Do not #Copyleft licences, like #GPLv3, work by ensuring that **any** software that includes the FOSS code be #FOSS also?

What the above describes is #softwareTheft, right?

For example #MastodonDevs by allowing #HellaDoge to not provide source code for years, with a notification of such by us, are allowing software #theft, right?

True, but #Mastodon however has been failing to enforce the #AGPLv3Compliance against apparent software thieves at #HellaDogeDotCom.

We have been calling for compliance for a long time now.

Difficult to know for sure whether some #collusion between #memecoin peddlers and a #MastodonDev exists.

Dunno.

Hmm.

We need to retain what'll keep Fediverse ethical.

The #infiniteScroll, javascript timeline appears to be forced upon users, with no way to enjoy the previous JS-free interface. This exposes users to #tracking.

To those opposing #Muskrat, mastodon team still don't enforce #copyLeft on a #dogecoin-pumping instance! (See #AGPLv3Compliance)

If a fork is the way forward, back-port security fixes to a version of #Mastodon that doesn't require JS and removing #2FA would be a start.

@Gargron
Thanks for responding,

That memecion server has been a highly visible perpetrator for a long time. All we ask is they be served the same compliance notice as TruthSocial. Picking and choosing who we enforce the license with will not fly in any future legal preceding.

We must nip this in the bud, the next weeds will be worse.

This should not be controversial.
