  • I have the opposite opinion about this issue.

    MIT-like licenses allow corpos to take over a project and make it private step by step (kinda like boiling a frog), first create a “open source” fork and fund it to the max. then step by step make it not open source. after a while (could be years) there is no open source influence and most of the project is under the command of the corpo.

    the most recent one being android.

    I have come to the conclusion that people that use MIT-like licenses don’t care at all about software freedom (which is kinda obvious if you read MIT license itself).

    so I try to contribute to projects that are immune to that by using copy-left licenses ,so called viral licenses that “limit” the ability of corpos to take over a project with the intention of making private or even create a private fork of it.

    you are corporation and want to contribute to a project to make it better? cool, so it would not matter to you if the license is MIT or GPL? right??? you don’t want to do a sneaky fork and make it private, right? so you would have no issue with GPL.

    when free software devs recommend using MIT-like licenses I am reminded of the meme cartoon about sheep recommending befriending the wolf.

    It is almost like they learned nothing from software development trends of rent seeking private sector.

    the beauty of GPL-like is that I can be sure when I help it make better I am not helping a private entity later take it over and privatize it. I want to help humanity not help private sector make money with propriety software.

    when you make your license MIT-like you are not saying I am maximizing software freedom. you are saying I don’t care what happens to this software.






  • for the life of me I can’t make it be unselected. try it for your self. from web page select setting and then de-select the undetermined and select a language (for example english) and then press save at the bottom. come back to setting page and see undetermined be selected again. the English or other languages you selected are saved correctly but for the life of me I cant disable undetermined.

    it pollutes my feed with german french and other languages that I don’t understand.






  • I dont think usa was secular ever (in the france kind of secular).

    but if you mean that religious extremism retoric have become the norm in US , that is correct and kinda obvious.

    to be honest I can’t even fault the folk that are christian Zionist (an weird combo) because a lot of money have been poured into it. And if last decade in US shown anything is that money(greed) is king.

    and I don’t think this is reversible because the rich elites in USA are getting more and more concentrated power and put more money into those extremists.

    a good example is just observing oracle founder Larry Ellison and Peter Thiel and palanter Alex Karp owner and others like them and see them become even more ghoul-like and very direct and if you face. they no longer cover up their inhuman genocidal ideas behind interest groups and shell think-tanks.



  • I am trying to show you some points.

    all those you call secular governments in west like uk usa france germany and so on, did and continue to do invasions war crimes and atrocity world over.

    so I don’t get your obsession with non-secular countries, and thinking that only non-secular countries are capable of good.

    whatever my government does , doesn’t even get near to level of what Israel did for the last 80 years and especially last two years.

    and all those “secular” countries supported israel completely with actions (words are useless)

    israel is a secular country? if so that is news to their government which read from their religious texts when they do an genocide and war crimes. if you have not head that it is because you are ignorant. and those secular regimes is west are completely fine with them doing it.

    so I don’t think west care about religious genocide if their buddies commit it.

    and my country needs the nukes to survive as history has shown western regimes treaties are not worth the paper that it is written on. if jcpoa didnt show that nothing will. they bombed who they want and kill whoever they want.

    be better informed and don’t be fox news level of ignorant.


  • if palestine shown anything is that the collective west didnt grow out of any of its bad habits.

    whole of west got behind destroying syria so that “assad” should go because he was bad. because assa “bombed hostpitals and you wouldnt do that even to kill Al-Qaeda terrorists”

    now he is replaced with Al-Qaeda commander and he gets welcomed in france and usa. and jewish isis gets to bomb every hospital and university and be the animal that they are because “khamas”.

    if you think western regime goals is “saving gays” or something like that you are retarded.

    if Libya Syria Afghanistan and of course the best of them saudi arabia was not enough to show you what is the most important foreign goals of eu and usa, I can’t help you.
