John McCarthy has an interesting website over nuclear energy [0]. I can't vouch for how actually true it is, but it seems reasonably well argued. This was his comment over nuclear waste: > Q. What about nuclear waste? > A. The w

The problem is the association with the Apache license. Apache has a positive brand that you can attach to your project if you license it as such. It ok if you want to say we have Apache open core and then non-free extensions, but you shoul

One of the earliest questions asked on Open Source SE is on 'How can a project be relicensed?' [0] Edit: further down that rabbit hole, there's a comment on a linked Programmers SE question [1]: > What we do is have a cont

It had been 'done' by IRC 20 years ago, Google had already been heavily in the space with their linking to Gmail and Hangouts and previous attempts with things like Wave. Yet somehow Slack has come in and taken a massive share of

I see this as similar to a Windows vs Linux thing. Where as Mastodon might never be popular there's nothing to stop it existing. People can find their own communities however small and be content in those. Regular people never used Lin
