I'm a little concerned Microsoft will make a linux distro and introduce proprietary components into it that will drive users of other distros to it because "why use any other distro when the M$ distro can run my games/microsoft office/whatever?". Because that's how they'll kill linux: a bunch of proprietary kernel modules with which only Windows software can run.
We should have multiple linux mega-corps before that happens, otherwise we're fucked.
CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
They’d probably just buy canonical in this scenario.
Canonical would have to accept. Given their move towards proprietary code, that wouldn't surprise me in the least, honestly.
CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
Is the public license meant to be the copyright licensing for your comments? Attribute - Non-commercial - Share Alike
Is it meant for crawlers, AI database creators and the like?
Are your comments automatically appended with the link? Or are you mainly copy-pasting it?
And how does it mesh with the TOS of the lemmy instance you're on?
I remember that Reddit has royalty free rights over all comments n posts made on the site, which allow them to do anything they want.
Yes
Precisely those
A keyboard shortcut
I don't know. That's for the crawlers, AI database creators, etc. to figure out. If they're non-commercial, then there shouldn't be a problem either way. For commercial uses, I hope it makes it impossible, but I'm not a lawyer, so I'll just tack on the license and hope it might have an effect 🤷 Takes but a keyboard shortcut (an sometimes time to explain it).
Anti Commercial AI thingy
CC BY-NC-SA 4.0That's cool.
