Linux@lemmy.ml•FSF on OnlyOffice/EuroOffice: You cannot use the GNU (A)GPL to take software freedom awayEnglish
2·6 months agoThey aren’t forking US tech because the US tech doesn’t pretend to be open source, so they can’t fork them.
The are building Euro-Office specifically to stop reliance on US tech though, it’s not targeted at once nation, it’s targeted at all nations that try to control tech. Which is mostly the US.
IDK what tangent you’re going on with the other things you’ve said, that’s off topic.
But yea India, like all nations, shouldn’t rely on foreign tech for infrastructure.

3·6 months agoI don’t think people are discriminating against Russians. They just recognize that we can’t depend on Russian tech.
Most people don’t have issues with Russians, Americans, Chinese etc.
But fuck all three those countries, and we should not rely on either of their tech, and cut out dependencies on their tech, especially in the government sector.

Russian isn’t a race, just like South-African isn’t a race.

181·6 months agoIf all they do is force OnlyOffice to no longer use the AGPL3 liscence (or remove those restrictions)
That would damage their brand permanently, they main reason people use OO is because the pretend to be FOSS.
Many of their customers would start looking for alternatives

Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Euro-Office: European industry initiative launches office suiteEnglish
1·6 months agoThey took AGPL3 and added a clause to it under a section where you’re allowed to add clauses.
However in AGPL3 it says you’re not allowed to add restrictions.
So in their own liscence it says they are not allowed to add restrictions beyond a certain scope.
And then they break that rule.
So I’d say their extra clause, according to they liscence they released, is invalid

32·6 months agoExactly, they are focusing on what they do well, and letting others do their part elsewhere.
Are we to criticize Euro-Office when they don’t drive European made cars too?

2·6 months agoI only use nextcloud as a Drive, and I use deck.
So it’s fairly easy to replace with alternatives, or build your own.
I considered not running it and looking for alternatives, but it’s quite influential and big in the FOSS world, so I like using it and seeing how it progresses and how it is to use

AGPL3 prevents you from adding restrictions.
In clause 7 3(b) they add a clause that you must keep their Logo etc. In the UI
The almost immediately in a follow up clause restrict anyone from using their Logo etc.
With those clauses, you can’t fork the repo. Which adds a restriction, which is against AGPL3
