Our sister organisation the @fsf has published its evaluation of the #Llama 3.1 CommunityLicense Agreement. This is not a #FreeSoftware (#OpenSource) license. Read more why it does not qualify https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/llama-3-1-community-license-is-not-a-free-software-license

@lxo @amszmidt @nparafe @fsfe @fsf @osi I understand your point. But over the last two decades I have meet so many people who strongly believe in what you described for Free Software, while they called it Open Source. That was different in "the old days". So while I, and the @fsfe call what we are fighting for Free Software, or we talk about software freedom, others out there had the same believes, fought for the same topics, but called it Open Source.

@lxo @amszmidt @nparafe @fsfe @fsf @osi For me they are part of our movement for software freedom, when they share our values and by their actions, while they might still use other terms than I do.

As soon more and more summer vacations for pupils start: why not gift a copy of "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Rasberry Ice Cream" (6-106y) to children around you? It is currently available from publishers in English, German, French, Italian, and Danish from book stores. (@fsfe volunteers are working on more languages.)

Open a text editor, see password and try it out can be a criminal offence according to a German court. RIDICULOUS!!!https://www.heise.de/en/news/Federal-Constitutional-Court-rejects-appeal-in-Modern-Solution-case-10663687.html"#ModernSolution had stored the data of all shoppers ... in a single database. The password for this ... was stored unencrypted in an executable file of the middleware software and was the same for all MS customers. ... anyone with access to this software, which could be downloaded freely from the internet at the time, could easily obtain this data."

What do Youth Hacking 4 Freedom participants do about an hour before the award ceremony for the winners? They sit in the hotel's lobby and try to get the #FreeSoftware operating system @postmarketOS running on a @Fairphone version 2. 🤗 #YH4F

@mainec it is actually written by Wiebke, who worked on Ada & Zangemann as my editor and it is on @OReillyMedia 's side edited by Ariane, who was also editor for Ada & Zangemann. I loved to work with both of them, and was happy to see that they worked on this new book together.

@mainec Thank you so much to you and your daughter for reading the book together with the audience. Really great approach and I received very positive feedback. For me it is always a huge boost when I read the book to children, and I can just recommend it to everyone to try it out yourself!

Sad to see this happening: #Google will now publish #AOSP only in Q2 and Q4, instead of every quarter before. See the note on https://source.android.com (thanks to @grote for the ping) #FreeSoftware #OpenSource

❤️ Thank you @bagder for maintaining #curl since 1998. What would we do without it, how long would it take us, and what code quality would those solutions have without you? Thank you so much! ❤️ ...and how on earth would people be able to check the weather forecast without curl? 😉 (Please join me in thanking Daniel, and let others here on the #Fediverse know about your favourite ways of using #curl )
