The FSF considers large language models / LWN
｢ Nick Clifton asked whether the FSF is working on a new version of the GNU General Public License — a GPLv4 — that takes LLM-generated code into account. No license changes are under consideration now, Siewicz answered; instead, the FSF is considering adjustments to the Free Software Definition first ｣

Generally speaking, #copyleft codebases interact best with small-to-medium business ventures rather than advancing the interests of megacorps.
#Mastodon is an obvious example — which has a growing ecosystem of small businesses (like @mastohost) & nonprofit entities working in collaboration.
We see similar in the #GPL'd #Drupal community.
When megacorps get involved with copylefted projects, it's usually to exploit rather than engage — hence the widespread #GPLv2 violations on #Linux.

Proud that @fsfe volunteer @nicolef went through this whole process with #sumup about the #GNU #GPL.
Nicole’s efforts show that individuals can have outsized positive impacts on #softwarefreedom, and many little steps like Nicole’s, when taken together, can amount to a large enough movement to further develop the #FreeSoftware movement in a positive direction.

Thanks also to @conservancy and @LaF0rge for all the work they do / did on this.

This is a story of how Nicole Faerber enforced #GPL and required source code from @sumup.
Very interesting and informative report.

I tend to unironically enjoy hold music
I'm hoping, @cwebber, you are familiar with this #ThisAmericanLife segment?… https://www.thisamericanlife.org/516/stuck-in-the-middle-2014/act-one-0
…Since I heard the above ≈10 yrs ago, I've been annoyed ∄ a searchable database of known hold music (no, I won't use Google or Alexa).
Another thing I ponder on hold, when I hear #GPL'd clips that are clearly Allison Smith's voice¹ from #Asterisk, I wonder if playing them for me is distribution & thus a GPL violation.

DRS but for #Proxmox? Yes!
With #ProxLB (free and #opensource / #GPLv3) you can get something which comes close to it - also featuring things like affinity/anti-affinity rules, node pinning, grouping and maintenance mode for multiple nodes. And if you’re even more interested, there’ll be a talk about my project at the #DutchProxmoxDay next month :)
