This is super cool, thanks a lot Hernán ! On 8/17/2022 8:55 AM, Hernán Morales Durand wrote: Dear all, I'd like to share a new Spec app for building badges made with Pharo 10. It is based on the Shields.io badge service provider. Select the badges you want, complete the required variables, and get your badge(s). You can also save and load commonly used variables, so it may help a bit to automate presenting your project's README. See the install instructions and usage video at: https://github.com/hernanmd/shield-badges Please note that this is a 0.1 release, so there is certainly a lot of room for improvement. Cheers, Hernán
[Pharo-users] Re: Omnibase/Monibase repository removal
There is a comment in one of the commits from 2005 (OmniBase-jf.2) that suggests that OmniBase had a free with restrictions license: http://www.squeaksource.com/@dZ70JMB-R7RDi4-m/Ox-ysyAT Also, licensing was messier these days, some of that mess creeps up until today.

From my reading, it seems like whoever posted OmniBase to github 9 years ago added the MIT license without permission and the OmniBase library remains closed source. > On Aug 23, 2022, at 6:46 AM, s...@clipperadams.com wrote: > > I’m not fully understanding the issue. > > > > Is it that: > > • The repos are violating the library license (other than the erroneous > MIT license, which could easily be updated)? > > • The fact that OmniBase is not open source violates a principle you > have in continuing to host it? > > If the latter, may I suggest you offer to transfer the repo(s) to a willing > party? >
[Pharo-users] Re: Omnibase/Monibase repository removal
There is no need to transfer any repo. Since it’s git-based, every forked repo is as good as the original. I’ve updated the license info on my fork. At some future point, I may delete my fork. IANAL. For a hobby project, the current non-open-source license would probably suffice. Not that long ago, a lot of effort was done to get Squeak (and therefore Pharo) properly Apache/MIT-licensed so as to make the licensing clear for commercial use. Recently I got a new Droplet on Digital Ocean, and a few weeks later I got a Copyright takedown notice. They were going to block my server because they got a report that Copyrighted material was hosted on that machine. The URL they supplied was not my DNS. Seems some automated scanner had flagged the content, but then took two weeks to send out the takedown request, which got sent to me (the new owner of the machine). I’m not saying that a takedown for Omnibase is going to happen, but the fact that it *could* happen is a sufficient deterrent for commercial use, IMHO.

[Pharo-users] Re: Omnibase/Monibase repository removal
I’m not fully understanding the issue. Is it that: * The repos are violating the library license (other than the erroneous MIT license, which could easily be updated)? * The fact that OmniBase is not open source violates a principle you have in continuing to host it? If the latter, may I suggest you offer to transfer the repo(s) to a willing party?
[Pharo-users] Breaking news: Esug - Angela Bragagnolo
Thanks a lot to all of you to show all the care you had these last days and for helping this much with everything: calling ambassies, universities, directives etc. Special thanks to Gordana whom barely slept since Sunday trying and finally achieving to find the solution, and simulationeusly dealt with my stress. And to the university vice dean and dean, without whom we wouldn't have any political power nor any idea on how to react. Also to the medics and guards those that helped her in need. It has been a really f***ed up days . I wish you all a great time. I regret to not be there this year. Best for all of you! Santiago.
