ShamarI think @rms did a huge error basing what was a hacker¹ movement on the value of freedom alone.
#Freedom (like #Communion) is a totalizant value, a value that can blind people from other important values, so much that it's the foundational value of #Capitalism (much like what #Communion was for #Comunism).
As we can all see that #FreeSoftware lost its political goals, being used much more to reduce human freedom than to increase it (#Google and #Facebook would not exists without exploiting huge amount of developers' work donated as Free Software, much like #GitHub #Copilot / #CopyALot), we should really move to something different.
Years ago I wrote the #HackingLicense ² to this aim, a (network) #copyleft license (and a shrink-wrap contract) that has been used successfully in a couple of projects.
It doesn't forbid commercial use of the covered works and even share the copyright with the users that comply with the license itself, BUT contractually impose a complete reciprocity, as any work that benefit in any way from the covered work must be distributed in the same way.
IOW, if you use my work under the Hacking License, I can use and distribute your work under the same terms. Even if it's a LLM, or a software including its output.
I'm not sure the Hacking License is the best tool to get back freedom, communion and #Curiosity, but at least it's a step in the right direction.
