Grsecurity did the same thing with their kernel patch. Used to be GPL. Now it's GPL+N(o redistribution).

RMS completely agrees that you can make a patch of the linux kernel and GCC and distribute it under any license you want.
(See image attached)
It can be completely proprietary if you want.

All of us who wrote GPL'd code after Linus Torvalds and Richard Matthew Stallman told us, when we were 12 and 13, that they would prosecute (even criminally) anyone that violated the copyrights on Linux, GCC, etc, and that any changes to GPL'd works eventually came back to the author.

That is what they said THEN.
That is what they promised US.

NOW they say something else.
But they fradulently induced us to program for free software by claiming they would protect the copyrights.
Linus said it on video.

Stallman used to say how the GPL was designed so that the source code would always be free; because if you distributed it at all; the source had to be obtainable; and it would in short order make it's way out to the wider world.

Now he says unchacteristic shit and dodges the questions.

Zoomers are incapable of experiencing passion. Creating something for fun is incomprehensible for them. They will not move their finger unless doing so would bring them money or fame on social media.
That's why we see so many game modders, FOSS developers, etc starting patreons, locking content behind paywalls and whining anytime someone uses their shit for a project without asking.

Back in my days nothing of sorts was happening. But when I was leaving modding for other areas of programming the shift of mentality was so obvious. That's when gmodstore was becoming a thing and it feel so weird to me that people want to make money of modding someone's else game. Nothing of sort was a thing before, but right after I left it seemed like everything changed. A zoomer friend of mine entered the scene where everyone who could would try to make money and he as a teen made quite a sum from selling his mods. Not much longer than that Bethesda started experimenting with paid mods and shit, and things propagated to Minecraft, etc. Seeing at S&box fan base gave me impression that everyone is just waiting for this to be released so they can start profiting of modding it.
Where are the times where people would just create something huge like Wiremod and just have fun with it? Realistic texture pack for Minecraft? Gotta pay for it. Some nice shaders? Gotta pay for it. Want water simulation? Pay or wait for your turn.
It's so tiresome.

>>106461920

Depends on how it's done. If you are selling your mods or if you are larping as FOSS while doing various tactics to get people to pay you then yeah it's wrong. It corrupts the hobbyist spaces.
Of course a zoomer who was raised in this commercialized and proprietary environment wouldn't realize it.

If you do not have time to maintain your mod, just make it FOSS. There will be a lot of people who are willing to help you maintain and expand your mod for free. You won't have to do anything but check PRs every now and then, it's that simple. Many great mods, frameworks or utilities work this way.
But of course this won't bring you fame and money so this option is out of question for zoomers. They NEED tangible returns or they won't do shit and that's the problem.

>>106462551
Of course not. You are free to project your favourite sexual degeneracy on any technology you want.

Imagine being so obsessed with porn that you look at license and think about fetishes.

>>106462551
GPL is the true cuck license.
With a permissively licensed project corpos will just take the code and leave you the fuck alone.
With a copyleft project they will take over by injecting their own contributors and maintainers, making sure the project's development serves themselves.

>>106461985
>but at least they can't take your code, slap their logo on it add some extensions then sell it without publishing source code.
They absolutely can,and they do it all the time. Fuck you gon do, sue them? Good luck, they will either hire the best lawyers or just get rid of you (by suiciding you with 6 bullets in the back of your head).

>>106462585
The point of free software is user freedom, not github good-boy points or how many lines of your code are being used by lockheed martin to atomize civilians. The only meaningful difference between the two in your fantasy is that users, individuals trying to solve their own problems, benefit less.

>Bear Blog has been built as a platform and not as an individual blog generator. It is more like Substack than Hugo. Due to this it isn't possible to individually self-host a Bear Blog.
So, what the fuck is this project for again? I unironically don't get it. I thought it was going to be a small self-hosted CMS for blogs or something.
It's a huge red flag if a dev can't explain what the project is in a single sentence or a short paragraph.

>>106465695
Why does something big need to be much different than something small? Sounds like creeping featuritis.

>>106465730
I don't care if it's big or small, you should still able to explain what it is.

>>106461556
i mean, you would think that people would have the common decency to not compete with his business because they are already getting the software for free, they can host it for themselves if they want. it makes me sad that we have to distrust other developers like that, aws made jeffing open source projects popular and it's probably too late to stop this transition to a low trust community

BSD is superior, GLP's vulnerable to tricks like when Salesforce conspired with globohomo to oust RMS. Or worse you end up like the Debian founder. With BSD they just take the code and leave you alone.

What's the business model here? It's a free service.
Is he afraid of losing credit if people just self host or does he actually makes money from the data people store on his instance?

>>106466064
Copyleft doesn't stop people from hosting their own instances or forking the code.

>>106466100
He wanted to sell it off. That's the goal of these types of projects these days. Or get a bunch of angel investor money.

i never understood the licences thing
like who is enforcing them?
why do I need to obey them?
who will punish me if do whatever I want?
it seems its just dev putting some text and calling it law

https://herman.bearblog.dev/manifesto/

it's not like this modest business model is going to make them rich, which is why i find it pretty sad that other developers see this as a weakness to be exploited instead of a commendable thing in the spirit of open source. i guess we'll see more agpl and comparable licenses in the future

>>106463791
Well that is how it is. If you want to see how quickly a fresh uni student ditches the commie garbage the professors fill their heads with.

