💡 Je viens de découvrir cette vidéo publiée hier par Anis Ayari. Bien documentée et structurée, elle dure 25 min., et Anis y retrace habilement l'histoire de #RichardStallman, père du #LogicielsLibres. Il évoque ses débuts, ses succès 🏆, et, sans concession, sa singulière personnalité ainsi que sa chute 💥 liée à ses propos controversés en lien avec l'affaire #JeffreyEpstein. Une vidéo de qualité !

"...why when or or projects try to do something like this then everybody turns into knots to discourage you that it's wrong, impossible or doesn't fulfill OSI or the principles or whatever..."

Because the 'F' in FOSS stands for 'Free(dom)', and they're effectively removing people's freedom with these restrictions.

If a project wants to be FOSS, they can't do this. If they want to do this, they can't be FOSS. IMO.

The mobygratis.com/ website says this when you want to use thier music:

"there are only 2 things you can't do with the music here; use it to advertise right wing politics or causes, or use it to promote meat, dairy, or other animal products."

Sounds easy and cool, but then why when #opensource or #foss or #oss projects try to do something like this then everybody turns into knots to discourage you that it's wrong, impossible or doesn't fulfill OSI or the #fsf principles or whatever...
