@contramork @judsonlester @munin @yourcompanionAI I'm not sure I follow your second tweet. And I've 90+% quit Twitter because it makes everything terrible 90+% of the time---like now---that I want to better understand a view I don't already hold. What are you up to? Can we trade some e-mails? I'm [email protected].

@judsonlester @contramork @munin @yourcompanionAI If there ever is a labor union, the first things it should do is tell members to stop giving all their work away for free under MIT, BSD, Apache, etc. Then write a new license, for those who do need exposure to build rep and experience.

@contramork @judsonlester @munin @yourcompanionAI L0 doesn't employ anyone. Personally, I'm not interested in building any model that reinforces a link between employer and healthcare. Successful indies and business owners make enough money to buy their own coverage. I pay that bill every month, thanks to my clients.

@bmann @lexi_lambda @kemitchell The Prosperity License led here, a few years back, using @creativecommons-style "noncommercial" language. Since the, @polyformproject published an evolved approach. Prosperity 3.0.0 builds on Polyform Noncommercial, adding on a built-in free trial for commercial use.

@zkat__ The licenses aren't going anywhere!

@janvlnas @sebmck I'd quibble: "If you are willing to abandon the notion that OSI ever stood for what you care about..."

@owocki @bmann @decentralion @abbey_titcomb @erlend_sh "Public Good" isn't a helpful label. The recs from Elinor Ostrom, for example, include erecting clear boundaries. The research on finance, like Lindahl taxes, hinge on charge by use or benefit. The payments are mandatory. It's just they're handled by gov't rather than privately.

@danielcrenna I can't recall a single convo with a dev actually running some potentially fair model for a project who said they passed on L0 or Parity because OSI didn't approve. Several have told me they don't care about OSI approval, and wondered why I wasted time trying to get it.

@danielcrenna @progrium Make sure you own the rights to your own work. Then pick a noncommercial or share-alike license.

There's no such thing as controlling 100% of the value of anything, especially if you publish it. But there's no slipper slope to MIT/Apache. Plenty of other options.

@progrium @danielcrenna @jbeda As someone who helps devs sell "enterprise" a lot, I generally agree. There's progress dragging the enterprise into the 21st century. But only after a strong initial spark.

There's also a big, usable difference between selling the enterprise and selling people who work there.

@danielcrenna @progrium @jbeda That said, there are plenty of success stories on the model L0 wants to make more accessible. This month, it just so happens I've been seeing new examples in IDEs and editors.

[License Zero @LicenseZero]

@danielcrenna @progrium @jbeda In all fairness, the misalignment isn't hard to see. It's hard to miss.

It's true L0 hasn't had a "killer app". Which is why we've undertaken a massive technical simplification of late, and reoriented more effort toward peer support, promotion, and building a critical mass.
