I have begun a fork of !GPLv3 on GitHub: http://ur1.ca/9pucd !fsf !gnu
- Evan Prodromou repeated this.

Most important change so far: http://ur1.ca/9pugw

Damn, you’re good. #notatroll
-
I’m tempted to fork your project in an effort to restore GPLv3 compatibility. #libregpl

Brilliant! ♻ @fontana I have begun a fork of !GPLv3 on GitHub: http://ur1.ca/9pucd !fsf !gnu

You, sir, are a badass.
-
@fontana Interesting that you specifically say “program”; implying with certainty this is an only-software license?
-
CC0’ed stuff? This is why we need the General Public General Public License License, a copyleft license for copyleft license text.

Inspired #trolldonation: unmodifyable licenses are nonfree works, and so should not be included in free distros

@cwebber you’re the first person besides me I’ve heard say that … SIL thought me nuts when I asked their Open Font License text not be ©

@cwebber actually in #GPL.next I’m thinking of replacing “Program” with “Work” to emphasize that license can be used for non-software
-
@fontana, I find it !disturbing that you use a proprietary network service to work on your fork of !GPLv3. I won’t participate b/c of that.

In all seriousness, I’m amused by GPL.next, but my feelings are mostly “License proliferation is not the answer.”
-
@cwebber Objections to “license proliferation” often seem to be a subtle form of attempted censorship by the !establishment
-
@fontana yet it’s an issue, isn’t it? Thou shalt not fork unless extremely necessary! licenses = standards: the more, the messier
-
@carlopiana that sounds like arguments raised against !GPLv3 by some #GPLv2 proponents
-
@fontana fully ACK. But v.3 had strong rationale (eg swpats) and occurred 15 years later. I’m just speaking in general, not taking sides.
-
@carlopiana 5 years is the new 15 years
-
@fontana Well it’s a good thing I’m transitioning out of my job at the #establishment then; must be a sincere concern ;)
