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

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.

Over on birdsite, I have a bunch of accounts for various bots and parts of my company - one for the company itself; a couple of products have their own accounts; and a couple of toy bots. I'm trying to work out how to migrate them over to the fediverse, to continue my move to favour the open web. Feels like a chance to help set tone for how to do that. Are there any other examples/conventions? I'm thinking I should host a server on the company domain, to provide an easy segregation. Thoughts?
