This is just perfect.
The blog post much like the FSF, is far less interested in an end result that works, and far more interested in threatening / filing lawsuits. In that they have a social platform not many people use but a lot of people are talking about filing a lawsuit about, and a blog post about the issue that doesn't render html character codes properly but also talks a lot about hypothetical lawsuits.
Never change, guys.
- cure 5y agoI'll give you the html character thing, that's a bit sloppy. But "far more interested in threatening / filing lawsuits" couldn't be further from the truth. Check out how short the list of past lawsuits is at https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/past-lawsuits.html https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/past-lawsuits..... If you read up a bit on software freedom conservancy, you'll notice that threatening / filing lawsuits is something they do as a very last resort. You'll also notice that when they do file a suit, there are no monetary damages requested, only license compliance (cf. https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/vizio.html https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/vizio.html).
