Microsoft turns 50 today. What better way to celebrate than by making Windows #FreeSoftware under the #GPL - where users actually control their computers.

It's never too late to start respecting the rights of the user, Microsoft. #SoftwareFreedom

Developers, let's empower and protect users and the community by releasing your software under the #GNU #GPL. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html By doing so, you're taking a stand for user rights and defending against proprietary software. Your contributions can help move #FreeSoftware forward. Together, we can build software that belongs to everyone. Join the movement and make a difference! #SoftwareFreedom

Does the #GPL require that source code of modified versions be posted to the public? "The GPL does not require you to release your modified version, or any part of it. You are free to [...]" Read the full answer at https://u.fsf.org/3kt

« Posons-nous un instant la question : qu’est-ce que le #code #source d’un réseau de #neurones ? […] La #GPL fournit une définition : le code source est la forme de l’œuvre privilégiée pour effectuer des #modifications. Dans cette acception, le code source d’un réseau de neurones serait l’#algorithme d’entraînement, le réseau de neurones de départ et le #corpus sur lequel le réseau a été entraîné »

I am doing a webinar tomorrow on "Maths Education with the #Moodle STACK Question Type"
https://moodle.academy/calendar/view.php?view=day&course=1&time=1743494400#event_26872

I had made a short video to promote it but my colleague at @catalysteu took the mp4 and tightened it up rather nicely

This is the service we offer (but its all #GPL)

#licesing question.

People share (a)gpl code on github. Github is not available everywhere (even read access I think).

Does that break the GPL?

"...must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software"

(AGPL 3, section 13)

The dedication of @rms to the GNU project and his work on copyleft licenses have made a profound impact on the software world. Through the GPL, RMS has ensured that software users retain essential freedoms - freedoms to use, study, change and share. #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #GPL #Copyleft

@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?

How do I use GNU licenses for my own software? We are glad you asked! Please see our "GPL how to" page for the full answer and thank you for making the ethical choice! https://u.fsf.org/2b5 #GPL

I have wanted to use the #collaboraonline online office suite for my online Office suite for a long time.
After a lot of experime

ntation and learning I have it working on my self hosted #Nextcloud and it does what I want and seems responsive. However one of the big learning points is that most of my online writing requirements are met with the built in #markdown editor.

You all have the right to write #FreeSoftware, and you write whatever you want.

And when you look at what software other people are writing, keep it in mind, that they have the right to write whatever software they feel like.

They even have all rights to license it under #MIT or #BSD licenses, because everyone has the right to make objectively wrong decisions, too
