The FSF couldn't arbitrarily relicense his work or the work of any of the other contributors to the Linux kernel that they don't hold the copyright to. The GPLv3 had a long and comprehensive consultation phase. Linux contributors

While stroking their neckbeards and drinking Mountain Dew? There are free services for voice, video and text chat. What is more difficult, politically speaking, is producing a free client for the Skype protocol. Clean-room reverse-engineeri

"Let them build Skype" is a good replacement for "Let them eat cake".

Installing the software is a different use case from using an existing instance. It's simple to do (compared to buying Twitter or writing your own industrial-strength social networking system from scratch) if you are the kind of user t

It's so. GNU social is designed to be easily hostable on cheap server slices where ssh-ing in and running composer may not be easy.

As with any other service it depends whether your username has already been taken or not.

I'm not sure which platform Django would be difficult to install on. I used it on App Engine at around the same time as your experience and found it simple, flexible and expressive. I wouldn't use it for a very small site as a CMS

A screen session, a bouncer, Quassel, or ircCloud can all allow you to catch up with irc. And don't suddenly bite you at 10,000 messages. ;-)

They're not equally in control, as you can study, modify and redistribute the code. If you want to make your own version of the software, they can't stop you. So they're not equally in control. You are relying on them to not

I can build it on Debian 64 bit but it always crashes. Otherwise I'd be using it already.

Or the 3-clause BSD license, as it used to be known and avoided. Edit: OK, not quite. :-)

No. But you have that backwards. The FSF is good because they protect everyone's freedom to use the software, and one of the ways they do that is through copyright assignment (not a CLA).

C++ isn't C. They have....different sized standards. That said you can create message-passing systems in either - Objective-C was originally a C library and cross-compiler.
