@allisonrandal, your dent is misleading. !FSF opposes Restricted boot. Appears @linuxfoundation, #Canonical & #RedHat want it, but different14 years ago To: Public

Loving the plentiful, fresh, local fruits and veggies of summer, but wishing for a little more sun.14 years ago To: Bradley M. Kuhn, Public
@allisonrandal, we fundamentally disagree. inbound=outbound (as practiced by !LInux & expressed formally by @fontana) uses license that way.@allisonrandal, as for the "purpose" of !GPL specifically, it was indeed *intended* that *all* corners of a project would be bound by GPL.
@allisonrandal When I license a contribution under the GPL, that is _very much_ a contributor->project purpose.Bradley M. Kuhn likes this.

@allisonrandal, I've decided I don't wanna be a #Harmony developer. I somewhat doubt I'll be a user, either, but I will look at your release14 years ago To: Bradley M. Kuhn, Public
@bkuhn But, yes, a project could decide to accept either/both assignment and license versions.14 years ago To: Bradley M. Kuhn, Public
@bkuhn It does make it easier sometimes. (I figure you agree with that, since Conservancy also optionally accepts assignments.)@allisonrandal, #Conservancy accepts assignment only when developers request it. Will #Harmony agreements be similarly optional by default?14 years ago To: Bradley M. Kuhn, Public
@bkuhn And you should know my opinion, after working with me on the Perl/Parrot CLA. No, I don't believe CAA is required for enforcement.@allisonrandal,I don't recall discussing enforcement during !Perl licensing discussion; Also, ISTR only working on *license* w/you, not #CLA@allisonrandal, I do recall we discussed the #Python #CLA for my #pynie patches, but I ended up not signing it (& I hear Pynie is dead, too)14 years ago To: Bradley M. Kuhn, Public
@bkuhn I guess you're inferring that Canonical using a CAA is a strong statement that everyone should? It's a weak inference, and not true.@allisonrandal, Not inferring! Jane #Silber, @sabdfl, & Amanda #Brock have all stated clearly that companies should & *deserve* ©A from devs14 years ago To: Richard Fontana, Public
@fontana How so?14 years ago To: Public
@kevingranade Then it comes down to a question of how much copyright is enough to do enforcement.@allisonrandal, Amanda #Brock has stated that universal © holership is required for enforcement. Is that position also yours & !Canonical's?14 years ago To: Richard Fontana, Public
@fontana You could just as well say it empowers the project to do enforcement even if the developers don't want to bother.
@allisonrandal A developer may like that if the org is likely to enforce (like @fsf). But @canonical has never enforced: http://ur1.ca/4khfy
@allisonrandal yes he could but he's not talking about that advantage. He means the disadvantage that Canonical wants right to proprietarize@allisonrandal,I say again: #CLA/©AA isn't needed for enforcement authority;eg: #Conservancy acts as Erik #Andersen's !GPL enforcement agent14 years ago To: Public
@bkuhn Doesn't mean the devs are *right* to blur the legal details, just that the finer points of licensing are picked up later.@allisonrandal,diff btw !GPL, !LGPL &permissive licenses aren't "finer points",they're the basics. You've low opinion of developers it seemsBradley M. Kuhn at 14 years ago
