preaching to the choir. useful for newbies though

yeah mit requires attribution, fair.

the entire reason the osi got started was because they (mainly esr) felt the gpl was too restrictive.

you can if it’s mit, cc0, or unlicense.

public domain generally means you can’t relicense or copyright works using it. the osi doesn’t like that. the gpl is also not open source for the same reason.

kolibrios has blobs in it :(

templeos is public domain, which is incompatible with open source

a pizza party is hella cheaper than a raise, but it’s paradoxically also much worse for morale to cancel a pizza party than to not give a raise.

the committee is selected by parliament so it’s not like they have nothing to do with it.

kiruna claimed to be the largest city in the world up until 2009 due to the city limits being colocated with the municipality limits as a result of a typo in the paper work. it has a population of 22k and an area of almost 21k km² (~8k sq mi).
