Bradley Kuhn<p>Since I had backtracked my confusion within ≤ 1.5 seconds, there wasn't time to look at the sources (which I have, of course, because <a href="https://fedi.copyleft.org/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> is under <a href="https://fedi.copyleft.org/tags/AGPLv3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AGPLv3</span></a>! 🥳)</p><p>It all happened so fast, <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.gould.cx/@ted" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>ted</span></a></span>, so I can't be sure, but I believe I had a brief thought that an overflow in a `time_t` — even if somehow dragged into <a href="https://fedi.copyleft.org/tags/Ruby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ruby</span></a> — couldn't possibly have -315705600 in there. </p><p>As I wrote this, I had the additional thought that even if you could, what library thinks -315705600 is 1959-12-31 anyway?</p>

While I also welcome #Redis offering their code under the #AGPLv3 license, I do note that developers still have to agree to three licenses, of which 2 are not open source, to get their contributions accepted and included upstream. https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/unstable/CONTRIBUTING.md
GitHubredis/CONTRIBUTING.md at unstable · redis/redisRedis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. The data model is key-value, but many different kind of values are supported: Strings, Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets, Hashes, Streams, HyperLogLogs,...

@kotaro gramted, all of tuhe #Forks that are #BSD-licensed had way more #effort put into them.
- I just think that #AssholeLicensing is as bad as #Tivolization in terms of #OpenSource and #useability.
#SSPL is still worse than #AGPLv3, but #AGPL & #GPLv3 are just completely disregarding the legal reality of #IP and #Licensing.
- If they don't want to accept #competition, they could've chosen @creativecommons #CCBYNCSA instead, but they did not!
Needless to say if I were a #developer of it and had contributed under #BSD license I'd expect to either get my code removed entirely or the license to be kept the same.
- And now you know why I'll refuse to sign any "#ContributorLicenseAgreement" (#CLA) UNLESS I get a paid, non - term-limited position as an enployee in return…

I will believe that a company that offers software they exclusively control under the AGPLv3 license truly embraces the Open Source Community when they accept a contribution under AGPLv3 from me and meet all of the obligations of the license for network-based services they offer that uses my contribution.

@BKG
Anscheined ist das Softwaremodul #SSR2OBS zentral für die Anwendung. Gibt es Pläne, das zum allgemeinen Download zur Verfügung zu stellen? Noch besser, als #opensource?
Dual-Licensing mit einer restriktiven Copyleft-Lizenz wie #AGPLv3 wäre für Hobbyanwender und Forschung völlig ausreichend.

@landley @burnoutqueen Yeah...
#GPLv3 is a desaster as it's 99% ideology and 1% license text and alongside #AGPLv3 completely ignores the reality of how #licensing and #patents and #IP works.
- Not that I like the status-quo, but we'd rather see businesses steer clear of anything GPLv2+ or GPLv3 or worse.
And on the flipside we basically get "source available" stuff like #SSPL which only serves as a means to commit #AssetDenial and monopolize commercial offerings...
- I think #Linux being #GPLv2only is a good compromise and my personal gripes with #FSF & #GNUtils as well as #GlibC are something different...

Unfortunately, even #AGPLv3 is full of loopholes. Biggest one is being a different license than #GPLv3.
That's basicaly why I use the #HackingLicense for my code: https://code.tesio.it/p/self-hosting/doh.cgi/file?name=LICENSE.txt&ci=tip
It's both a #copyleft license and a shrink-wrap contract designed to close such loopholes.

@Nicholasr_ITSulu @nixCraft nodds in agreement and since there are so many stakeholders with opposing interests and a #copyleft license, #GAFAMs can't #enshittify or #tivolize it!
- And due to #GPLv2only eben a move to #AssholeLicensing like #AGPLv3 or #SSPL is not possible!
@GossiTheDog consider putting all your content under #AGPLv3, #SSPL or even better #CCBYNCND?

One can really see this is an older video, as it misses not only #0BSD between #PublicDomain and #MIT but also #SSPL right of #AGPLv3 in a tab that's right of it called "#AssetDenial" or "#Monopolistic" or just "#AssholeLicensing" and a tab right of that for "#SourceAvailable" licensing, but I get ahead of myself...

@fell @Liberapay @opencollective also considering how the main Server & Client for #Matrix is "asshole-licensed" under #AGPLv3 I'd rather setup @zulip & @jitsimeetinstances / #JitsiMeet.
