    @[email protected], @[email protected], have you thought about re-licensing Lemmy using one of these licenses? Are you able to re-license contributor code (like do you have a clause in the TOS for that)?

      I’m not a huge fan of using alternate, less used licenses like this. The GPL / AGPL is very well thought out for software, has gone through rounds of revisions based on actual legal case history. Its also the strongest copyleft license we have, forcing all forks to share their code.

      One would need to have a CLA-requirement to contributions that allows such relicensing. (Or that the original license allows relicensing)

        That’s what I meant. I was asking if Lemmy had that.

          Yeah, just wanted to clarify it was different from the lemmy.ml ToS.

            Yeah, my mistake, should have been more precise.

What is libre culture?

Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.

Some beliefs include but aren’t limited to:

  • That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
  • That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
  • That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
  • That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
  • That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Rules

I’ve looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I’ve distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.

  • Please show common courtesy: Let’s make this community one that people want to be a part of.

  • Please keep posts generally on topic

  • No NSFW content

  • When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: “Project name and summary (GPL-3.0)”

Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it’s perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.
