Do you have an example? I am pretty sure that a FOSS license which requires companies to pay is impossible.

Open Source guarantees that anyone can give the software to a company for free:

“The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.”

And it guarantees that the company can then use it freely:

“The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business […]”

Quotes from the Open Source Definition.

None. Those things are incompatible with each other.

I’ve never used InqScribe nor any other subtitle tool, but alternativeto.net has a list of alternatives like Kainote or SubtitleEdit: https://alternativeto.net/software/kainote/?license=opensource There’s even a short Wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_subtitle_editors

Never read something more wrong about the subject. I sounds like you don’t actually know what Free Software refers to, and that it has nothing to do with the price.

Short and not completely true answer: Free Software and Open Source are the same thing, just with different reasoning behind them. Hence “FOSS” and “FLOSS” are also used, which combine both terms.

How would encryption even make sense here? Up to the server, everything is protected via TLS. And if you don’t trust the server provider, you can encrypt all you want, but they can just read out the RAM of the VPS or they could have backdoored the bare metal hardware to do the same. As long as the server has to somehow work with the data in question, the decryption keys have to be somewhere in there. And what do you mean by code integration? We’re talking FOSS here, how could someone prevent me from removing any “is everything encrypted?” checks in Mastodon? Also, what does the encryption on other federated instances even matter? Without having any in depth knowledge about Mastodon, your user agent will hardly be sent to other instances, and when and what you posted is meant to be visible.

Great idea, that’s what I would probably do as well if I wanted to make a commercial game.

Just remember, if you want something to be “Open Source” or “Free Software”, the license can’t prohibit commercial use [0][1]. If you really want others to be able to continue maintaining the project after you have stopped, they need to have permission to recoup their costs for servers, physical copies and to get paid for their development time. (Open Source) development needs to be financially sustainable; and if that is forbidden for future developers, it’s not a community project anymore, i.e. not Open Source.

Also, if by “attribution, no commercial use” you mean some Creative Commons license, they explicitly discourage use of their licenses for software [3].

It can’t be included in the official F-Droid repos, as it is not Open Source.

It’s hardly better than any other proprietary software as the FUTO Temporary License does not allow users to make modifications and share them with non-programmers. They could include ads or spyware and no one would be allowed to strip that out and share the result with others.

They also clearly forbid redistribution “directed towards […] monetary compensation”. But F-Droid has to be compensated for their server costs as well, and they ask for donations as they should be. That’s why limiting commercial redistribution alone is a huge issue that would keep it from ever being called “Open Source” or “Free Software”.

I’ve used it quite extensivly, big fan. It asks for further details on objects that have already been mapped, which also reveals things that don’t exist anymore. It turns mapping into a really fun game with currently 163 different quests. The app also regularly asks you to verify opening hours or confirm the existence of certain objects. That being said, I almost always use it in conjunction with a real map editor, to add new stuff I find or to make more complex edits.

What’s missing from the existing ones?

There are other fast charging standards than Power Delivery. USB Battery Charging defines that when the data lines are shorted, a device can draw more current (up to 1.5A), but still at 5V. QuickCharge on the other hand uses the data lines to negotiate higher voltages, so an A-to-C cable can’t protect you from that.

For Power Delivery, higher voltages are negotiated using the CC (configuration channel) pins. If you use an A-to-C cable, the A side does not have the CC pins and therefore you can’t get more than 5V.

Have you checked what voltage arrives on the board if you use a regular USB-C charger? Maybe the headphones negotiate and need a higher voltage than 5V. Does it charge with only 5V supplied? (could be forced by using an A-to-C cable in case of Power Delivery)

That’s what I’ve been using for a few years now, with SimpleCalendar (soon Fossify) on my phone. Didn’t have any problems yet.

Das stimmt auch, freie Weichware darf natürlich kommerziell vertrieben werden. Aber die nullte Freiheit ist, dass eine solche Anwendung zu jedem Zweck eingesetzt werden darf. Es darf also kein Unterschied gemacht werden zwischen privatem und kommerziellem Einsatz, letzterer darf also nicht ausgeschlossen werden, das meinte ich.

Den Quellcode darf man übrigens genauso verkaufen wie die kompilierten Programme. Aber es gibt in der GPL ein paar Einschränkungen bezüglich des Preises den man verlangen darf, wenn man Kunden erst nur die Binärdatei ausgehändigt hat und die dann im Anschluss ihr Recht auf die Soße einfordern.

Der Krüppel kostet ganz bestimmt nichts für kommerziellen Gebrauch, das würde der Definition von Offener Soße/Freier Weichware widersprechen.
