On !FaiFCast 0x29, hear @fontana's #lfcollab 2012 talk entitled "Decline of !GPL" & @bkuhn's & @kaz's comments on it: http://ur1.ca/9ae3s

I think no one can or will ever replace @rms single-handedly, but thinking of it in those terms is problematic. You're conflating his roles.

Nice of you to say that I'm personally so important, but this is really about how underfunded the key non-profits are, not about my own time

@bkuhn As James #Stewart said in another film "One doesn't often get a second chance". @cwebber and #MediaGoblin is #AGPL's second chance.

@fontana, #Cygnus wrote !LGPL evidence 1 & 2 are unsourced speculation;As for 3,many parts of LGPLv2 seem like #FDL, which I know @rms wrote

Should not !LGPL group desc be updated: "The space between GPL and [-Apache-2.0-] {+MPL-2.0+} License." ?

They are conceptually similar, but the much-reduced overhead of MPL may make it a separate place in the spectrum in practice.

@fontana, just find me someone to blame for !LGPL v2§3¶1 sentences 2-3. I wanna complain at length to whoever is responsible for that.

@fontana, that's what I meant. I was slightly vague on that point, but I meant redundancy of !LGPL disjunction in license w/ !GPL. #Mozilla

@bkuhn Doesn't mean the devs are *right* to blur the legal details, just that the finer points of licensing are picked up later.
about a year ago from web-
@allisonrandal,Amanda said it to me (when defending !Canonical's demand of © assignment) & hasn't retracted. I was asking *your* view though
-
@allisonrandal To be clear, I think legal action should be saved for when other avenues don't work. But we shouldn't avoid it entirely. #GPL
-
@allisonrandal This is from my experience as a part-time @conservancy employee (my views are my own). Many hardware vendors infringe #GPL.

Finally heard !LO w/ @allisonrandal who gives no evidence for assertionj developers of !GPL & !AGPL stuff generally want code !LGPL'd too.
about a year ago from mustard-
@webmink,my "most" is surely just as quantified as @allisonrandal's is. I rarely talk to a developer who doesn't know roughly:GPL, LGPL, BSD
-
@dbs, I probably talk to more diversity of developers than most,since my role at #Conservancy has me interacting w/ a wide range of projects

@fontana @bkuhn Lisp has had a LLGPL for similar uses since 2000. http://opensource.franz.com/
-
@bkuhn if one wants to keep copyleft on code, should just be sure to own some piece under AGPL, no? http://sngpl.ma/t4CY5
-
@singpolyma, (I think) the debate in this thread is about whether a community fork of copylefted code can survive,not how to actually do it.
-
@fontana Just checking if you have examples of a community fork that failed due to preference for the prop. version

@fontana,Wine's many unaffiliated contributors under !LGPL. #Wine's likely most corporate entangled in !Conservancy, yet it's still not much

Watching with concern as IBM and Oracle between them try to shut down LibreOffice with help from Apache.

@nearyd, yes & I agree with it. I often don't mention your blog posts, although I do read them, b/c I usually always agree w/ you. :) +1 :)

@fontana, that meme sucks. w/out ", see?" on end, it's not nearly as funny. We gotta this: "Where's your FOO now, see?" meme of yours viral.
-
@fontana, perhaps you're right, but all I can think to say in response to you is: "Where's your Internet meme now, see?"
-
@bkuhn Thanks for talk however could you compare LGPL-2.1+ vs. LGPL-3||GPL-2 ("why should dev/maintainer care")? !fsf !gnu !license !gpl

@mpiechotka, you don't think that suggesting that developers have to change all !LGPLv2 notices to !GPLv2 to link the code is !problematic?
-
@bkuhn Ok. So If I understand correctly (L)GPL-2 requires altering notice during re-licensing which is problematic for linking.
-
@mpiechotka, yes, and that !LGPLv2 problem is just many example of many why LGPLv3 is better weak #copyleft for users and developers. :)

@fontana, I think !GPLv3 is wrong license for !Parrot. Although, !LGPLv3 might be a pretty good choice.
