what an unbelievably gross bastardization of FOSS. how did tech get this way?
here's a great alternative that I couldn't reply with on the work-slack, for obvious reasons, lol:
just to extract a few especially-gross bits:
“• can be extended by anybody in public and private communities”
“• is commercially restricted by its authors”
"The fair-code software model promotes the use of profit as a means to continue development of software …”
"We believe that authentic meritocracy is still possible in software, and that software authors and contributors should be respected and have influence for their contributions to a project.”
"… we believe it is possible to respect the principles of freedom without being ideological.”
BRUH THIS _IS_ IDEOLOGICAL. god, i hate it so fucking much when folks' politics is to claim “i don't have politics."
@ELLIOTTCABLE I enjoy looking at these things. It's hard to come up with contracts that are at the same time useful, innovative, and enforceable.
