@ngn #bleedingedge doesn't mean #newesttechnology, as you could be running #xorg built directly form main branch, instead of semi recent release of any #wayland desktop. About the #rhel, isnt their source code still avaiable if you are #redhat customer? From what I remember you will stop being theri customer if you release #rhel patches, but isnt the point of using #rhel the access to all tools that are build around its ecosystem and maintained by #redhat, and not just the packages. Anyway, besides that, whatever #licence #rhel had and now has, even assuming all #redhat did was took #fedora #linux applied some patches, and tried to sell it exclusively, is that really wrong? I mean, this process has to be at least somehwat difficult, for companies to consider paying #redhat to do that. Back to the topic of #fedora being testing ground, I guess some #distro has to be the one that pushes the most into #newesttechnology, even if sometimes it may not be in ready state, or its acceptable only for some subset of its users. Even when its not fun, it is part of all #communityprojects, when eventually someone will rise issues that their niche usecase is no longer supported, or the newly added feature sucks for majority of users, or the improvement that took focus of all developers wont be used by anything as other things have yet to addapt to it.

#Police in #Essex raided a house for #drugs and found a small #alligator - the couple in the house were #nicked both on suspicion of drugs dealing, and not having a valid #licence for the alligator (you can get one, they are only about £250 a year but require providing full details of your enclosure, vet's details and what steps are being taken to ensure #AnimalWelfare

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 ...)?

“[Mistral's] models […] are firmly middling. […] So #Mistral has tried to make its name by competing more obliquely. For instance, many of its models are #opensource: anyone may download and use them without explicit permission, for no charge. Others are released under the company’s own "research" #licence; commercial users must pay for them, #hobbyists and #hackers can fool around with them #freely.”
