    Nifty free software news: the imaging software used by the Event Horizon Telescope, which was able to record the first
    picture of a black hole, is licensed under the GPLv3! #blackhole #copyleft https://u.fsf.org/2sm

    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

    "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've always felt like #copyleft was authoritarian in that it took away "freedoms", but really it only prevents the "freedom" to use intellectual property to commit violence against:

    0. Those who run the program as they wish, for any purpose.

    1. Those who study how the program works, and change it so it does their computing as they wish.

    2. Those who redistribute copies so they can help their neighbor.

    3. Those who distribute copies of your modified versions to others.

    Professor Tanenbaum, didn't it occur to you that there may have been some nefarious reason when they only sought non-copyleft code instead of some cut-down version of the prevailing unixlike OS/kernel (Linux, which comes with #GPLv2 #copyleft license)?

    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

    I'm confident that at some point also Google will understand and appreciate the benefits of strong copyleft.
