You can run a SaaS company with AGPL-licensed software, no problem. What do you think is nonfree about AGPL?

The imbalance I think _msw_ refers to is the fact that Valkey couldn't both take code from a GPL-licenced Redis and keep its license. So either they relicense, or they can't take code from Redis but Redis can take code from Valkey

Their loss, at some point… I'm quite fed up with this GAFAM FUD against the AGPL and the GPLv3.

KDE Plasma (on any distro I guess) has clear, easy to reach and easy to use settings for this.

Words have meaning and sometimes it's important to remain clear. I think it is not acceptable to use "open source" for things that are not actually "open source", especially in an article about the topic. There are

Not quite good enough I think, the copyright holders are not Wikipedia, but the individual contributors.

mpv understands URLs to these websites and uses yt-dlp to download them. On KDE, I assigned an action to open some URLs with mpv, which means I can play then from the clipboard manager or the copy menu that is displayed when copying if it&#

Nope, sometimes I would have a rebuttal but flagging is the better option (constructive discussion is hard without mutual respect, and/or don't feed the troll). Or, the comment doesn't even have anything to refute, it's

Not at all costs though, including disrupting access to said free information. And this free information is not free from rights to respect neither, it's under CC-BY-SA, which requires attribution and sharing under the same conditions,

I'm not sure about this. It could break the positioning / sizing / box CSS properties. That would require rendering arbitrary HTML in the native widget, outside the browser. And I think that would require putting WebKit in

No, because all {x, y, z}s are {x, y}s, but the opposite is not true. Said differently, any function that applies to the general {x, y} also applies to the more specific {x, y, z} (it will just not use the z part) but a function that requir

You could still use git-svn, but yeah, as another commenter wrote, I don't think reproducible build is that useful when debugging, it should be fine to have an actual timestamp in the binaries.

The question might not have been about the transparency, but more about the choice of having it as a git repository, or whether there are actual tools based on the git repository. Arguably, the git repository is unusable for the majority of

For posterity: I missed a crucial word in my comment. I meant to say "if you care about free software". Sorry for this.

Sure, and I happen to agree, I release stuff under (A)GPL for exactly this reason. I guess the confusion stems from this phrasing: > If it's MIT, the person who buys it ISN'T allowed to give away more copies for free if the sel

Not necessarily. If you are computing an aggregation for instance, if your computation is recursive and not tail call optimized, it may overflow the stack but the fixed version will not use additional memory for each iteration. Otherwise, i
