A: A miserable block of text, next question - Copyright law is a bitch, Posting your stuff online is a bitch - Basically a license is your way of telling other people what they can and can’t do with your stuff - By default, your stuff is under All Rights Reserved, which means you own it and if anyone wants to use it/look at it/share it/what have you, then they’ve gotta go through you first - In practice, that's probably not gonna stop anyone until you get lawyers involved - So with the kind of licenses you can get off the shelf, there’s two main types, Permissive and Restrictive, I find it helpful to think of these from the point of view of big corpo - Permissive: Basically gives downstream people more freedom to do whatever they want. Like making their own copy of your stuff and selling it - Big companies will generally only use dependencies if they’re under a permissive license - Restrictive: Intended to protect specific freedoms, like distribution and modification - Licenses can attempt to enforce other things like ethics clauses or royalty free - Royalties in this case are basically a subscription fee to use a copyrighted work ] #slide[ #toolbox.register-section("FOSS Licenses") #set align(center) #set align(horizon) = FOSS Licenses #colbreak() #set align(left) #set align(top) FOSS stands for Free and Open Source Software, the definition of which is loosely enforced by the Open Source Initiative and Free Software Foundation // inset: 0.5em, ] #slide[ = FOSS Freedoms #toolbox.side-by-side[ - As outlined by the Stall Man himself, this outlines what’s open source or not 0.
