I might have to rethink my stance on "#GPL all the way".

Due to the highly scriptable nature of the #FOSS static site generator that I'm building, site code (or even entire sites) may fall under copyleft, and that's not what I want. I've had a look at the #LGPL, but for my use case, it still sounds too strict. I'm also not keen on writing my own license exception, and I doubt it'd keep enough protections to make GPLing worthwhile in the first place. So I'm afraid #Apache 2.0 is my best bet?

#FFmpeg 7.0 "Dijkstra" is out. One of the most useful frameworks that's still chugging along today. If you decode video in any format, you know probably know the name.

#OpenSource ist tot, es lebe Post-Open-Source​ https://www.heise.de/hintergrund/Missing-Link-Open-Source-ist-tot-es-lebe-Post-Open-Source-9595891.html?seite=all

Diese Initiative von #BrucePerens, Mitbegründer der Open-Source-Bewegung, hat durchaus explosives Potential.

Haben die üblichen #FOSS-Lizenzen ausgedient? Wurde FOSS von Konzernen anders verwendet als von der FOSS-Idee her ursprünglich gedacht? Wie würde eine korrigierte Lizenz aussehen? 🤔

So cool that #GitHub #Copilot provides maintainers of popular #OpenSource repositories free reign to illegally violate their colleagues’ #copyright and #license terms: https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-copilot/about-billing-for-github-copilot#:~:text=maintainers%20of%20popular%20open%2Dsource%20repositories
