@fsfe also excetions to allow #CCSS to be continued to be used and bought need to be canceled and removed entirely.

@stevel @lazygamereviews #Funfact:

#Microsoft actually knows they have no leverage in reality, which is why when #Lenovo, #Dell & #hp came to them to demand better #terms or they'd switch to #Linux, Microsoft decided to pay them $25 per #Windows Pro preinstall instead.

• I think what is needed is not just Linux-friendly #hardware, but explcitly Windows-unfriendly hardware and #software.

Tho the only reason Microsoft's managment hasn't canceled #OTP #CCSS and replaced it with #SaaS-only shit is because they'd instantly piss off too many #customers and #ValueRemoving #rentseekers that run the entire "#Antivirus" cottage industry.

• Remember: Noone asked for a #CopilotPC or #Copilot or #AI bullshit, and when #consumers are given a fair choice they'd refuse to pay the premium for WinShit which is the inferior option.

@cryptgoat I do, because @fdroidorg choosing to shill a #CCSS that isn't even distributed on a 3rd party repo is a decision by them.

• #BraveBrowser never was #OpenSource'd nor on #Fdroid's own repo.

@katyswain I din't think that #CCSS is good either, but the demands of #GPLv3 are not compatible with the (adnitteldy shitty) reality of how #IP, #Licensing and #Patents work and thus it kneecaps a lot of things.

• GPLv3 caused #Apple to freeze their #bash version and divest into #LLVM and adopt #zsh.

• As @landley showed, enforcing the #GPL(v2) resulted in exactly 0 code being committed to #BusyBox and it only made said project look toxic and litigatious.

• Also i've yet to see anything happen re: #paywalled #SourceCodeAccess for #grsec & #RedHat #Linux. Maybe #GPLv4 will ban #paxwalling and force violators to work on #GNU / #HURD?

I chose #0BSD for _OS/1337 because as with any "intellectual labour", one cannot force others to collaborate and I'd rather have people join in out of the goodness of their hearts instead of just dumping some random git commit that is useless.

@epicenter_works deshalb muss es eine #Pflicht zu #OpenSource geben und #CCSS verboten werden!

• Nur #FLOSS und #Transparenz kann #KRITIS sichern...

@Belledonne_Communications so it's #CallForPricing-#CCSS and not #FLOSS, I guess...

@mrmasterkeyboard @landley My choice of @musl for @OS1337 is because I want my stuff to be statically linked and not every minor update to have the risk to brick shit, because #GlibC is notorious for that since the #GNU project are nonchalantly thinking "just recompile it" is a valid excuse.

• Espechally since (for better or worse) not everything is (A)GPL(v3)-licensed and prople may need to deal with #binaries and/or #CCSS because in many cases patents and licensing are not allowing the distribution of it.

I mean, we all 'loved' to live in a world where this wasn't the case but if I were to like deal with a vocoder for MELP, AMBE or TWELP I'm pretty shure I'd never ever be allowed to distribute it's source code, even for "clients exempted from the need to obtain licensing"...

@soc @dysfun @musl well, every single piece of software is!

• Show me a poeve of software, #FLOSS or #CCSS doesn't matter, that doesn't have this clause?

And no, "#CallForPricing" and #NDA'd #MILINTEL / #Aerospace stuff like #VxWorks doesn't count!

@FediFollows or even if tools like @kdenlive ain't fitting, at least consider #OneTimePurchase #CCSS (i.e. #DaVinchiResolve) instead of #enshittified #Subscription-only #SaaS!

@louis @jimsalter to me it says more about said (#CCSS) #vendors when their software doesn't make #backups and #restore as simple as it could be.

@CenTdemeern1 +9001%

• Same reason why #Microsoft doesn't combat #Windows #piracy even when done in broad daylight or in general, because normalizing shitty #CCSS instead of #FLOSS keeps them relevant and in the game.

OFC they gonna axe #Windows & #MicrosoftOffice anyway in favour of #subscription-only #Saas like #XboxGamePass, #Office365 / #Microsoft365 & #Azure because that's where the real margins are, not with #OneTimePurchase products!

@jacob yes, and #OpenWashing is a real issue not just with #AssholeLicensing as seen with #Redis & others using #SSPL as a literal #AssholeLicense which are just "#SourceAvailable" instead of #OpenSource, but actual #donations.and #contributions.

• Try to convince any C-level decisionmakers to donate even 1% of the equivalent of licensing the #CCSS equivalents of the #FLOSS deployed will get one laughed at, and suggesting 10% threatened woth getting fired.

#AskMeHowIKnow…

@cb_desu @davidrevoy @Ertain @zeppy5d OFC #Autodesk - like #Adobe - should've been forcibly split apart and have their #CCSS forcibly #FLOSS'd as punishment for monopolizing industries with their software…

@davidrevoy @Ertain @zeppy5d

Yes and no.

#Apple's #iPad makes it easy to test, build and sell #CCSS [commercial closed-source software] at a premium.

• I mean, I'm happy with my #X230Tablet but I do acknowledge this is an old device and it's rather the exception than norm...

Simply because #Wacom makes good passive stylus and pen-capable touchscreens.

• So OFC companies that have the money and resources to build premium #apps will target the premium customers who by virtue ob being able to splash 4 digits on a tablet brand-new will be proven more able to pay for their software.

That's why #Autodesk won't even sell people a #Linux license for #Maya (or any of their other tools) unless one has proof of ownership of a certified workstation (i.e. HP Z-series) with a #RHEL [#RedHat] #Workstation #subscription active to begin with.

• And yes they will run the machine's serial # to check if it's ordered with parts that fit their system requirements from the factory and will demand the same for RHEL. I've been there and had to do that before they even consider offering one a subscription!

Compare that to like #AffinityDesigner on #iOS (or rather "#iPadOS") and the fact that basically all iPad users are expected to have an Apple account and credit card linked to it for the #AppStore and it's no wounder the developers of creative apps will focus on that.

The only exception are #FLOSS #apps that are native to Linux and/or got started on other #Unix Systems [#blender started out on #IRIX as CCSS] and serve #macOS & #Windows as 2nd & 3rd tier platforms [i.e. #darktable oftentimes had no Windows builds because none of the devs had or wanted a Windows machine to test on!]

@wolf480pl OFC limiting the scope of a project is important.

• I.e. "I don't want to do a #GUI with like a modern desktop for @OS1337 because that'll exceed the desired complexity and sticking to #TUI / #CLI is the best I want to do." is such a scope.

OFC there are reasons why #bash is bash and why i.e. #toybox will most likely only implement a tiny subset of bash in toysh and why @landley hasn't implemented support for .bash_aliases yet [if he'd ever do that considering there are more pressing TODOs than "some hobbyist doodler's wish"...

• Either way I don't fault either #developers for that: I don't pay them for their work so I don't get to tell them what they should do! In fact I'm grateful for their work and that they decided to release it and license it as #FLOSS and not #CCSS...
