@feld @tinker @neptune22222 @stefano @rl_dane If GPL’d upstream, how do they offer this?

I aim to keep this to technical topics relating to bhyve and OpenZFS, and the occasional humor and Latvia.

@feld @tinker @neptune22222 @stefano @rl_dane I recall them welcoming the selling of exceptions/indulgences too?
I am not equipped to perform the mental acrobatics.
@feld @tinker @neptune22222 @stefano @rl_dane On this topic: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/selling-exceptions
“Selling exceptions means that the copyright holder of the code releases it to the public under a free software license, then lets customers pay for permission to use the same code under different terms, for instance allowing its inclusion in proprietary applications.”
It’s good to see that the FSF does not, according to this, sell exceptions. Doing so would truly rip my brain in half.
Does any one have sample/example exception sale agreements?
@neptune22222 @rl_dane @tinker @stefano There are indeed many more copyleft licenses than the GPL.
Facts on compliance with them would be very helpful.
Meaningful advocacy for copyleft begins with universal compliance with copyleft.
With several people putting Linux on Arista near-white-box switches, can we please have BSD-based Barista @stefano ?
Wait what @feld ?

What are the odds that you have three matching ThinkPad X270 laptops that are end-of-life for you and you happen to be headed to @bsdcan?
@dlg So wait! PoE in and USB-C out? I have see the opposite but my searches for that have failed. Link? ❤️
@bms48 Not to mention openrsync.
Might you know what #FreeBSD kernel module, if one exists, will allow a USB connection to the mini USB console port on a Cisco 2960-X switch? None of the answers I found worked and I went and far as trying, ‘kldload /boot/kernel/u*’ without luck after trying several suggested ones.
And yes, it works perfectly on a Windows system, so I have every reason to believe that the port is functional.
Um whoops.
Here’s to my 17,014th toot anniversary.

@2something LOL. Try to get through Death of Stalin, Mate. Cheerio.
@fbfortune With shorthand ‘chflags -R 0’ which really should be more prominent.
