What did the original kernel not support?

with strong copyleft licenses, businesses must give back, namely when expanding the program

A user is required to make the source open only if they create a derivative work of the copyleft licensed work, and only if said work was distributed to users. And if I remember correctly, it is only required to open the source to the users it was distributed to.

They do not have to do any profit sharing or donation. They are not even required to make the code open source if they merely use this program, or they interface with it. They are not required to do anything if they only use it internally.

no, thats also the open source definition

Correction: the definition of open source by a specific organization, the OSI.

I don't remember voting or appointing the OSI as our legitimate representative. But you know who did? Corporations like Amazon, Google, Bloomberg, and many of them: https://opensource.org/sponsors

I do not subscribe to a definition from such an organization, just because it has open source in the name.

I am pretty sure that if you ask most open source developers if they are happy about corporations profitting off their software without giving back, they would say no.

The FSF and OSI do not allow licenses that limit corporate leech or restrict profiting of software without giving back.

That's the FSF definition. Most users and developers of open source do not care at all about that, and certainly do not care about protecting corporate right to use their software without giving back.

To many of them, open source is about transparency, community driven development, open contribution model, forkability, etc.

What niche communities do you wish existed or were more active?

What communities do you wish existed here or were more active?

Wayfire is not tiling right? I imagine its a similar reason people didn't use open box much. It's a non-tiling window system, and people who go that route tend to to full DE. But I am with you. I wonder why not many more people use them.

Doas is cool. I actually switched to it shortly before ditching both it and sudo, and deciding to rely on a users/groups system.

What kinds of opinions do you think are lacking? And what niche topics you wish lemmy had communities for?
