@zooko It's also !problematic due to license proliferation not being GPL compatible where a normal permissive license could be.
-
Actually I do plan to do that.

@warp Programs made w/LiveCode inherit v3-only nature. Please read RunRev's position on programs made using LiveCode http://www.ur1.ca/dd4kb
-
@warp But never said it was proprietary but certainly !problematic since programs using it inherit their poor decision.
-
Oh wow, I didn't realize that. That just turns this into a proprietary relicensing situation, pretty shady.

Doesn’t #Canonical’s policy revolve less around a "Not Invented Here" than a "Not Copyright-held Here" syndrom? !problematic !GPL #Mir

@fontana - could there be some way to give licensees of #copyleft-next the standing they would need to get source on their own initiative?

@evan if there's a REST of the story I'd think you'd use the Apache License

@zotz a requirement to bring a lawsuit seems !problematic (requirement to cooperate in someone else's has precedent)
-
but that other person would not have standing to bring the suit. or could they bring it so long as someone participating has standing?
-
@fontana - have you considered the interaction of #copyleft-next and statutory licensing?
about 3 months ago from web-
@zotz these kinds of licenses are probably !problematic for sculptures
-
@zotz GPL defn arguably should be 'preferred form for making a modified copy'
-
shouldn't really be. We can have a photo of a sculpture, a sketch of the same, and a copy in the same or another substance, etc.

Hear ye, hear ye! #copyleft-next 0.1.0 has been released. Patches welcome!

@fontana then he would just change it a bit…
-
@fontana to me it looks like you want to say “I grant you an *exclusive* worldwide license to use this work under GPL”.
engelnyst likes this. -
@fontana and you can do that. You just need some legal entity which can receive that license. Maybe conservancy could do that.

@zack what turned you off of gitlab? My preference these days is to host my own gifts with gitolite and gitweb.
-
@jeremiah: the fact that there is no distro package. I'm myself on gitweb/gitolite now, but something more integrated would be nice

You'll be glad to know that Daniel has promised #gitano packages. http://ur1.ca/ctpst

Personally I'd see only advantages in such revision. It's not conceivable imho to be used for subverting.

Or, don't make it legally-proof binding. Make it socially binding. Explicit public commitment makes promise matter. (http://ur1.ca/cojbi)

That hardly seems to help when one company is bought out by another. Etc.

@vanden I don't think it's that bad of an analogy; board can overrule or even depose. Also, citizens/constituency can go extralegal.*

@bkuhn True that. But discussion and conceptualizing could (and arguably should) precede such approval.

@bkuhn depending what you mean by "wrong", insulting not wrong. But then I recommend following Crocker's Rules.

@mlinksva, I think it's wrong to call people dicks & McCarthyists. I'd agree that it's not the worst thing someone can do.

@mlinksva We should demand that they remove every shitty book we can think of, in order to protect our "reader experience". #bravenewworld

@vvillenave seriously though, will be interesting to see how they and others, eg openlibrary, deal with spam books. will be !problematic
