I have a friend (not on the fedi, yet), a fellow FLOSS contributor. They recently noticed that some of their permissively licensed code is being rewritten and incorporated into other software, without attribution, without respecting the license. The code is often disguised to not resemble the original much, but they believe it is a derivative work nevertheless.
They don't mind their code being incorporated into other software, but this attempt at trying to hide the code's origin is starting to bother them a little. This has been ongoing for a long time now.
What avenues do they have to resolve this situation? Preferably peacefully. Any help - including boosts! - would be appreciated. My DMs are open.
went to get passport photos and the elderly Iranian man working there who was so deeply engrossed in watching the news when I came in that he didn't notice me saw my keffiyeh and we had a whole conversation about the state of the world. "your life and my life are worth pennies to the people in power, all they want are their billions. why should I care what god someone worships or what they wear or do with their body as long as they aren't trying to start a war? but the religious fundamentalism the West pushed on the Middle East in the 70s, it's coming here now too."
fediblock noauthority dot social: bigotry, holocaust denial
#fediblock noauthority dot social.
"freeze peach", all the vile bigotry you can imagine in their timeline, as well as, what else, holocaust denial! on the same thread as the other guy harassing the Auschwitz museum!
The western evangelical money going into homophobic laws all over Africa isn't discussed enough.
"Who organised this summit of hate? The World Congress of Families (WCF), an elite international network led by US & Russian ultra-conservatives and best known for publicly & militantly opposing LGBT rights and abortion – though its members are also against contraception, comprehensive sexuality education (CSE), divorce, single mothers and multi-generational households."
jailbreaking or rooting a phone used to be done for mostly fun things. Nowadays it is just done to undo unfun things. I miss making my apps fall around in the launcher and fun silly stuff like wobbly animations. Now it is just, "how do I use my bank app while I also block ads in other apps?"
fucking sad world nowadays.

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.

"Freedom" 0 is bullshit! Copyleft for subversion! Fuck RMS!
