It’s still open source

I posted it to 8 communities because there are 8 communities I am aware of where this on-topic. Some people might be subscribed to only a subset of them. This is the natural consequence of the fediverse enabling us to have more than one community for discussing the same topic.

I suppose some instances cut others off as well so you have a fair point
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from vikingtons@lemmy.world
To my mind, the ideal would be that if you, as the person who wants to share some 'open-source' news, chose one community that you think is 'best' (based on what instance it's on, if the mods are real people and are active, participation levels, whatever you think really). And we, as subscribers, would do the same. This way, the 'good' communities would thrive, and the 'bad' ones would wither away. What happens at the minute, is that there's 8 communities for open source, and there'll always will be, because they aren't in competition with one another.
(this is mostly just a general point about cross-posting behaviour, it's not meant as a dig at you personally).

problem is I have no idea which of these communities is “best”, I do not pay enough attention to things going on behind the scenes to have any knowledge of that.

Its a bit basic but so far I’ve just gone with the largest population. Usually I’m just after the most activity and that generally scales with population. It keeps things relatively simple.

this’ll just mean whatever’s in .world or .ml will eat up all the other communities. Biggest doesn’t mean best.

There is some lemmy.world sure but also:
If a topic suits the philosophy of its lemmy instance its more likely to attract a healthy population. Then when I’m looking for a community on a topic it doesn’t really matter which instance that community is on.

Not really - it can’t be used with Atlassian’s products, violating point 6 of the OSI definition - No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor.

I really don’t understand the difference between free software and open source at tis point. It would make sense to me if this would make it nonfree, but I don’t understand why is it not open source anymore. Isn’t the open source definition a broader one than that of free software?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org
Open Source Software follows the Open Source Definition, while Free Software follows the Free Software Definition.
They have heavy overlap, one is not a subset of the other, and they are similarly restrictive, just shepherded by different groups. I’m sure there are licences that satisfy one but not the other, but they would have to be few and far between; just reading through each it’s not obvious how one could satisfy only one definition.

If I give you a free beer, you have one beer. If I give you the recipe, you can make your own beer. You do have to make your own open source beer or you can hire someone to do it for you or perhaps take you through the steps a few times until you’ve got it. With luck there will be a community of open source beer brewers with whom you can interact and improve those recipes.
Free software is free until it isn’t! The illicit drugs industry works in a similar way (the first hit is for free).

Never read something more wrong about the subject.

Yeah the free beer thing is what I use to explain what the “free” doesn’t mean. “Free as in freedom. Not free as in free beer.”

Short and not completely true answer: Free Software and Open Source are the same thing, just with different reasoning behind them. Hence “FOSS” and “FLOSS” are also used, which combine both terms.

@ReversalHatchery @velox_vulnus
It violates "freedom 0" of the Free Software Definition too, so no difference there. This limitation on use makes is non-open-source AND non-free-software. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html#fs-definition
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from chebra@mstdn.io
It’s clear that it’s not free software, because as the name suggests, that’s about freedoms.
What is not really clear is that it’s not open source. To me at least it means that the source is public, you can change it, use it, send in patches, etc, but possibly with some limitations.

I don’t see a CLA so this is somewhat surprising that all ~30 contributors would be okay moving away from open source.
Unless this was has a unilateral decision

Apache is a permissive license, plus:
draw.io is also closed to contributions, as it's not open source. We follow a development process compliant with our SOC 2 Type II process. We do not have a mechanism where we can accept contributions from non-staff members.
This was added wayyyy before. OP is making this much more of a deal than it actually is.

Appreciate it, i wasn’t familiar with the project and didn’t see that!
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from starshipwinepineapple@programming.dev
@Aatube I don't see how OP is making it a big deal. That post is merely stating facts, as confirmed by the company representative in the GitHub discussion. Yes, the project was never "open-source-like governed", but it was technically open-source software. With the additional restriction in the license it's not anymore. All pretty theorical, but nevertheless true.

Up until a year ago, the README explicitly said they didn’t claim to be an open source project: github.com/…/8906f90ac0cc50a0c6da77c28cf9b2b23392…

TL;DR: Competitors in integrating with Atlassian are not allowed to incorporate code after the change because they used it in free add-ons, which caused the official integration (a paid add-on that is the sole source of funding) to be labeled a scam by a review in late August.
Plus, the thing was never really open source anyway:
draw.io is also closed to contributions, as it's not open source. We follow a development process compliant with our SOC 2 Type II process. We do not have a mechanism where we can accept contributions from non-staff members.

Open source means that the source code is…open, that everyone can view and use it, it doesn’t mean that everyone can contribute to it.
Or am I wrong?

People usually use the open source definition from the Open Source Initiative. That definition does have extra requirements:
opensource.org/osd

@peregus yes, wrong. Being "open" doesn't mean just "readable". Imagine an open bird cage, not just an open book. It needs to be open to fly free.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from chebra@mstdn.io
The definition of the worlds open source seems to me that the source is readable by everyone.
If you mean something different like @stochastic_parrot@sh.itjust.works said, then that’s something else.

That is usually referred to as “source available” and doesnt fall into the category of open source.

Then nvidia produced Open Source code then I guess?
(There were Repos, but everything was Copyrighted. Noone was technically allowed to use it afaik, but it was still there about some AI stuff back then)
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from ReakDuck@lemmy.ml
@ReakDuck I'm sure nvidia would like that, this "open source" label is good for marketing. They just want to avoid being actually open. Have the cake and eat it, like many businesses do.

There is your answer. draw.io can be used by everyone and for almost every purpose, so the situations aren’t even remotely the same.

Just wondering, if a project switch to close source from open source, all the donation to the stage when it’s open source will be sent back to the donor or counted as shares?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Henry@lemmy.ca
They count as…gone! Gone to develop what’s been open source until it becomes closed source.
As I think it should be, because what you helped to develop with your donation is still there.

Whatever is still going on after the proprietary fork doesn’t count. It is irrelevant, just some other payware that will enshittify as it is resold. The last canon version is the unburden foss version. For practical purpose the development ended there and it’s fine. It’s great it made it that far before dying. At least tgat version won’t backslide in functionality or won’t leverage it’s adoption to extract rent.
