What is or is not a moral issue is the last thing on which I'd be looking for advice from that person. #FOSS #FreeSoftware #OpenSource

A screenshot of the summary of an article. It reads: The FOSS Force Interview With Richard Stallman AUG 30, 2026 AT 08:40 In a wide-ranging interview, the founder of the Free Software Movement discusses GNU, Linux, the open-source split, large language models, SaaSS, digital surveillance, and why software freedom remains a moral issue.

question for the fediverse:

in your ideal socio-economic system, how would the question of software developer responsibility be handled?

like, let's say i write some small open-source program or library and publish it online. for quite a while, i am the only user, and i build it purely according to my own needs. eventually, it gets discovered by other people, who add it as their dependency. what happens after that?

dropQbsd has been moved from GitHub – where a copy will remain – to Sourcehut, its natural home.

I’d like to thank Drew DeVault for welcoming my project onto his platform.

I wrote on why we should be skeptical that "how can we scale-up X?" (be that our open knowledge #commons or "how can we get a European Google", …) is a reasonable framing.

As biologist JBS Haldane (and many planners inspired by him) point out, 'being the right size' does not just apply to animals, but also human organizations. You can't just 'scale' it without dramatically altering its shape and dynamics.

I don't agree with all of their licensing, but I absolutely salute the attitude behind the Acadia licensing approach:

I sit on the #OpenRobotics Zulip (chat) and see all of the things that our Infra team handles in a week (esp. w/new floods of bot traffic) and am just 😍.

All our contributors are great, but Infra is the lifeguard who keeps us all afloat. I have so much respect for their work.

(#sysadmin: join the team! no robotics knowledge necessary! use your skills to contribute to #OpenSource!)

fellow #OpenSource library maintainers: Github is a great resource for finding usages of your API in public code, to see how (and if) people are using it. but because people don't know how to manage dependencies, you'll find a million clumsily vendored copies of your example code calling it instead of actual applications. do you have any tips for using Github search in a way which gives you better signal and excludes all that noise?

@gvwilson's blog led me to his material for a workshop called "Managing Research Software Projects". I'm halfway through and between my experience as a researcher, #opensource contributor, #RSE, and manager, an awful lot is resonating. There are lessons I already plan to try in several parts of my own roles.
