Stallman has discussed this years ago: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/programs-must-not-limit-freed... The most pertinent part is: > A condition against torture would not work, because enforcement of any free software license is done through the state. A state that wants to carry out torture will ignore the license. When victims of US torture try suing the US government, courts dismiss the cases on the grounds that t…
As much as I hate what Russia is doing, I’d hate even more for software to come under political purviews. If an author of a library chooses to apply political condition(however justified they may be), then the software is simply not free by definition. I’m neither Russian nor Ukrainian. I cannot turn a blind eye simply because it doesn’t apply to me. What if another library that I use apply a license that says “those…
Yes, but has not that ship sailed already?
I go to great efforts to keep my "feed" purely technically focused, but in the past ~2 years this has become basically impossible.
I hate this presidence things like these set. I would hate code being split into left/right, and that's kinda the presidence set here As much as I think the war is wrong, having it seep into other things which are "non-political", is incredibly annoying.
Furthermore, if you’re going to make grandiose statements about what may or may not become precedent, it would behoove you to learn the word you’re trying to use first.
Hi. I am Anton Babenko, maintainer (ukrainian by heart) here. I have updated the wording in README to state the facts about Russia (facts with links to wikipedia) - https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks#a... It was never my intention to make changes in a license in any way. It would be just wrong to drop 5+ years of my life working on all terraform-aws-modules and betray everyone who have been pa…
Ugh. Lookit: it sucks to be forced to say anything at all , whether you agree with it or not. One thing I can say for certain is that my employer (and probably yours ) is only into virtue signalling when it's 100% safe, everyone else is doing it and it has zero negative repercussions. I don't get to decide what my employer's stance is on licenses. I guarantee you that many people will end up moving away from these mo…

Nothing is non-political. You do not exist in a vacuum.
I just wanna code without thinking about the stuff happening in the world. Political stuff has its spaces, why does it have to infest everything else
Don't want that? Write your own stuff from scratch and don't think about what's happening in the world.
You're currently demanding the world change to play to your whims. That's not how this works.

Anton’s project, Anton’s rules. Simple. You don’t get to choose what license gets applied to his thousands of hours of work just because you want to live in a vacuum, when the reality has his own family under siege by a foreign army. Furthermore, if you’re going to make grandiose statements about what may or may not become precedent, it would behoove you to learn the word you’re trying to use first.
Furthermore, its an internet comment, i'm not gonna double check my spelling

No one is stopping you. If you're engaging with others, and you're using their shit, then you're participating in a thing that's much larger than yourself. Don't want that? Write your own stuff from scratch and don't think about what's happening in the world. You're currently demanding the world change to play to your whims. That's not how this works.

I have updated the wording in README - https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-vpc#a... . The project was and will be under the same Apache 2 license.
By definition, it's not under the Apache 2 license if you add extra terms, even if those terms only apply to some people.
edited: I see the addition now.
How is adding "Additional terms of use" not a license change? That's not just a "statement of support".
