| | | | | [AI summary] The article critiques the push for new open source licenses like the Hippocratic License, arguing that they are not necessary for building communities around shared values. It highlights the importance of understanding the foundations of FOSS, engaging in practical community-building, and collaborating rather than imposing singular visions. The author emphasizes that existing licenses and the global commons already provide a framework for contributing to shared values, and that focusing on legal and community efforts outside of licensing is more effective. The piece also stresses the need for collective, evidence-based approaches over individual heroism in driving change. | |

| | | The GNU General Public License started life as the GNU Emacs Public License in 1987 (the linked version is from February 1988), and has been built on the principle of copyleft: the use of the copyright system to enforce software freedom through licensing. This prototype version of the GPL was used for other packages, such as GNU Bison (in 1988), and Nethack (in 1989), and was most likely written by Richard Stallman himself. | ||
