[16:45:18] Licensing tech talk will be starting in 15 min - link to follow on youtube in the topic [16:56:49] We are starting in 5 min [17:00:37] just about to start [17:02:18] We are live [17:03:25] how do you ask questions on YouTube ;-) [17:03:30] here [17:03:35] ping me with them and I will ask [17:03:40] hi! [17:03:50] hi spagewmf :) [17:04:57] not FLOSS? [17:05:10] he said FLOSS [17:05:11] * bd808 wants Libre in there [17:07:06] he's right https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Mission_statement [17:07:46] See also https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Wikimedia_Foundation_Guiding_Principles#Freedom_and_open_source [17:08:08] are you guys seeing the slides? [17:08:13] yes [17:08:16] great [17:09:27] OSI lists at http://opensource.org/licenses [17:09:47] the audio has the usual Chambers/speakerphone hard echo, but Stephen is quite intelligible [17:10:13] can you hear people typing? [17:10:26] no, just Stephen [17:10:33] ok, great [17:16:31] Android Wikipedia Beta app's menu > More > About the Wikipedia app"lists the licenses of the libraries it uses, but where is its own license [17:18:11] spagewmf: we have it in the repo but you're right, i don't see it exposed in the ui. i'll file a phab and add you [17:19:31] start thinking of your questions :) [17:20:47] That was Luis and Roan talking [17:21:26] question: So WMF could use AGPL because we make the software available, but it would mean that other sites would have to make their "modified" MediaWiki S/W available too? [17:21:52] greg-g chatted to the live hangout the comment: "CC bY-SA 4.0 is one-way compat with GPL" [17:22:04] yeah, sorry [17:22:09] no worires :) [17:22:11] :) [17:22:20] spagewmf: will ask [17:22:40] should I join the live hangout? YouTube ofers "Be part of the conversation" [17:22:43] AGPL would kill reuse of MW in my personal opinion [17:24:03] sure S [17:24:06] let me send you the link [17:24:26] spagewmf: see pm [17:28:15] dynosaur: regarding CLAs, does WMF have a page somewhere listing CLAs that have already been reviewed and the outcome? [17:28:24] will ask [17:30:13] Any other questions? [17:30:50] sorry to say, I do [17:30:56] good :) [17:31:01] continue on [17:31:20] question-not-question: GPLv2 or v3, fight! [17:31:34] ha [17:31:43] I will let you unmute and say that [17:32:03] v3 for new things; don't touch v2+ for existing IMO [17:32:06] I do have one, actually, too [17:32:11] dynosaur: ^ [17:32:57] OK - you can ask live I will try to cue you :) [17:33:09] kk [17:38:13] haha, screenshots of software :) [17:39:59] Blueprint skin uses MIT license!? And extensions/examples and extensions/BoilerPlate don't have a COPYING (good for sample code, bad for encouraging FLOSS) [17:40:29] I was not aware of the legal incompatibility of Stack Overflow code snippets and GPL [17:41:04] spagewmf: prtksxna came up with that after talking to other devs on #wikimedia-dev [17:41:15] spagewmf: I actually questioned that [17:41:24] thanks everyone :) [17:41:29] thanks! [17:41:54] Volker_E: freedom-hating one-percent developers on #wikimedia-dev ? :-) [17:42:40] spagewmf: I wouldn't yet call them out without knowing their names and addresses :) [17:48:50] would be nice to have a MakeExtension script/vagrant role that copies BoilerPlate, s/BoilerPlate/Bd808LegoMaker/g, and adds a COPYING (default GPL v2) file? [17:49:02] :o [17:49:30] I've been thinking about making a yo generator thing, similar to the one that ori made for libraries [17:49:49] (https://github.com/wikimedia/generator-wikimedia-php-library) [17:51:14] legoktm for CTO
