Small correction to the article: it is not „a top constitutional court“ it is THE top constitutional court. The German Bundesverfassungsgericht is the equivalent of the US Supreme Court.

Why didn’t this project use one of the well known and (court) tested open source licenses but instead opted to use Yet Another New License that is not adhering to the Open Source Definition by the OSI? Muddying the waters this way isn’t rea

The interesting thing is how Heather Meeker carefully avoids mentioning the obvious approach that is perfectly compliant with laws and regulations around copyright and use: opt-in. If a new way of using information arises, asking for consen

So instead of having a few European companies offering DNS resolvers for the EU under documented rules, this article argues its better to leave this to a few US companies that have effectively zero rules to follow?

Bryan Lunduke is known (at least to me) for trending towards the exaggerated, clickbait style. This being just one of many examples of that approach.

Without concrete examples of good v bad behaviour it’s a lonely call in the void, IMHO. Without a clear commitment to solid versioning, where it is clear what is considered ready and stable v WIP it also doesn’t really help. Good will on al

I’ve read the article 3 times now. I still fail to find the part where git broke. I also fail to find a concise explanation on what the solution is. I may need a beer to understand this.

The app update limits collected data to 14 days. While the storage limit is only defined by the memory capacity of your smartphone running the app. But to add insult to injury, in my case it silently deleted all data except for the last 9 d

Trademarks. Contracts. Egos. I was there when it all happened. When Oracle refused to transfer the trademarks to the Document Foundation. When loud voices on many sides shouted at each other. Leading to the current situation. My current pos

As a software maintainer/distributor, I don’t think we at Red Hat are the ones responsible to publish data sheets. That’s the job of the hardware manufacturer/vendor. When they decide to only offer it in non-public ways but allow

When firmware was stored in ROM/EEPROM, most FOSS folks had no problem with it. It was considered part of the hardware, so not that relevant. But when these were moved out of non-volatile memory (mostly for cost reasons), that changed

No. I specifically said drivers, not firmware blobs. As long as these blobs are freely redistributable, I personally have no problems with them. I understand some people do and that is understandable, but I don’t subscribe to that. This s
