"Those people in the rights community..." (who like anonymity)

@bob That's crazy, as if caring about rights is limited to some small community.

@hntooter "Finland is the only EU country where homelessness is falling. Its secret? Giving people homes"

Wow! I am absolutely stunned to learn their secret!

@ansugeisler@scholar.social @jhol @brainblasted @dirb @starwall @bob What do you mean by "harmful"? I can easily envisage a hypothetical situation where censoring harmful speech is harmful to the person being censored. The two are not mutually exclusive but you're treating them as though they are.

The main problem with choosing a free software license is that they're a giant pile of legalese rather than a succient explanation of their goals.

MIT, BSD: Do whatever you want with this software, but it's not our responsibility (baseline)

Apache: Same but with extra protections for your trademarks/brand

GPL: Requires derivative software and software to also use the GPL license

LGPL: Requires derivatives to also use the LGPL license, but doesn't consider linking to a library to be a derivative

AGPL: Requires derivatives to also use the AGPL license, but considers communication over the network to be derivative

@bob @jhol Yes, that's what I recall too but the internal battles were because Nick Griffen was destroyed on Question Time and the whole country was like "holy crap, those BNP people are really fucked up!" :-)

@bob @jhol I seem to recall the BNP did fall apart somewhat after Nick Griffen's appearance on Question Time.

...

Always turn up when you say you will"

Yes thanks for that, I'm sure this communiqué will be very successful in changing people's behaviour.
