We need something better than Anubis that can run with JS disabled

I don’t mind if people use LGPL or some derivative of GPL. All I want is improvements to the source be published, and MIT simply doesn’t enforce that. I have no intention to force companies to publish their code that they have worked on for a long time - doing that never really helps. But I do want them to publish changes they make to already FOSS products so the author and the community can benefit.

Thank you for your work. If people like you were all around us, then I wouldn’t mind as much projects using MIT since we would still see contributions. But I doubt there’s that many people out there like you. Thank you for contributing to FOSS.

MAC is generally more complex than simple Unix permissions. Whether SELinux is more complex than AppArmour is more up to preference in my opinion

ACLs are pretty good and have come in handy for me multiple times

SRE here and I agree with you. I’m basically a glorified Linux admin lol

The very act of writing FOSS code is altruistic. Indeed, I’m looking at the big corporations when I point and say “thief!”.

Some companies do work that I like though. Mullvad is a prime example. Recently I’ve been looking at Nym and I like their ideas and work. I really liked that the big giants like Google and IBM collaborated for k8s. I believe Uber has done something wonderful for the FOSS community too but I don’t remember what it is. The fact is that they can if they try

I understand that if your boss tells you to write MIT/Proprietary code, you do so. I just wish that the ones who had a choice would use GPL

I understand. I can’t argue against wanting to earn money and be told to do something. I just wish that those that have a choice would take the extra minute to use GPL

Because most corporations do not contribute their changes back if it’s MIT/BSD licensed

Look, I understand if your boss tells you to not write Open-source/only use MIT so they can profit off of it later on. But for the people who have a choice, why wouldn’t they? I don’t see how it hurts their bottom line.

I’m middle class and here I am raging on Lemmy about software licenses LMAO

In this case, yes. If you were altruistic toward the community, shareholders could instruct devs to use it anyway so it works out for both groups. Doesn’t work the other way around

Sorry, I’m not much of a software dev so bear with me:

If the libraries are GPL licensed, is there a problem? Unless you’re editing the libraries themselves.

Now if the application is GPL licensed and you’re adding functionality to use other libraries, please push upstream. It helps the community and the author will more likely than not be happy to receive it

Exactly

Yeah I think it’s a much bigger pain on Android

I have and I’ve been left scratching my head both times. AppArmour just deals with files whilst SELinux has contexts - that’s the only operational difference I’ve needed to notice. I create custom policies and am on my way.

Exactly. I use setroubleshoot myself and it’s awesome.

I agree that creating custom policies for a bunch of apps day in day out will be tiring. But that is an argument against all MAC. I personally don’t want to see Linux going the way of abandoning MAC

I guess I can’t really fault that. Developers not interested in the license they use to publish code baffles me

What freedom in the sense of writing code does the GPL inhibit? GPL simply says that changes to the source must be published. MIT is just a scapegoat for companies to get stuff for free without helping the developer that’s giving their time and soul for it
