I've published the first version of the Kyrodian Legends Public License! This license is similar to #CCBYSA and #AGPL, but sticks specifically to characters, settings, and lore.

Copyleft What would happen when an AI model is trained on AGPL code? What happens with the generated code?

Spooky friday, and we have a spooky topic to talk, what about the Android project? Should we do something? Can we do something?

The pro capitalists are wannabe pirates. They want looting and pillaging to be legalized, so they don't need to risk getting arrested. The reason I prefer strong user rights being protected by copyleft software licenses like the GPL protections Linux provides instead of the nonexistent […]

@opensource.google I'll follow you if you champion all of open source including the #AGPL

Fizzy A refreshing take on cards, columns, and kanban.

#37signals launched a new service called #fizzy. Think kanban without being slow. 😎

It's kind of neat. And you can self host easily enough. With it being source available. I would've liked #AGPL usage here, but at least they provided something. 😅

Copyleft Won't Solve All Problems, Just Some of Them Toward a Broad Ethical Software Licensing CoalitionWe are passionate about and dedicated to the cause of software freedom and rights because proprietary software harmfully takes control of and agency in software away from users. In 2014, we started talking about FOSS as fundamental to “ethical software” (and, more broadly “ethical technology”) — which contrasts FOSS with the unethical behavior that Big Tech carries out with proprietary software. Some FOSS critics (circa 2018) coined the phrase “ethical source” — which outlined a new approach to these issues — based on the assumption that software freedom activists were inherently complicit in the bad behavior of Big Tech and other bad actors since the inception of FOSS. These folks argue that copyleft — the only form of software licensing that makes any effort to place ethical and moral requirements on FOSS redistributors/reusers — has fundamentally ignored the larger problems of society such as human rights abuses and unbridled capitalism. They propose new copyleft-like licenses, which, rather than focusing on the requirement of disclosure of source code, they instead use the mechanisms of copyleft to mandate behaviors in areas of ethics generally unrelated to software. For example, the Hippocratic License molds a copyleft clause into a generalized mechanism for imposing a more comprehensive moral code on software redistributors/re-users. In essence, they argue that copylefted software (such as software under the GPL) is unethical software. This criticism of copyleft reached crescendo in the last three weeks as pundits began to criticize FOSS licenses for failing to prohibit Putin from potentially using FOSS in his Ukrainian invasion or other bad acts.

@gedankenstuecke

This is a long read, but I think it has a much more coherent take on the idea of creating ethical, or political, and anti-capitalistic software licenses:

2. The government should lift the ban on AI regulation and force companies to focus on #ethics over performance.

3. All code generated by AI should be released under the most #copyleft license available ( #AGPL, I believe ) due to having been inextricably mixed with copyleft code.

#Redis Returns to #OpenSource under #AGPL License: Is It Too Late?

Stalwart Labs clarified that a fully AGPL-3.0 build *is* possible. You just need to omit the Enterprise feature flag during compilation. This directly addresses licensing concerns. #AGPL 3/6

Redis is open source again - <antirez>

After months of internal debate, Redis has returned to the AGPLv3 license. Salvatore Sanfilippo shares the journey and his role in the transition.

#Redis #OpenSource #AGPL

I don't entirely agree with the take that Redis relicensing to #AGPL means the #SSPL has lost; to me, it's more of a question of timing of Redis' move, as opposed to MongoDB's original move to the SSPL. More here: findthethread.blog/Licentious-L...

Redis just made a big move—it's open source again.
AGPLv3 is back in the spotlight, and “Redis Community Edition” is now “Redis Open Source.”

This isn't just a name change—it's a licensing shift with real impact on how Redis can be hosted and used.

Hot Take: The misinformation about the SSPL needs to stop.

If you disagree with the SSPL, that's fine.

But if you argue against what you think what the SSPL is, rather than what it actually is, you are actively harming the FOSS community.
