   Here is a (selective) look at the management of Mozilla in the recent past. From Mitchell Bakers blog https://blog.lizardwrangler.com/2018/08/07/in-memoriam-gerva... “Gerv’s faith did not have ambiguity at least none that I ever saw. Gerv was crisp. He had very precise views about marriage, sex, gender and related topics. He was adamant that his interpretation was correct, and that his interpretation should be encod…

   A copyleft license is actually more conductive to Open Core development because it allows the copyright holder to reserve the right to create proprietary addons while shutting the community out of that option [1]. Not trying to insinuate that Light Table specifically is going to do this, but the option is still available. [1] http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2009/10/16/open-core-shareware.htm...

   > Kallithea is partly a fork of our old, legacy version of RhodeCode without all the hard work our engineers spent over the last 12 months in turning an open source project into a real, sophisticated enterprise product. The marketing-speak, it burns. You turned your back on us. You lied. You and Marcin repeatedly told us that you were comitted to free software. I don't know if you lied to Marcin as well or if both o…

    There is also Kallithea ( https://kallithea-scm.org/ ). Kallithea is a free and libre fork of RhodeCode after they dropped their GPLV3 license for parts of the codebase and added a paid user limit. Kallithea is being actively developed (a 0.2 release is coming soon) by a free software community under the auspices of the software freedom conservancy. See this blog post from Bradley Kuhn for more details: http://ebb.o…

    This is an abridged view looking at a couple of statements and news articles from a few days in September 2019. The free software community's frustration with Richard Stallman had been going on for many, many years before then. The most you can say is that it provided a public impetus for the organization to act, and perhaps that public impetus was driven by journalists who misread his words. http://ebb.org/bkuhn/bl…

    If we're going to be understanding towards neurodivergent people, a good place to start is not defining "autism" as "the inability to be anything other than an asshole, the inability to understand after people patiently work with you to explain why people think you're being an asshole [1], and the inability to apologize." Also, a lot of the people who are upset with RMS and think he should stop being the figurehead…

    While I support RMS and find the lies peddled about him abhorrent, this article convinced me he is not fit to serve as the public face of free software: http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2019/10/15/fsf-rms.html In short: He harmed the cause of free software by making public statements on unrelated, controversial issues.

    > What about the Apache Foundation CLA? This CLA is one of the better ones, because it doesn’t transfer copyright over your work to the Apache Foundation. I have no beef with clauses 1 and 3-8. However, term 2 is too broad and I would not sign this CLA. Term 2 of the CLA just defines inbound=outbound for Term 2 of the License ( https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 ).

    We kinda do have it; it's just mostly useless, given the linking clause. (Not entirely useless, though, as that article sets out.) GPL and AGPL have the same layout, so you can just take the LGPL, and replace all references to 'GPL' and 'GNU General Public License' with 'AGPL' and 'GNU Affero General Public License'. Of course, you couldn't call that license 'GNU ALGPL' or 'GNU LAGPL'; you'd have to come up with you…
