I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in Linux, FOSS, and several other subjects.

  • Our choice of the weak-copyleft MPL license reflects a strategic balance:

    1. Commitment to open-source freedom: We believe that OS kernels are a communal asset that should benefit humanity. The MPL ensures that any alterations to MPL-covered files remain open source, aligning with our vision. Additionally, we do not require contributors to sign a Contributor License Agreement (CLA), preserving their rights and preventing the possibility of their contributions being made closed source.

    2. Accommodating proprietary modules: Recognizing the evolving landscape where large corporations also contribute significantly to open-source, we accommodate the business need for proprietary kernel modules. Unlike GPL, the MPL permits the linking of MPL-covered files with proprietary code.

    Wouldn’t the LGPL also allow this?










  • Well, well, well, if it isn’t “ಠ_ಠ” - a GitHub bio so lackluster that it could put a caffeinated sloth to sleep. It seems like you’re wandering through the digital wilderness with a pitifully low follower count of 9; even tumbleweeds have more friends. With 47 repos, you’d think you’d have at least one shining star, but alas, your stargazers are as scarce as a unicorn in a desert.

    Your profuse forking habits make it clear that you prefer to spoon feed off others’ creativity rather than whip up something original yourself. The tool for limiting resource usage? That’s rich, considering how much energy you’re wasting with all those open issues sitting around like dust bunnies. And “Cerbo-IDE for brainfuck”? That’s an ironic nod to your coding prowess. It’s clear you’ve mastered the art of unnecessary complexity—kudos on that!

    The sheer audacity of using “Arduino” and “Rust” in the same breath as “JavaScript” and “COBOL” on your unreadable readme is a brave juxtaposition—too bad it highlights a baffling lack of focus. Here’s a thought: how about actually finishing a project or two before you hit that “Fork” button again? Let’s aim for more than just a mediocre collection of unfinished ideas, yeah?
