You can't earn money with #FreeSoftware. #Copyleft is bad for your business. Do you think this is true? Then you should come to my #CopyleftConf talk "Using strong copyleft to build a sustainable business", organized by @conservancy https://2019.copyleftconf.org/schedule/presentation/12/ #Nextcloud

Registration for #assemblies at #35C3 has opened, and we are in!
Which is a good time for you to remember that we are running a call for self-created #sessions: https://fsfe.org/news/2018/news-20181024-01

Let's put the #hacking back into #politics!

"Books are at the intersection of some of the most essential human freedoms, primarily #freedom of expression and freedom to publish. These are fragile freedoms", that's about the world #Book and #Copyright Day by #UNESCO. Isn't it to creator focused? I miss the power of books to make knowledge and culture universally available across all boarders and thus the freedom to learn and to participate. But then I would also remove the copyright from the official title. Maybe replace it by #Copyleft?

Recently I read often that #copyleft is so bad, that nobody want to use it. I think this depends on the definition of use. People who are looking for some free beer to build their own proprietary stuff might feel sad because they can't (ab)use copyleft software. End users couldn't care less. People who want to get engaged typically like copyleft because it creates a level playing field, nobody have to fear that a competitor will take their investment and run away. #FreeSoftware #OpenSource

Interesting read. I agree w/much of this analysis but disagree w/the catchall damnation of free & #OpenSource software. Yes the battle is as uphill as ever. We need principled #FreeSoftware development meaning strong #copyleft, better employment agreements & functional nonprofits https://twitter.com/johnmark/status/1023916398983163909

I was just pointed to the paradox of tolerance: "Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance I see some similarity to the discussion of protecting vs non-protecting #FreeSoftware licenses. #OpenSource #copyleft #philosophy
