gpl

Remember, you can always slap the #GNU #GPL on a permissibly licensed work. #FreeSoftware for the win.

… And so it begins.

I am laying in bed rn reading deposition transcripts from SFC's lawsuit against #Vizio.

I know it's not a flattering photo & now the #DebConf 2016 team in Cape Town know I use the T-shirt they gave me as sleepwear.

We're starting a 14-week marathon to adjudicate your rights under #GPL when you go to the store and buy a #Linux based device.

Watch this space & SFC's website for the journey.

There's a reason why courtroom fiction is popular TV. Get ready for the real stuff!

Today, @richardfontana & I restarted, relaunched, & revitalized copyleft-next.

All versions & variants of #GPL are great licenses. But, today, #GPLv3 turned 18 years old & #GPLv2 turned 34 years old.

At least once in a generation, #FOSS needs a new approach to strong #copyleft.
