« Posons-nous un instant la question : qu’est-ce que le #code #source d’un réseau de #neurones ? […] La #GPL fournit une définition : le code source est la forme de l’œuvre privilégiée pour effectuer des #modifications. Dans cette acception, le code source d’un réseau de neurones serait l’#algorithme d’entraînement, le réseau de neurones de départ et le #corpus sur lequel le réseau a été entraîné »

I am doing a webinar tomorrow on "Maths Education with the #Moodle STACK Question Type"
moodle.academy/calendar/view.p

I had made a short video to promote it but my colleague at @catalysteu took the mp4 and tightened it up rather nicely

This is the service we offer (but its all #GPL)

#licesing question.

People share (a)gpl code on github. Github is not available everywhere (even read access I think).

Does that break the GPL?

"...must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software"

(AGPL 3, section 13)

Den zweiten Teil unterstützt es hiermit jetzt besser.

Es wird ja ab und zu gerne das Bild des Kulturkampfs zwischen den Verfechter:innen von permissiver Lizenzenzierung und Copyleft-Lizenzierung gesprochen.

Wenn ihr Sourcecode veröffentlicht würden mich die Gründe interessieren, warum ihr euch für den einen Lizenztyp entscheidet:

Warum veröffentlichst du Code unter einer permissiven Lizenz (MIT, Apache, ...)?


Warum veröffentlichst du Code unter einer Copyleft-Lizenz (GPL, AGPL ...)?



#opensource #gpl #bsd #licence

so, uh, the GPL's text proposes that an interactive-mode program should display something like this when starting up:

<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type "show w".
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type "show c" for details.

and i just realized that this is awfully similar to the way GDB's interface works. the notice is different, and the commands are show copying and show warranty instead, but you can see how the two are related.

if anything, this makes me think that the text used in the GPL might have been taken from an earlier version of GDB, back when show had fewer possible parameters and it was possible to unambiguously assign show c and show w to "show the program's license" and "show the warranty info"...

💡 Using the MIT license might seem like a good idea, but:

❌ Allows your code to be used in proprietary software
❌ No obligation to share improvements
❌ Companies can profit without giving back
❌ Doesn’t protect user freedom

📢 If you want your code to stay free: use GPL.

My games Ball2Box, Pocket Broomball and Sn4ke will be removed from the Apple Appstore by the end of April.

They are licensed
under AGPLv3 and this license is incompatible with the Apple Appstore, because the ToS of the store put additional restrictions on the rights of the users.

I guess the only way to release my games to iOS will be trough alt stores, but I don't know if they are incompatible with copy left licenses too.
altstore.io/ seems interesting.

You all have the right to write #FreeSoftware, and you write whatever you want.

And when you look at what software other people are writing, keep it in mind, that they have the right to write whatever software they feel like.

They even have all rights to license it under #MIT or #BSD licenses, because everyone has the right to make objectively wrong decisions, too 😂
