@fontana, stubborn insistence you mention isn't mine. If you'd help me enforce !GPL using contract remedies, I'm open to it. Volunteering?

Bradley M. Kuhn Richard Fontana

@fontana, backup has never worked for me from identica, from first day it rolled out. I'm still waiting for backup to load my own instance.

I don't necessarily believe contractual remedies should be avoided. Brendan Scott doing interesting stuff w/ fraud law & !GPL in Australia.

@mlinksva @john Agreed users should demand software freedom,but practically, !GPL enforcement can't be done w/out © holder assent,∴ I get it

@fontana, I talked w/ #laforge about this. He believes no legal tools should be used to require all C&CS for all copylefted software.

@fontana, If you read the @lwnnet comment threads, I believe the answer to your question is IOTTMCO, don't you think? Thanks for the #troll.

@fontana, copyleft w/out enforcement is equivalent to a permissive license anyway. So I guess I don't see your point there.

Bradley M. Kuhn The GNU General Public License , Richard Fontana

@fontana,I was accused of enforcing w/out © holder assent. I've not done that,but I'm forced to defend myself vs !GPL equivalent of birthers

@laforge (who appears to have deleted his identi.ca account) wrote a good !GPL enforcement blog post & I commented: http://ur1.ca/844xi

@mlinksva, I'd be on my own instance already if I could *get my data out of identica*. I'm locked in! Not very autonomous.

@evan, also, isn't it a bug that deleting breaks context? Shouldn't it reassemble around the deleted dent?

Bradley M. Kuhn Evan Prodromou

@evan, I agree that you should delete data upon users requests, but I would have a backup of all replies to me if I'd been able to backup.

Bradley M. Kuhn Evan Prodromou , Richard Fontana

@fontana, what's worse is that b/c @evan's backup was still broken,I don't have a backup of any of it. Makes me want to give up on this site

Bradley M. Kuhn Evan Prodromou , Dave Neary

@nearyd, the problem with it is that viscosity causes some people to never even see each other (e.g., me & @evan). That's bad!

Bradley M. Kuhn Richard Fontana

@fontana, that's correct. There's a silent 'r' in the word wash, of course, and the a is pronounced somewhat like an 'o'.

Bradley M. Kuhn Evan Prodromou

@evan I think that #FOSDEM was just very huge and very spread out (@nearyd had some term for this I now forget). I was easy to find Saturday

Bradley M. Kuhn FOSDEM , Free as in Freedom , karen sandler , Matt Kraai

@kraai, Ok, we may use it. We have a lot of !FOSDEM recordings to put on the !FaiFCast now, so we may put them head of the queue (cc: @kaz)

Bradley M. Kuhn Richard Fontana

@fontana @stickster, I grew up saying "needs cleaned" & "needs washed", but I only remember it relating to cleaning & washing.

Bradley M. Kuhn Evan Prodromou , Andrej Dundović

@evan, @adundovi is right, http://ur1.ca/qo doesn't function properly as a URL. Anything I can do to help fix it?

Bradley M. Kuhn Richard Fontana

@fontana, First pass is: See which projects desperately want me to do something, do it, and email them. Repeat throughout the day.
