The high profile #GPL that @conservancy brings are last resort - they are only the most visible part of our enforcement efforts.

We work hard to respond the violation reports we receive, and work with companies to get them into compliance.

We launched Use the Source to do more of our work in a way that people can see, and participate too, working towards using the source code we receive to do cool things with our own devices :)

Only $2401 left to our match goal!

OK Team Fedi, we've now just got $2,797 left to raise in this year's Software Freedom Conservancy fundraiser!!

If you care about our awesome member projects, about helping newcomers get their start in #FOSS, or standing up for the #GPL and #copyleft, now is the time!

https://sfconservancy.org/sustainer/

Let's go for #softwarefreedom!!!

And if you don't ask us questions about #SFC or #softwarefreedom, I may ask you questions!

Anything is fair game - have any questions about @outreachy? The Vizio case? #GPL enforcement? Our member projects? Being a #cyborg?

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.

These posts have details: https://lists.copyleft.org/pipermail/next/2025q2/000000.html & https://fedi.copyleft.org/@next/114769761806288554

I ask you to follow @next & check out our website at https://next.copyleft.org/.

FYI: I'll migrate this account to @bkuhn@copyleft.org later this week.

Ah yes, code scanners.

~It's not me trying to steal your work and undermine your workers rights you understand. It's the machine that demands it.~ 😉

If my code license offends you, remove my code. I have no business making it popular, only useful under the terms.
