
• Many licenses like MIT are believed to implicitly do this because of the language used.
• CC0 specifically states that it does not give you patent usage.

The only license/declaration approved by both the FSF and OSI for putting something into the public domain while having a permissive fallback license (for jurisdictions without public domain) is the Unlicense. If you know of others please let me know.

Fuck the OSI. They’ve done more harm to free software than any other organization. In the recent controversy with redis and SSPL, they refused to acknowledge the actual problem of the SSPL license, that it was unusable due to requiring all “software used to deploy this software” being open source. Does that mean that people who deploy software on Windows have to cough up the source code for Windows? What about Intel Management Engine, the proprietary bit of code in every single Intel CPU. Redis moved to a dual license with that a proprietary license. An unusable license… and a proprietary license = proprietary software. But instead, the OSI whined that the problems with the SSPL was that it would “restrict usage” because people have to share more source code. The OSI, and open source, have always been corporate entities that unsurp free software. Just look at their sponsors page and see who supports them: Amazon, Google, Intel, Microsoft…

I’d disagree with you there somewhat. It was all discussed in the mailing list. https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2018-October/thread.html#3603

I’ve dug through this and the discussion for SSPLv2 a bit because I used to disagree with their decision. The criticism is that it accomplishes the alleged goal of discrimination against SaaS providers specifically by doing what you’re saying.

I’ll check my notes some more, I could’ve sworn I had a link to an email specifically saying as much but I can’t find it right now. I’ll poke around and see if I can find it.

Didn’t realize you were the same user, I would’ve used different words so it didn’t feel like I was trying to reopen an argument or something. My mistake, friend. ❤️ I mean that genuinely. I hope you don’t view me as some thread hopping flame lord about this topic.

Edit: Wait, I wasn’t replying to you lol. My point still applies though.

As long as we don’t call them free, libre, or open source I don’t care. We shouldn’t make the terminology any more confusing for those.

open source but not free

You mean source available then. Do not conflate these terms, please.

As much as all of this sucks, the part where they said if this devolves into harassment they’ll shut the whole thing down is so valid. Let people enjoy their hobbies.

Yeah exactly. The Drive Sync hasn’t been too bad but OneDrive app is much more limited and I’m afraid to use it because it’s so flaky. Especially on non-Windows.

Awesome. I wonder if I can incorporate OneDrive easily. I’m on a family plan and have 1 TB of storage. Maybe there’s a way to upload stuff to OneDrive without the garbage of OneDrive.

Oh, is it like a Dropbox but without a cloud?

Well, I guess we’re a little past the year mark but I really like Lemmy and Jerboa lol.

You’ve marked your account as a bot but you appear to be a human. You should fix this in settings because some people filter out bot content.

What is it?

That’s how swatting works though. They don’t just call 911 and say “send police to this place” lol.

I have a hard time believing HDR wasn’t around in 2017 in some capacity. This sounds like a big that existed on launch, yeah?

Not everyone is terminally online, dude.

Wahhhhh this tool can’t do two things well, it should only be doing one thing well! 😭😭😭

Or as I’ve started to call it, GNU minus Linix

That’s the joke.
