Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Euro-Office: European industry initiative launches office suiteEnglish
1·6 days agoThey took AGPL3 and added a clause to it under a section where you’re allowed to add clauses.
However in AGPL3 it says you’re not allowed to add restrictions.
So in their own liscence it says they are not allowed to add restrictions beyond a certain scope.
And then they break that rule.
So I’d say their extra clause, according to they liscence they released, is invalid

32·8 days agoExactly, they are focusing on what they do well, and letting others do their part elsewhere.
Are we to criticize Euro-Office when they don’t drive European made cars too?

2·8 days agoI only use nextcloud as a Drive, and I use deck.
So it’s fairly easy to replace with alternatives, or build your own.
I considered not running it and looking for alternatives, but it’s quite influential and big in the FOSS world, so I like using it and seeing how it progresses and how it is to use

6·8 days agoI don’t think OnlyOffice will win in court.
AGPL3 prevents you from adding restrictions.
In clause 7 3(b) they add a clause that you must keep their Logo etc. In the UI
The almost immediately in a follow up clause restrict anyone from using their Logo etc.
With those clauses, you can’t fork the repo. Which adds a restriction, which is against AGPL3

7·8 days agoSounds like a decentralized encrypted messaging platform is needed.
And when you need the highest trust, you just need to make sure you and the people you are talking to are all on trusted servers.
so governments would use their own gov.eu server or something, and only communicate sensitive info to others on that network so the info never leaves that server

I read that the new Dell XPS has a longer battery life than its mac book counter parts

But it’s mostly speculation form my side.







As a South African this confused the shit out of me at first.
I thought it was the hateful political party the Economic Freedom Fighters, who chant things like “Kill the Boer” at their rallies
