@typhlosion it also means the AL2 doesn't really get you anything over just using another license. Forks have to rename, list their changes and not conflict with installation of the original, etc., but they can just relicense and now they don't

duo's marking is just as half-assed as my answers

(I had no idea what it said so I just wrote it phonetically)

@typhlosion code is effectively under a bunch of different licenses, some of which don't even exist yet so who knows what they'll say, let's hope GPLv57 is good

plus a fork can relicense and the original can't get changes back

@typhlosion the relicensing clause is a can of worms

I wonder if I could contact someone at the FSF to get them to fix their page?

Should I email Stallman?

Dear Richard,

Get your shit together

@Sylvhem but without it this story wouldn't have happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C-JoyNuQJs#t=2480s

example:

original text of the ISC license from 2000: https://source.isc.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=bind9.git;a=blob;f=COPYRIGHT;hb=ab26da0d8f7759a4db721ab7d6ba6351b2de1d01

commit in 2007 that changed it: https://source.isc.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=bind9.git;a=commitdiff;h=599a98b25ca10c501bdf3368eab2a2a951130949

@Sylvhem yeah, probably the same problem as the JSON "Don't be evil" license

oh wow, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISC_license is completely wrong because it cites the FSF who have got their history mixed up: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#ISC

It was ISC changed the license to add "and/or", OpenBSD still uses the original

I could change it but it will probably be reverted because the FSF said it so it must be true. I could use repo histories and diffs as sources but wikipedia doesn't like primary sources.

I've always thought the Wiccan Rede would make a good software license:

"An it harm none, do what ye will"

partly because of the inevitable arguments about whether it's a free license or not

@typhlosion here's my diff:

+/* a line for the Halffero GPL */
+/* a line for the Halffero GPL */
+/* a line for the Halffero GPL */

@staticsafe https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#BitTorrent

sure the GPLv3 fixed this, but no one cares about that

the best part of the GPL is that pretty much everyone seeding Linux ISOs is violating it

of course, after the election the party imploded over a scandal with their leader and now they basically don't exist (hence they're not mentioned in this image) so...

also I'm a hypocrite because this same system stopped the Conservatives from getting any seats last election despite having 4% of the vote, and I'm not going to pretend to be sad about that

of the four "minor" parties, the one that is polling the highest is the one that won't get any seats

unless there are some major upsets, the other three are likely to win electorates:

Māori Party (MRI) should get 2
ACT (ACT) should get 1
United Future (UNF) should get 1

ain't democracy great

why are people
