singpolyma commented on Ideas for Intro to Functional Programming Class? at Reddit, saying
I have several times run a workshop at my company to run people through some basics: http://www.boltmade.com/presentations/intro-to-functional-programming

I have also (once) at the local hackerspace run an introduction to computer science, which contains quite a bit of functional. Curriculum: https://github.com/singpolyma/cs-top-and-bottom

singpolyma commented on [license question] How is ZFS linked into Ubuntu 16.04, and is it really a GPL violation? at Reddit, saying
ZFS is present in the Ubuntu release as a kernel module (zfs.ko) and as explained in the article you link, this is a GPL violation.

singpolyma commented on Harald Welte: Report form the VMware GPL court hearing at Reddit, saying
Actually, signing over rights would have prevented this case from going forward at all (since presumably Linux Foundation would have them and VMware is a member there)

singpolyma commented on What does the Debian/Mozilla agreement mean for the freedom of debian distributions? at Reddit, saying
You can change firefox and redistribute the source changes. If you make binaries with your changes, just don't enable the mozilla branding compile options

singpolyma commented on Is mentioning the name of a license good enough? at Reddit, saying
I think so. Sounds like permission in writing. #TINLA

singpolyma commented on open source v freemium? I really can't figure this out... at Reddit, saying
Those two certainly look open source to me. What is the issue exactly?

If you're more used to quickbooks-style, I suggest trying GNU Cash

Just mentioning a name is very dubious IMHO. #IANAL

No, the shim does not make the whole thing derivative of course. But it does make the shim derivative. And they are distributing the shim. That is the infringement

singpolyma commented on GPL Violations Related to Combining ZFS and Linux - Conservancy Blog at Reddit, saying
Linux kernel license contains a specific exception to the GPL for userspace programs making syscalls to avoid this issue

They could use it in OEL if the did the relicense. But for some reason they think pushing btrfs to reinvent something they already own is a better way…

singpolyma commented on GPL Violations Related to Combining ZFS and Linux - Conservancy Blog at Reddit, saying
SFC is already funding a module compliance case (the VMWare case). My guess would be they wait on the outcome of that while proceeding with "diplomatic means" here for now

singpolyma commented on GPL Violations Related to Combining ZFS and Linux - Conservancy Blog at Reddit, saying

ZFS exists independent of Linux and is not a derivative

But the code that makes it work with the Linux filesystem APIs is not independent

singpolyma commented on How can Linux become widespread if you literally have to know basic coding to use it? at Reddit, saying
Besides the wrongness you're driving for, there's also the fact that you never need to use CLI for anything, many of us just prefer to. Members of my family don't CLI their debian or ubuntu installs, they GUI everything

singpolyma commented on Opensourcing an Apsstore app at Reddit, saying
Permissive would be safest to allow use on Appstore, but see https://www.reddit.com/r/opensource/comments/4779o0/opensourcing_an_apsstore_app/d0as3v1 MPL might work

MPL might be appstore compatible, see: https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/1762/is-the-mozilla-public-license-compatible-with-apples-app-store

singpolyma commented on Opensourcing an Apsstore app at Reddit, saying

All I need is to prevent someone making commercial profit out of MY app!

If you want to inhibit big corporate exploitation, then copyleft is often enough. The situation is somewhat complicated because most copyleft licenses prevent an app from being put on the Apple appstore (because of Apple's terms). It would not prevent you from putting it on the appstore of course (unless you accept patches).

If you actually wish to prohibit commercial use of your app, you will find that such a prohibition is incompatible with the Open Source Definition: https://opensource.org/osd

singpolyma commented on Please prove me wrong, but I think I've got a use case that only proprietary code can fulfil. at Reddit, saying
I said this in my other comment, but to be very clear: the only good way to do this is with a third-party signing server, which could be libre or not (obviously we hope that it is). You want third party verification, so you need a third party.

singpolyma commented on Please prove me wrong, but I think I've got a use case that only proprietary code can fulfil. at Reddit, saying

it is impossible for us or our clients to modify the test results after the fact

Unless they are server-side storage only (in which case the software could be libre on a third party server to get the same effect) or it's digitally signed by a remote server (also very easy with libre software) this to totally false. Locally-produced, locally-stored digital data can always be modified.
