Interesting. I agree that it's not going to be the same, but I welcome that. Currently open source is just a tool for big tech to advance their agenda. I think this is a brilliant move from MS. They gain goodwill and at the same time h

Well, they don't need an excuse. They are Google. :-/

Hm, how do you get to them? Apart from bribing an interviewer at Google I can't see how you could get the list of rejections?

This is not what I had in mind. Whoever produces something should get rid of it. I don't care if it's single use if producer is able to get it back and recycle it.

by Drdrdrq 7y ago
The real solution is both very simple and incredibly complex at the same time: producers should be obligated (and incentivized) to take care of the waste from their products. Every other solution simply won't work. How to do that? No i

True. It's funny when those who rave against the licenses that might actually help change these problems, also publish their donations' summaries. Funny in a sad way, that is.

Why do you think it discourages any community participation? It does put some restrictions regarding the license for modifications (it must be permissive, or CLA needs to be signed), but anyone can fork, maintain or share their copy. They j

Do read the license, it's really short and to the point. At least for me I don't think I'm giving up much (as a user) by using Commons Clause software. I just can't sell the app or services without obtaining permission f

I do believe it is possible, but it is a compromise. Let go of one of the freedoms so that other freedoms (like "right to repair") have a chance. In other words: Commons Clause.

> Using AGPL instead of GPL closes the Saas loop hole. In spirit maybe, but not in practice because of its loopholes. That was the reason MongoDB changed their license.

And yet, they have one of the few FOSS products that can compete with any of its rivals on quality alone (the only one I can think of actually).

I don't think a few of us using Gimp (yes, I am an occassional user) will stand in the way of convenience winning . Hige majority of people do (and will) use Photoshop, simply because it meets their needs better.

Thanks!

This. The problem with FOSS are incentives which are not aligned. Sure, some developers will give their best for free... for some time. But sooner or later the going gets tough and maintaining (let alone developing further) your pet project

What exactly is meant by null ? The null / zero character, no password or 4-char string "null"?

Still, you can compile + decompile the code you have, and compare that to decompiled production app. This might allow you to apply any cganges back to the code. Btw, it's not a dev who lost the code, it's the company and inadequat

For me it works pretty well if I imagine someone else (another team member who is less experienced) doing the job, and myself reviewing the code. It turns out my estimates about other people's work are much more accurate... :)

Still, the rule is the same - you make it your expertise. You can't competently develop something unless you know how it will be used. > Say you are writing some medical software that has to diagnose patient based on some inputs. Yo

Great story! It is incredible what kind of impact a competent developer can have if they are given the chance and if they understand the problems users are having. A little automation can eliminate majority of repetitive and mundane work of

This! Certificate expiry is mostly an UX problem. While expiration is needed, the first step should be a warning, not cancellation of service. Imagine if your car simply didn't start when you crossed the service interval, instead of ju

This. Privacy is not about embarrasment. It's about power. I don't care (that much) about my privacy, I care about everyone's privacy.

Mozilla could do the same. That said, I do trust Mozilla quite a bit more.
