@brainwane This is a great post!

@zig @sheogorath @freemo The worst part is that perfectly good actors in this space are picking it up *without understanding* what the implications of it are, and how broken it is.

We need to articulate that clearly, and fast.

@zig @sheogorath @freemo I think that the parity license is the most extreme example of a poorly thought through license where the implications of it really aren't understood. And it's perfectly set up for predatory behavior in terms of bad-faith pressuring for relicensing.

@nightpool Yes, a lot of it is community knowledge and poorly disseminated. I am trying to do some organization to do better about that.

@rootwyrm If you read carefully what i wrote, and also read the things I've been saying, I think you'll see that what you're asserting is not a position I am taking.

I'm seeing a lot of calls for re-examination of FOSS values. In a sense I agree largely: I've myself been arguing for critical re-examination and re-articulation of FOSS principles. However, I see a lot of people calling for things that have been shown to be broken (the non-composability of CC *-NC and *-ND licenses are an example). That's making me fairly nervous that we're going to undo a lot of the structures that have allowed for collaboration and enter an era of confusion.

Can't seem to write right now. Seem to be able to hack though, so doing that instead.

@trwnh Yes, and I responded!

kinda stole this joke from @tmarble

"Let's get ready to Mumbleeeeee!!!!"

Back on track.

@technomancy @bgcarlisle I think he was forced into that position of awareness, from the flossip I've heard.

But that's still progress, I suppose.

Ok... time to do like, a *lot* of writing on the Secure UIs paper from Rebooting Web of Trust. Goal is to finish it by the end of next week.

@tmarble will be helping me later today. Looking forward to that collaboration!

@vaartis @rin "What saved Vi when it became Vim was it became an emacs" -- @antifuchs

In the original editor wars, before Vim, the key argument for Vi is it followed the Unix philosophy... it didn't have a scripting system and didn't need it.
