  • I like this license. I think some people in this comment section do not understand the purpose. An (open source) license is a tool that is used most effectively in determining what kind of entity uses your software. Use an mit or bsd license and everyone will use your software. Use a gpl license and large corporations might use it sometimes, but wont if there are alternatives and most likely wont incorporate it into any of their products.

    This license might not be fully enforcable, but it is 100% poison to companies. Using this license(especially with the copyleft module) will almost certainly guarantee that only small projects will ever use it. Sure, it will kneecap your growth and your code will never see any real usage, but for some projects that might just be the best option.


  • Only tangentially related rant. Sorry.

    I do like the idea of getting an x gender marker on my official id, as that also kinda feels like the “none of your fucking business” marker. It moves you closer to gender being just a social factor. The non-specificity working in its favour there. I won’t change it because there is no option to do it selectively, and having a passport with an x is really inconvenient.

    I feel like gender and even sex at this point is almost fully obsolete. Really the only reason to keep using them as constructs is because they are being used as constructs, and that needs to be resolved first. And yeah, there’s a lot of other social classes and constructs that need to be dealt with. There needs to be an overarching change, not just “let’s not use gender anymore but essentially keep everything the same”

    Sorry for rambling
