Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Lol I already stated how you absolutely can write MIT code in a GPL project (this also makes your point about legal precedent moot, since the license of the GPL code technically does not dictate the license of other code, just the software using the GPL code). Did you miss that or choose to ignore it? I also never said there's anything wrong with permissively-licensed code.

    The rest is clearly ad hominem. If I were a fan of authoritarianism, I'd write proprietary software.

    What you stated was a lie. I don't know what to tell you 🀷🏻

    You're telling me you can't license a file under MIT/BSD in a GPL project? And that I'm a liar for saying you can?

    Explain this, then: https://github.com/KDE/krita/blob/d83168fc6f0b4f671e236b34a7ada66dd29aeb5e/3rdparty_vendor/raqm/src/raqm-0.10.1/src/raqm.c

    That's an MIT licensed file in a GPL project, bearing it's original MIT license. If you wanted to use that file in your project you would be abiding by the terms of the MIT license, not the GPL (unless you wanted to).

    So, who's the liar?