Supposedly the EEF will sue your ass.
But they have never done it and EULA's and other licenses have never really been challenged in a court to that big of a degree.
It is why the Changs and Chinks in China can rip your code, and sell it and you cannot do shit other than have a public melty about it.
What you going to sue XI? He would have you killed before the paperwork ink dried.

wasnt there some drama about the mongodb license and related concepts about hosted services? like the FSF said in order for it to be a free license it CANT force all derived SAAS to also be the same license (which is ironic since youd think endorsing the gpl would mean they always like the strongest language to latch forks in but not in the case of services apparently, I dont know, it kind of confused me)

anyway yeah I dont know why that guy chose the MIT anyway. GPL is more forcefully free, and like I said I think mongodb license is extremely forcefully free and more self replicating so he should have gone with that. I guess elastic search is like that?

>>106466250
if you judge everything by how much use it is to you personally, then yes. in my experience, that personality trait doesn't lead to a very fulfilling life, you'll constantly look at how much others have and fear that they will take it away. learn to give without expecting anything in return and the world doesn't look so bleak anymore. but that's for suckers, right? let's exploit some idealists, that will improve things for sure

>>106461420
>Decide to license the software with a cuck license

Why are people so utterly braindead?
Like didn't he know if he releases the code as open source, people would fork his code and release it on their own?
Plus, is that mockery of a license even enforceable by law, same shit with all the other source available software?

It isn't "more self-replicating" or "free". There have been 0 pieces of unrelated software that have ever been "liberated" by the mongo cock cage. The purpose of these licenses is to prohibit competitors from using it, there's nothing free as in freedom abou it.

Nah, GPL is only losing on popularity.
Most people just write code because they like it or because they need some shit fixed/improved and give very little fucks about who uses their code.

GPL doesn't forbid forking your code.

Holy sneed.

I read a thread about this yesterday on HackerNews and considered asking /g/ what would be the ideal AGPLv3 like license but one that prevents a lazy asshole cloning my repo and hosting a competitor. The bear license is MIT, and I don't want a cuck license.

Why are people licensing their code under any license that isn't all rights reserved?

>>106467796
anything +NIGGER, practically speaking. I’m also considering going the extra route and writing a modified AGPLv3 that has an extra clause that says the virality of the base license also applies to using the code as AI/LLM training data because fuck those faggots

MIT isn't retroactive, so older versions of the source code from before he changed the licence will remain free to use and I suspect the community will latch onto a libre fork.

>Rothschild Patent Imaging v. GNOME Foundation (2019 – 2022)
>In 2019, Florida‑based Rothschild Patent Imaging (RPI) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the GNOME Foundation in relation to user features provided by the Shotwell image organizer.[10]:251–252 More specifically, RPI claimed that Shotwell infringed United States patent US 9936086 said to be directed to the use of WiFi communications to selectively transfer photographic images between a camera and a computer and demanded US$75000 in settlement.[12][13][14] GNOME sought help and was represented by New York law firm Shearman & Sterling on a pro bono basis.[14] The case was resolved by an agreement between the parties in 2020. That agreement provided that any software under an OSI approved license would receive a legal release and covenant to the aforementioned patent and also any other patents owned by Leigh Rothschild or an entity controlled by Rothschild.[14][15] The agreement, however, included a clause that terminated the legal release to any entity that challenged the validity of Rothschild’s patents, and prevented GNOME from disparaging Rothschild. Nevertheless, the claims in patent 9936086 were later subject to a legal re-examination,[16] filed by an entity named Defease Patents,[17] with the final result that every claim of that patent was found to have been improperly granted. The US Patent Office (USPTO) duly issued a certificate canceling all claims in their entirety in 2022.[16][18]

cont.

>>106468241
>The Rothschild modus operandi is to obtain patents, form a number of limited liability companies to hold just a family of patents directed to one area of technology — often based on a group of patents emanating from the same initial patent filing — and then seek a large number of targets to sue. By way of example, RPI had asserted patent 9936086 at least 20 times against other entities before that patent was finally canceled. And before and since, RPI has filed at least 50 lawsuits using related and similar patents to patent 9936086 — similar because they are based on the same original patent application filing as 9936086. Once issued by the USPTO, the merits of a patent can be quite expensive to challenge either through litigation or a procedure called Inter Partes Review — unless a challenger can use the reexamination process (as Defease Patents did) — so the relatively small sums required to settle usually remain individually attractive.[19] The GNOME Foundation instead reacted by launching a counter claim and subsequently pushed Leigh Rothschild, the owner of RPI, to settle for nothing less than the elimination of the Rothschild patent threat from all open source projects.[14]

>Participants and commentators have drawn several lessons from these events. Neil McGovern, executive director of the GNOME Foundation was pleased with the signed agreement and remarked "I felt it was incredibly important to send a message to the entire patent assertion industry that basically you don't go after open source projects. It won't end well for you."[13] Bain and Smith (2022) opine that it remains to be seen "whether the patent litigation against the GNOME Foundation represents an anomaly, or the start of a trend of NPEs (non‑practicing entities) asserting patents directly against [open source] projects themselves".[10]:252

but it feels like a logical extension of how the GPL acts. it attaches itself to everything that touches it and everything that touches that. in the case of mongo specifically not just the license I dont even understand why they wanted that even if hindering competitors truly is the desired advantage. is anyone trying to make new DBMSs by forking mongo?
no, this has to be about a cloud service that mongo inc provides, right? which has all the setup that gives simple access to a mongodb server. then if any dev is using that to HOST their own project (like they would with AWS or akamai/linode etc) which may or may not be reliant on mongodb-specific features, they have to license their whole project under the mongo license. but again, HOW is that a competitor? if mongo-cloud is providing dbms and storage, and an app hosted there is providing a forum or something, how is that a conflict? I dont get it, I remember being confused about this months ago too, I DONT GET IT

better yet he violated the terms of the MIT license when he arbitrarily re-licensed it
you cannot re-license other peoples contributions unless they signed a CLA or other copyright-releasing form
