I don't have anything against Go, I like and use Pond for example, but I can't hack it, and I can hack Ruby.
"The goal of this project is to make the easiest, fastest, and most painless way to set up a self-hosted Git service. With Go, this can be done via an independent binary distribution across ALL platforms that Go supports, including Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows." So they chose Go to support proprietary software. I don't see that as a better option for software freedom that the Gitlab "open core" model. If Gitlab stands with the FSF, they have more chances than say, GNU Savannah, to be a proper replacement platform than Github. "What's wrong with MIT License?" is the question to tackle. When your whole stack is "MIT", it's a logical thing to do to keep building on the same license: that's what Gitlab does. Gogs.io licensed their software as "MIT" as well, although Go itself is licensed under the terms of "a BSD-style license". In both cases, the vocabulary does not support the FSF view. The Github-Reddit-Twitter-Google-Facebook-Apple-Amazon storm cloud is going to rain on us any day if there's no alternative. Why is it that free software developers do not support the FSF? == hk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJU9yauXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRFQ0IyNkIyRTNDNzEyMTc2OUEzNEM4ODU0 ODA2QzM2M0ZDMTg5ODNEAAoJEEgGw2P8GJg9uMQP+wbPCfEctPe6hOrIcyNtToID 8WylTjXRW/2tR8MK3vx9dWqc11Sw8OMex+zb2NMMqRTdeMN0yOYBh+nTeNsOnv6/ pA/t4sK+RNHQ813909yGreE9WCMlfF0OZkwwacJLalJ8LrKRPONJIPaWRV3myzRN IorZ821qubrwycVFe2Xnc7VtC5KCVQaTOakuyNsEac6iwow7oJXhPbZkP/mPF7yH vonuVk+7VzVn+zI5fPV9GkoMrq7QUHpJwxlmzGNPxdG0YELXBBhMOxDz2oiLYbKt 7E33NHnsZmv96kswrHq32eMqmL+DD4vsaikpOOvOaPyYE5rWeTaNQksNJ10vKnt2 LEpuEUnR7GOYoeVZheoDCRvuyVwhm6F+Wj1eMtkkG2WPqA4PINjwgvyJqTn9uMnl VyxTpJgkZlEiZOZzen70TP4rN5guUdxq5dKy92HZPzRPm5p9sXLYlWdgnfZioZdy kn+b/6iu6YW5ySJzG2Fq+135GeUWhLOcHa2zY/rgBgbyCId8ukJ1S/jKkbsg+gdG pQFKO76uK6pcgH3cr+MR+vYJhVhO/1PVJgyWtvmu0LbYxmtaLe1xO/9xC+v9pyP4 +QRivqZKa6rToiD/wTVNwvzF9xrEtj/4wFdBCUgn4g1unu4QKP+0O+hIMFXf3ym7 16kdvBBHw9HkON+WaZt0 =qJUb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
