- Comment on OnlyOffice invokes AGPLv3, says Nextcloud must restore removed logos in Euro-Office fork 1 week ago:
Then you call FSF as an expert witness and watch them tear them apart
- Comment on OnlyOffice invokes AGPLv3, says Nextcloud must restore removed logos in Euro-Office fork 1 week ago:
The license explicitly allows you to change how it is displayed as long as the new attribution sufficiently identifies the prior author(s) and remain discoverable
- Comment on OnlyOffice invokes AGPLv3, says Nextcloud must restore removed logos in Euro-Office fork 1 week ago:
FSF has already called out OnlyOffice (just without naming them) and says GPL doesn’t allow it.
Additionally you’re not allowed to claim you’re using GPL if you add impermissible additions to the license
- Comment on OnlyOffice invokes AGPLv3, says Nextcloud must restore removed logos in Euro-Office fork 1 week ago:
Fun fact - FSF doesn’t let you claim it’s a GPL variant if you have added claims to it. If you say it’s GPL then others gets to assume it’s GPL proper
www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#ModifyGPL
You can legally use the GPL terms (possibly modified) in another license provided that you call your license by another name and do not include the GPL preamble, and provided you modify the instructions-for-use at the end enough to make it clearly different in wording and not mention GNU (though the actual procedure you describe may be similar).
If you want to use our preamble in a modified license, please write to licensing@gnu.org for permission. For this purpose we would want to check the actual license requirements to see if we approve of them.
Although we will not raise legal objections to your making a modified license in this way, we hope you will think twice and not do it. Such a modified license is almost certainly incompatible with the GNU GPL, and that incompatibility blocks useful combinations of modules. The mere proliferation of different free software licenses is a burden in and of itself.

AGPLv3 only requires preservation of attribution but not full branding
- Comment on Impossible to walk slowly in Uncharted 4 using steamdeck controls. 2 months ago:
Don’t just tweak deadzones, you also want to tweak scaling on joysticks (how large numbers a given angle corresponds to)
- Comment on Battle.net detected that I'm on a Steam Deck 5 months ago:
Probably the combination of having a controller and touchscreen but NOT having a keyboard. Or recognizing the CPU series (SoC type). Or both.
- Comment on Japanese company makes $16 USB-C cable that rotates 360 degrees 1 year ago:
Not easy to put 24 pins in a rotating connector. USB 2 over USB C only needs 5
- Comment on Decksight, an OLED screen replacement for LCD decks, is now in crowdfunding 1 year ago:
Upscaling is available, and especially if the higher resolution is a clean 2x then doing it with minimal artifacts it’s quite easy
- Comment on According to Dexerto Ayaneo next handheld is going to use SteamOS 2 years ago:
They definitely should be cooperating just for the sake of ensuring updates to drivers, etc, are pushed upstream and maintained properly. It makes OS updates much easier for them when they don’t need to recompile and tweak stuff every single time they pull Valve’s most recent kernel updates and whatnot
- Comment on My PDF reader REALLY HAD to add a permanent "AI assistant" button that floats on every single file i open 2 years ago:
This doesn’t cover digital signatures (cryptographic signatures with RSA/ECDSA)
- Comment on PlayStation Portal review: impressive hardware but is Remote Play itself good enough? 2 years ago:
For twice the price you get a base model steam deck
- Comment on Valve: don’t expect a faster Steam Deck ‘in the next couple of years’ 2 years ago:
With the timeframe this is likely to happen over, it might be RISC-V instead of ARM since that’s an open source hardware platform and ARM seems to be joining enshittification trends (starting with worse licensing terms)
- Comment on Valve: don’t expect a faster Steam Deck ‘in the next couple of years’ 2 years ago:
Same. And larger battery. And larger resolution screen, even if it’s not driven at full resolution most of the time. I’d like to have the option especially for media and text.
- Comment on Valve: don’t expect a faster Steam Deck ‘in the next couple of years’ 2 years ago:
The console approach of 3-4 year refreshes
