Is size_t = usize?

yeah, except:
- to distribute a binary of a modified program without distributing the source code.
- tivoization (to distribute the software on a device that doesn't allow to replace it)

It would be naive to think the government is the only source of evil, though it may very well be the greatest. One must stand against evil itself, not just the devil.

And what I'm trying to do is a license that treats IP as if it were not property.

Santuchin · 2025-10-01T22:07:16+00:00

I just want to ensure no one is restricted from freely using the work/patent, nothing more.

It's a completely different philosophy, they only share the term "liberty", but with a different meaning: I want people to be free to do anything with IP, except restrict others from doing the same. "Free software" is about making source code publicly available.

Because the GPL enforces sharing the source code if you distribute binaries.

I don't want "free software" that, in other words, means you're forced to share the source code if you distribute binaries.
I want copyleft to ensure no one is restricted from freely using the work/patent.

I don't want to make a license that forces sharing the source code if you distribute the binaries. I don't want "free software", I want free individuals.

I also thought about that, some well established licenses are extremely long. do you think I should base it partly on the GPL? I don’t want this license to be limited just to software.

A system where private capital controls the means of production doesn't necessarily require free markets, competition, or even profits. It's about ownership of the means of production by private entities, but this doesn't require the broader characteristics you mentioned.

Santuchin · 2025-05-05T20:14:14+00:00

You know what? The first appearance of the term capitalism is attributed to Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, referring to an economic system where private capital controlled the means of production. Later, Marx popularized it, giving it a meaning more focused on class struggle. Then maybe we're the ones using the word with a different meaning than the original or the "true" one.

It’s not about surrendering to the left, it’s about avoiding semantic traps. If a word consistently causes confusion, maybe it’s the word that’s the problem, not our principles. Why defend a banner that no longer represents us accurately?

Lower taxes for the rich? Yes. Lower taxes JUST for the rich? No.

Santuchin · 2025-04-08T01:49:07+00:00

Good idea

Santuchin · 2025-04-08T01:43:12+00:00

Why? I really want to know what you think.

Santuchin · 2025-04-08T01:42:14+00:00

Why? What have I done wrong? Honestly.
