The second liberation: AI is the final frontier of Copyleft Copyleft gave us the right to be free; AI gives us the power to be free. The scarcity of programming knowledge is evaporating, turning the “freedom to fork” from a legal theory into a functional reality for every user.

The fundamental goal of the Free Software movement was individual agency over the machine. www.maffulli.net/2026/03/16/ai-final-fron... #ai #chardet #copyleft #gpl #OpenSource #SoftwareFreedom

3/5 Sécurité énergétique : 90% du #GPL indien transite par cette zone. Les destroyers de classe #Kolkata (Project 15A) assurent une bulle de protection AA via leur radar MF-STAR, transformant la marine en bouclier pour les flux de Jamnagar. 🚢🔥

2/6 L'enjeu est vital : 90% des importations indiennes de #GPL (Gaz de Pétrole Liquéfié) proviennent du Moyen-Orient. Avec 22 navires battant pavillon indien bloqués dans le Golfe, la menace de pénurie est critique à New Delhi. ⛽🔥

The GPL needs to be amended to state that it can not be used to train AI models.

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 […]

Salvatore Sanfilippo (@antirez) and Armin Ronacher (@mitsuhiko) both argue that #AI reimplementation of #copyleft libraries is fine. Their legal reasoning might be correct. That's not the point.

Legal and legitimate are different things—and both pieces quietly assume otherwise […]

Recently the maintainers used Claude Code to rewrite the whole codebase and release v7.0.0 , relicensing from LGPL to MIT in the process. The original author, a2mark , saw this as a potential GPL violation:

There is a silver lining to the whole #python #chardet debacle. If it is legal to throw a pile of code at an LLM, and tell it to write a new version of that code that is not a derivative then that gives us a lot of options too.

GPL compatible #ZFS? no problem! #ReactOS from the leaked NT/2k […]

Relicensing with AI-assisted rewrite Exploring the chardet v7.0.0 controversy: Can an AI rewrite legally 'launder' a library from LGPL to MIT?

I'm captivated by this question: How can we protect open source copyright if AI can rewrite? What will it mean for open source software if we can't?

The logo is a minimal and flat style icon. The plug shape is overlaid on a brain shape with plug slots. The brain shape is blocky with rounded edges, inspired by tetromino blocks. This is a light mode logo with teal, dark green, and beige colours.

This is a dark mode logo with teal, dark blue, and dark green colours.

I wrote a blog post about my process involved in redesigning the PlugBrain app's logo. I talk about open-source, accessible formats, and general Linux tips.

A cartoon with flat colours on a purple and yellow isometric grid background. Xue the mouse has climbed onto the mug and is looking at the swirling liquid inside. The mug is filled with red-pink liquid and the debian swirl logo is like a curl of steam. Tux the penguin is sleeping against the tea mug and saucer on the opposite side with his fins resting on his stomach. The Linux, XFCE logo, and Debian text logo are in two separate purple squares of the grid and have a light yellow fill. The latter two are listed as XFCE x Debian.

I published this Xfce Debian wallpaper I made to Pling and also made the source vector SVG available to download from my website (under the GPL license).

So I have a Digi CM48 terminal server, it’s pretty cool and uses an embedded Linux. Unfortunately its embedded Linux is ancient.

What’s worse is that Digi says it’s out of support so they “can’t” give me a link to the source code. Seems, uh, not very GPL-compliant.
