  • Uh you can 100% Legally modify the AGPL. The issue is not on whether if you can or can not, rather companies will find every loophole possible in your bullshit to try to exploit it, which is why I am saying to be weary on making modifications.

    What exactly these limits are become a bit more difficult. The US govt has a 500 page book on all of the ins and outs of copyright regulation if you were really dedicated. here

    Copyright law is also a constantly changing field with court decisions changing the grounds quite often for example here.

    Software licenses are legal documents, and not something to be taken lightly. My point is that for modifications and for drafting your own licenses it is very important to consult people are qualified on such things because I have no fucking clue what exact bounds there are. I am not a lawyer.

    It is just a risky move imo.

    P.S. I found something about the use of these kinds of licenses, but little about their legal viability I think.


  • The AGPL is the best free software license we have access to currently that has been legaly tried and tested. You can not overly trust on copyright ones, even derivative ones of the AGPL because any modifications for it need to meet a long line of legal checkboxes in the west for them to mean fucking anything. If you can show me a free software license that is copyfarleft and has been backed up by a lawyer as being properly written then I will will consider supporting it. Writing licenses or modifying them is a very tricky game and its something not to go around fucking about with without some sort of legal counsel.

    If you have the money to draft some new fancy license with a lawyer? Go for it. No? Use the fucking AGPL.













  • Can a Communist, who is an internationalist, at the same time be a patriot? We hold that he not only can be but also must be. The specific content of patriotism is determined by historical conditions. There is the “patriotism” of the Japanese aggressors and of Hitler, and there is our patriotism. Communists must resolutely oppose the “patriotism” of the Japanese aggressors and of Hitler. The Communists of Japan and Germany are defeatists with regard to the wars being waged by their countries. To bring about the defeat of the Japanese aggressors and of Hitler by every possible means is in the interests of the Japanese and the German people, and the more complete the defeat the better… For the wars launched by the Japanese aggressors and Hitler are harming the people at home as well as the people of the world. China’s case, however, is different, because she is the victim of aggression. Chinese Communists must therefore combine patriotism with internationalism. We are at once internationalists and patriots, and our slogan is, “Fight to defend the motherland against the aggressors.” For us defeatism is a crime and to strive for victory in the War of Resistance is an inescapable duty. For only by fighting in defense of the motherland can we defeat the aggressors and achieve national liberation. And only by achieving national liberation will it be possible for the proletariat and other working people to achieve their own emancipation. The victory of China and the defeat of the invading imperialists will help the people of other countries. Thus in wars of national liberation patriotism is applied internationalism. -Mao Zedong

    I am a fairly active prolewiki editor and I think this like was not a good like in my opinion. I believe an admin has already made a statement regarding it. If you are a gringo, you can not be patriotic towards the United States government. Patriotic socialists, especially in this tweet disregard historical materialism, and say because patriotism is good in regards to national liberation (Which it is.), then it must be good in terms of imperialist countries. We did not encourage a hitlerite to be patriotic of Germany despite the atrocities it committed, they practiced revolutionary defeatism and we must do so as well. The question is a bit different for minorities (of all kinds) in the US, because they must practice national liberation against the oppressor, and so “patriotism”, in regards to pride of whatever for that history, for that identity, or for that culture is 100% good. We must pursue national liberation for minority groups in the United States.

    This is just fucking disgusting. But as others here have said and what likely is happening, is that it is directly funded by the NATO. There has been a much larger hand of the US government in regards to the combat of so-called “misinformation” as of recent, and it was an inevitable but very concerning development.
