And I then found my books on two other websites. Reported them and all of them (poss the same company but different responders and domains) deleted the entry rather than change the metadata.
These sites let anyone upload any book they want without question. So they will happily accept a posting which breaches but they cannot possibly accomodate a situation where they are permitted to share the works but need to acknowledge the creator.
Sigh again.

I love , but is the fact that it is a proprietry, trade-secret system that goes against Free and Open Source Software () principles an issue? Even if you think not, then surely their unpermitted use of code to train for-profit is an issue. Really interesting article from @conservancy diving into this issue here: sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub

How licenses (like the ) and aka aka can help us all avoid by proprietary US Big Tech & protect our via the founder of video.resolutions.it/w/4d5c5b1 We need to break the cycle we're currently in. It's expensive, disempowering, & *brittle*. And it's unfit for purpose.

Thought this was a nice presentation of reciprocal and non-reciprocal open source licenses, and why this is not the most important debate to have about open source licenses right now.

I would very much prefer that people who are interested in the social aspects of computer programs just support instead of . Free Software is political. It activily promotes awareness about these social issues.

Open Source was specifically invented to lose the ideology of Free Software. catb.org/jargon/html/O/open-so
Also with (part of the definition of Free Software) there would be no “Paradox” of Open.

I understand artists who wouldn't like their art to be shared the same way.

I just don't agree that the process is exploitative in itself.

We need art to spread the ideas without being worried that we used a license _wrong_. Every time I tried contacting a magazine publisher / conf organized about drafting a separate contract with an artist living abroad, they decided it's too hard and went for a really bad quality stock / stole some copyrighted art instead.

We've just had a discussion regarding an asking for (CC-BY-SA) licensed works and how it could be exploitative for the

I understand that taking part in such a thing is a risk, since others can use your works even if you don't win, but would you consider taking part in it if CC-licensed entries came with higher rewards?

Thank you for helping me understand artists better and please feel free to elaborate!

@syfershock @EggKnees The very notion of is a fallacious oxymoron (nevermind the additional issue with it not being a distinct thing, but rather a conflation of and ).

Exclusive ownership of a non-tangible thing (or even ownership at all) doesn't make sense.

As for why then do licenses (as ) rely on copyright to ensure the rights of users? Purely as a clever (vaguely effective) hack on our broken legal systems.

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

What the above describes is , right?

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

I'm delighted that software I wrote runs far and wide, but each time someone tells me their employer forbids any contribution back, even on personal time, I see more appeal in Copyleft.

@juliaferraioli +1 and would like to add that licensing matters too. And that ideological tensions between the permissiveness of some licensing and the more opinionated licensing areas exist.

Myself I am concerned about protective licensing that may be taken as a prefigurative measure against unintended harmful consequences of the use of software. firstdonoharm.dev/ was recommended to me, seems quite comprehensive and rigorous, but still researching..

Really great blog post on by @ploum:

The title is click-baity and almost misleading but the points are really good.

Ploum argues that is actually (or should be) one of the fundamental aspects of and suggests expanding the four freedoms by an obligation to keep software free. They draw interesting parallels to in the physical world, emphasizing that they must not be commoditized.

If the FSF were more active / still relevant, and they were making a successor to the to cover new additional threats to and the four freedoms, such as LLMs slurping up code without releasing the result under copyleft, what new clauses should be in the new license? If you were writing a new version of the , what threats would you guard against, using what language?

If the FSF can't get their act together, is there any org that could produce such a license?
