#agplv3

(1/2) #OSI leadership (both past & present) seem to take every opportunity to pretend AGPLv3§7¶4 doesn't exist. This time, it's done w/ sneaky & subtle politics. Pay particular attention to OSI's former Executive Director & a current Board seat occupant's posts upthread to mine: https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-discuss_lists.opensource.org/2026-August/022583.html For the record again: a license of “AGPLv3 plus further-restriction” is both an #OpenSource & #FreeSoftware license *b/c* AGPLv3§7¶4 allows reset to plain #AGPLv3 downstream! #copyleft #AGPL

FSF says OnlyOffice cannot use AGPLv3 to add extra fork restrictions, including mandatory branding retention in Euro-Office dispute. ⚖️ It argues AGPL guarantees downstream freedom, so forked versions may remove logos or attribution constraints beyond license terms. 🔓 @fsfe@mastodon.social@fsf@hostux.social@ONLYOFFICE@fosstodon.org 🔗 https://linuxiac.com/fsf-says-onlyoffice-cannot-use-agpl-to-restrict-forks/ #TechNews #FSF #FSFE #OnlyOffice #AGPLv3 #OpenSource #FOSS #Licensing #EU #Europe #EuroOffice #SoftwareFreedom #Forks #Copyleft #Legal #Linux #Transparency #DigitalRights

@bortzmeyer@mastodon.gougere.fr overheard at #FOSDEM

“There is a guy who does a lot of work to help the fediverse and to push people toward it. His name is Donald Trump.”

This statement contains multitudes b/c #TruthSocial is a fork of #Mastodon. Initially, $DJT violated the #AGPLv3, but AFAIK they now comply with the license. I examined the fork & they primary code they added was an advertising platform. Obviously it doesn't have federation turned on.
