I may live to regret this but... If you have a legal/licensing issue with a FOSS project and need help, you can ask me nicely and I'll try to help. I am not a lawyer, nor am I pretending to be one, but I'm pretty good at providing clarity and getting things fixed.

@richggall Thanks for reaching out, but unfortunately I can't comment on the record.

@monktoberfest That face, OMG.

[Tom 'spot' Callaway @spotfoss]

@rawsharktext But I thought all you needed was data information that described it...

[Tom 'spot' Callaway @spotfoss]

@rawsharktext Ok, tech guy gets Vista.

@dtaivpp @shanecurcuru Also, when it's code, including license attribution in the headers is a best practice because code files get copied into other projects.

[Tom 'spot' Callaway @spotfoss]

@dtaivpp @shanecurcuru It's really so that when you distribute the file to users, they have a way of knowing the license. Users being served the file via http aren't going to see a license file in the same directory.

[Tom 'spot' Callaway @spotfoss]

@dtaivpp I still think it's important to clearly indicate license on distributed content. Maybe there's a smarter way to avoid duplication.

@juliaferraioli Are you sure about that?

[Tom 'spot' Callaway @spotfoss]

@amcasari @juliaferraioli @AWSOpen I don't know what more we can do to draw you out!

Okay, fine, we'll make our next booth just a roller derby.

I'm really excited to announce that our Redis fork both has a new name (Valkey) and was accepted into the Linux foundation, https://t.co/aQ47erhE17. This has been such an amazing effort by my fellow co-creators of the project and the linux foundation.

@sudotechnical @fossback I'm not sure Hellevator is the right analogy here, but ... Yeah. 😈

[Tom 'spot' Callaway @spotfoss]

@juliaferraioli DO IT

[Tom 'spot' Callaway @spotfoss]

@LoriLorusso @aevavoom I need to know how it is.

[Tom 'spot' Callaway @spotfoss]

@LoriLorusso "this water smells like Grandma!"

[Tom 'spot' Callaway @spotfoss]

@LoriLorusso Hooray! I'm glad this story has a happy ending.

@LoriLorusso The Garmin app might keep a record of the last location too?

[Tom 'spot' Callaway @spotfoss]

@LoriLorusso Will it connect to your phone if you get close enough? https://t.co/QgB6KQoRTq
