@feld LOL I was driving behind my wife and her incoming call connected to the wrong car.

@feld @stefano @rl_dane Maybe, but companies always like certainty and to control their destiny.
Almost as if they saw #slopageddon coming.
Morning merch beta test.
I’ve been trying to post this all afternoon and have had to keep shrinking the image size, and THEN learned that there was a mass shooting in Seattle not far from where this was taken in Bellevue.
What might a sketchy pair with backpacks be doing with this contraption be doing in a crowded playground, giving, “snarfing SIM card” vibes until they signaled, “done, let’s move on” before I could ask them about it?
They didn’t leave the playground with kids, as did 99% or the other people there.
Theories? Hopefully it’s nothing and has nothing to do with the shooting a few hours later.
Thx.
(Pasting separately as it’s STILL having issues)
@feld @tinker @neptune22222 @stefano @rl_dane If GPL’d upstream, how do they offer this?
@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 ?

Second Cup and Royal Oak pilgrimage before @bsdcan
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? ❤️
