The Immich news today I hope is the start of a trend. Vitally important projects that will help us be freed from the clutches of the big few tech companies nurtured and protected. I do hope the FUTO turn out to be the good guys their site appears to make them out to be. Time will be the judge. But it's a very promising thing. Congrats to the #immich project.

@ironicbadger Welp guess I wont use it now because FUTO doesn't understand what Open Source is

@10leej that's the solution surely, not trying to make sure they do. (I disagree with your take BTW)

@10leej @ironicbadger Why do you say that? (it's the first time I hear about FUTO)

@10leej is an familiar but how does just saying “well that’s it I won’t use it” instead of trying to educate the answer? The code is still open. Nothing has changed there except the devs are getting paid

@ironicbadger My issue is that they don't allow distribution. So even if I get GreyJay I can only get it from them directly legally. Which means I cannot just pass the apk package around via sneakernet which is still a very common practice in my area.

@10leej @ironicbadger In Immich case they are continuing to publish with AGPL license though

@fabrice @10leej @ironicbadger That's helpful, thank you. So that's GrayJay, and they explain the reason for that license (though I agree with the post that Trademark would be a better tool here.)All the other FUTO projects I looked at are properly Open Source. Immich will stay Open Source (according to their blog post).

@teleclimber @10leej @ironicbadger Yeah, I think at least the GrayJay situation is an interesting questioning of "how do we sustainably fund open source software?"Their solution has issues, but purely OSS licenses are not sufficient either, and I'm not sure how trademarks help small projects (that works fine enough for something large & well known such as Firefox).

@fabrice @teleclimber @ironicbadger Trademarks are completely allowed under both OSS and FOSS licenses.
