  A lot of larger foss projects do open up a foundation or another legal entity. Mostly due to regulations or dealing with donations. But it’s hard to call them enterprises

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open Source Developers Are Exhausted, Unpaid, and Ready to Walk Away⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Open source should be funded by the tax-payers, or all code should be forcibly open-source (something like AGPL)

  Any other models feels like they would create perverse incentives

  Also recurring donations feels like a better way than one-time tips

  Considering that Quest is sold at a loss and tries to make money forcing you to buy games, I don’t think it’s likely

  Is there a limit to the size of your primary residence?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it’s by country basis. A lot of places have negative population growth yet the prices skyrocket. It does make me think what is the actual reason in those places

  Well I guess if he trusts them, he will welcome in open arms once the sanctions are lifted. Or if they get a non russian state domain to operate from.

  Have you ever wondered if a russian can get a non .ru domain, and still collaborate? .ru and .su tlds are directly controlled by the Russian state

  Open source IP laws operate under the jurisdiction of the citizen’s country. What kind of principles do you think open source represents? Because if it’s about free movement of information and global collaboration, I’m pretty sure that pirates are the group that better represents those values

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised how many people treat GPL to ignore borders. The IP law still operates only by the rules your country decides.

  I can understand the desire for information to be free, but unless Open source movement becomes it’s own country the discussion should end there.
