Why #GPL? "Using the #GNU GPL will require that all the released improved versions be free software. This means you can avoid the risk of having to compete with a proprietary modified version of your own work." More at https://u.fsf.org/3kr

Thank you random arch forum user from 2011

From the preamble of the #GNU #GPL: '[T]he GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users. [...]' https://u.fsf.org/3kz

@ltning I think the GitHub is already unacceptable, but that is for other reasons than that of complying with the #GNU It #GPL.

This thought experiment sorta reminds me how many countries require government to provide documentation of various things ... but they can send it on paper tape to comply (and then charge a nominal fee for printing).

What time zone are you in that you still have #April1st?

#GNU #Rust #GNU #GNU #C #Scheme #Rust

#licesing question.

People share (a)gpl code on github. Github is not available everywhere (even read access I think).

Does that break the GPL?

"...must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software"

(AGPL 3, section 13)

The #GNU project is switching to #Rust!

I'm happy to announce that the prefered language in the #GNU coding
standards, and the #GNU maintainer guide, which for many years has been
#C and #Scheme, has been updated to #Rust after just a single vote!

@oantolin See also: #GNU Hyperbole is an #Emacs extension for ubiquitous magic links.

After decades of using the Bold GNU Head as its emblem, the #GNU Project has announced plans to change their mascot to the baby gnu: https://u.fsf.org/46h #FSF

The March #GNU Spotlight with Amin Bandali is here with eighteen new releases in the last month: https://u.fsf.org/46i #GNUBoot #GNUOctave #GNUZile

News #Microsoft decided to make #Windows finally #libre after all these years.

So I think I will be moving to Windows now to try it out.

Pues he decidido (otra vez y a ver cuánto dura) intentar no depender de Windows para nada y voy a usar alternativas (wine, alternativas en GNULinux, etc) para poder lograrlo

Si alguien me da un consejo estaré súper agradecida :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

Truly free #GNU/Linux distributions like #Dragora, #Trisquel, and #Parabola tend to have fewer contributors but all the same hosting expenses as larger distros. Have you donated to support them yet? https://trisquel.info/en/donate #FreeSoftware #FSF

@ark74 que genial la promoción de #Trisquel en su espacio, así mismo sería bueno que vayan poco a poco echándole un ojito a #GNU #Guix que también es 100% libre, como experiencia personal llevo poco tiempo probando el sistema y va de maravilla. Éxitos!

@ramin_hal9001 I would be happy if we had #GNU Emacs provide #Emacs bindings at this point ... @sacha @firebreathingduck
