I’m not an open source guy - redistribution restrictions (as well as restrictions for corporate and commercial use) are non negotiable for me. You’re welcome to learn from the source code, and anyone is free to fork and make whatever changes they want for personal use.

The license history for this project goes MIT > PolyForm Strict > Forked PolyForm Strict to explicitly allow changes for personal use (named as the “Komorebi” license as changing the text of PolyForm licenses requires removal of the PolyForm trademark).

If anyone is interested in the story behind the initial MIT > PolyForm Strict switch, the tl;dr is that I decided to explicitly restrict redistribution after someone did a rename of the project and started selling it on the Windows Store. A lot has happened since then that has changed my views on open source in general.

non-standard

OSI licenses are not “standard” by any stretch of the imagination, and I personally don’t want to have anything to do with licenses which would permit the use of my software in the mass murder of children.

Yeah this is usually the way to go, I think I just got unlucky that this particular service on nixos-23.11 doesn’t have a package override option (but it will have in nixos-24.x releases!)

It’s not exactly a traditional RSS feed, but I run a feed of my highlights on all things related to software development, and I’m an experienced DevOps engineer so a lot of my highlights are coloured by that experience.

If you come across a highlight that is interesting you can click to go and read the whole source article or comment. You can check out a HTML version before you decide if you wanna subscribe to the RSS feed.
