@bkuhn any advice for choosing #copyleft #licenses for #Rust code?
In a recent thread you mentioned #LGPL and I'm curious about templating.
In my understanding it's not possible for the user to replace just the LGPLd library on their system, so it's effectively the same as #GPL .
I chose #MPL 2.0 instead.
Same problem exists in C++ template-only libraries, but I found no ultimate guide.
Are you aware of any?

@landley @burnoutqueen Yeah...
#GPLv3 is a desaster as it's 99% ideology and 1% license text and alongside #AGPLv3 completely ignores the reality of how #licensing and #patents and #IP works.
- Not that I like the status-quo, but we'd rather see businesses steer clear of anything GPLv2+ or GPLv3 or worse.
And on the flipside we basically get "source available" stuff like #SSPL which only serves as a means to commit #AssetDenial and monopolize commercial offerings...
- I think #Linux being #GPLv2only is a good compromise and my personal gripes with #FSF & #GNUtils as well as #GlibC are something different...
Continued thread
Now #uutil is going to replace #coreutils ? Not trusting that one bit.
The core utilities of any given #operatingsystem, as well as the kernel, display protocol, etc, etc, etc should NEVER be up to #liberal #licensing like #MIT or #BSD.
For total power to the user, the fundamental technological stack should be #copyleft, because we should have #legal expectations towards vendors.
This is also from the system that brought you #snaps. #canonical wants a #walledgarden and it shows.

VMware's latest #licensing scheme: a masterclass in "How to Alienate Customers 101" 
. Apparently, they think small businesses have 72-core servers just lying around next to the water cooler

"Since at least April 2021, the Montana medical licensing board has had evidence, including thousands of pages of patient files and medical reviews, that Dr. Thomas C. Weiner, a popular Helena oncologist, had hurt and potentially killed patients, ProPublica and Montana Free Press have learned. Yet in that time, the board renewed his medical license — twice."

@maxthefox I guess the only option I'd know is take a release version of Windows 10 and install/prepare it inside a VM with drivers/guest additions yourself.
- Due to #licensing and #copyright, there's no "legitimate" option to get that.

Woohoo, Java 24 is here, just in time for the 90s to finally get closure! Enjoy scouring through endless tar.gz files for a "production-ready" experience, while #Oracle sits in the corner selling non-open-source licenses like it's a yard sale.

I'd rather want a #honest #MSRP than a effectivley unavailable one.
- OFC I don't expect a board partner to accept a margin of just $4, but it would be easier to accept a 5% higher MSRP than having no stock at MSRP.
And yes, I blame #AMD, #nvidia and #intel doing #Greedflation against #consumers because I'm very certain they don't sell #silicon at cost for a fixed price per unit depending on the order size, but rather charge a cut of the sold model (similar to #ARM does nowadays for their #licensing)...
- People, #StopBuyingAboveMSRP!
