  • I agree that all that can be done is sue them and lets the courts decide what the meaning of the GPL contract is.

    I’m surprised at the link you gave since it is written by someone who agrees with my take, not yours and RedHat’s. And you stated clearly that RedHat absolutely is not violating the GPL, when that is actually just your opinion. The real tldr quote of that article is:

    Debates continue, even today, in copyleft expert circles, whether this model itself violates GPL. There is, however, no doubt that this provision is not in the spirit of the GPL agreements.

    Time for a GPL version 4: no extraneous agreements that nullify GPL terms.

    My apologies if I seem too hostile. I firmly believe this is an existential issue for open source.








  • It would be nice if the welcome page would tell you what community it will be redirecting you too. Right now it looks like something hijacked my browser; I don’t really trust it.

    Also, I got error 500 after entering my hostname.

    And it might take some effort. But if you had a searchable select box populated with a master list of instances, that might be pretty cool.

    In the end, training everyone to make lmmy.to urls when they reference a community may be too difficult. This needs to be a builtin feature of the lemmi web ui somehow.
