Folks: Don’t be silly, you can’t put restrictions on licenses like that. It’s unworkable.
Apple: You can only run this operating system on hardware I sell.
Folks: Sounds good to us, sir. Whatever you say, boss!
If our only answer to unethical licenses is indifferent ones—as opposed to ethical ones—I don’t see how we win this. I feel the offhand dismissal of ethical licenses in technology has been and is a mistake.

Good options include of course #FDroid or, should your app not fully comply there, the #IzzySoftRepo – but the least you can do is tagging your releases and attach a signed release APK 😉
Oh, and of course make sure to declare a #foss license for it 😄

Knowing that this little piece of #foss code is used and appreciated makes a huge difference for me and motivates me even in other endeavors. And kind words like that are uplifting when life is tough for entirely unrelated reasons.
This inspires me to follow suit and contact project authors and sources of inspiration more often.

#FOSS licenses are mentioned, like #AGPL. But how much protection does that offer, really? When a corporation might throw a hundred person product development team and a couple million bucks to just recreating someone's one-person project's innovations?

This week's video is the 2022 review where I dig into some of the numbers for how much I earned doing #freesoftware / #opensource as an indepedant user-focused #developer. This is both transparency for the people that #fund me, and a way to see what it's possible to do even without any large business backing in the #foss world.

The rise of Mastodon drove this home for me in 2022. But I want to support also lesser known or small projects, gems that help and inspire me.
The contributions I can afford won't move the needle of project sustainability. But they'll give the maintainers hope they can get something tangible in return, such as enough to buy one or two books or pizza every now and then.
