You see, when #OSI people talk about "license proliferation" they means "#copyleft proliferation" that is, in fact, the proliferation of licenses that protect the work from appropriation.

In fact, OSI approved over 100 mostly equivalent permissive licenses, among which some masterpiece like the #FairLicense https://opensource.org/license/fair just because they were backed by the right corporation.

They cry about license proliferation only when a #copyleft license conflict with the interests of their largest sponsors.

Indeed the #MongoDB #SSPL was not approved while #Amazon was one of the biggest OSI donor, while #CAL (that was even more "dangerous" as a copyleft according to the same arguments that got SSPL refused) was approved, because no #BigTech ever gave a shit about blockchain stuff (for obvious reasons).

The OSI behaviour over the years shows that they cry about license proliferation only to justify their refusals. So if they don't care, you shouldn't either.

Sure, conflicts among licenses exists (for example, you cannot mix code under the #HackingLicense and code under #GPL), but right now we need first and foremost to widen the overton windows that OSI gatekeepers try desperately to keep closed.

We have urgent need of new licenses that can protect the commons that we create without restricting their spread and evolution.

Code is Speech.

Finally finished all 24 squares for the #CAL blanket I’m working on. This goes with the squares I shared eons ago… still need to do three other types of shapes and then putting it all together. So will be a while longer. Love the colors though.

#ACC #CollegeFootball

#Cal is favored by over 5 to 1 by #ESPN to beat #Stanford in the #BigGame today & I can't believe that the game isn't being aired on any local #TV channel & can only be seeing on the #ACCChannel that can only be seen by streaming it on #Fubo with a subscription fee as high as $80/month.🤦

I know that Fubo is offering a #FreeTrial that could enable me to watch the fame for free but I refuse to signup for any "free trials" to do something like that.

Besides, I really hate watching anything on my tiny laptop & I still haven't figured out how to connect it to my #BigScreenTV via #HDMI. 🤷

Just discovered that Fubo is available as an app on #Amazon #Firestick & I've got one on my big screen TV but I still won't sign up for it just to watch the game.

Go Bears!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Dems are #Cal Band: big, army-style show for an ultimately doomed effort

GOP Classic are Stanford Band: lewd chaos muppets. Both in a kayfabe rivalry driving revenues.

T••••’s a scalper ripping off latecomers with fake tickets
