The Forklift Certified License

Someone once compared the web to the wild west. A set of anarchist communities getting on mostly well with no rules, then the whities discover it and introduce property and ownership. Capitalism then destroyed what was there and introduced the idea of every man for himself, which means there is no going back. FOS isn't the enemy, and it's not dead. It has just gone somewhere else and they're not telling you where.
ahofmann•4mo ago
Yeah, but to be honest the anarchist communities were (and are) pretty pale and hadn't much sun ;-)
yaomtc•4mo ago
FOS = Free and Open Source?
awesomeusername•4mo ago
This is now my favorite page on the internet.

What a massive breath of fresh air.

Just yay.

ahofmann•4mo ago
"Orange Website commenters" got me, I laughed, thank you!

The content, the design and the license are a nice blast from the past. Weird, cringy and highly relatable. I like the forklift certified license!

If you didn't click any links, I recommend you go back and do so.
ahofmann•4mo ago
Aw man, some of us have no humor and flagged it, shame.

You won't make any friends giving a gift that is equally valuable to every person in the world

To make friends, lift some people up while putting others down.

Imustaskforhelp•4mo ago
yes, and their license is trying to (atleast their intention is) uplift the people who are opressed while putting others who are opressing in th first place.
conartist6•4mo ago
Indeed. So it's a good way to make friends.

It's also naming an enemy, which I find ominous. That was the first thing Trump did.

It defines such a narrow vision of what is socially acceptable liberalism that I dislike it as a diehard liberal because we need to build coalitions to win elections. Liberals win when the center votes with the left, and ostracizing moderates for having failed a purity test helps exactly none with that.

Imustaskforhelp•4mo ago
I agree.

I don't believe in everything the left says tbh and I am more of bernie sanders -esque socialism left than the woke pronoun (no offense to anybody, just something that I consider to be of less importance than goddamn billionaires)

I believe that the left has this problem of taking small differences, amplifying them up 100x and then dividing the vote split.

I don't agree with the forklift guys in that aspect but uh I can understand their perspective tbh which was I wrote that comment.

culturestate•4mo ago
I’m no lawyer but I feel like clause seven leaves a clear opening to undermine the spirit of this license:

> “The User may not sell this Work directly, unless they/she/he/it/ey/fae/ze/bun/puppy/foxxo … use it only as a small part of a work of a much greater scale.”

That said, TIL that there are two things that can be considered “Belgium denialism” and surprisingly neither of them involves refusing to acknowledge that Belgium exists.

toast0•4mo ago
Belgium exists, but it's just a front for the waffle dealers.
mikestaas•4mo ago
What is the other interpretation of “Belgium denialism” if not pretending that Belgium doesn't exists? I can't find a reference.
Ancapistani•4mo ago
I assume it’s a reactionary movement in response to the realization that Finland does not exist.
magnusm•4mo ago
Wow! Had a good laugh here and there. I like the writing style ;)
ptek•4mo ago
Would have been good if the license doesn't allow training in commercial LLMs :/
1gn15•4mo ago
Not only would that be unenforceable, this comment shows just why these licenses don't work: everyone wants their restriction added onto it.

That's why my stuff is in AGPL, so people who want to use proprietary licenses such as this won't be able to do so.

(Or they'll just ignore it, just like I ignore theirs.)

Imustaskforhelp•4mo ago
Huh, why is this flagged!?

My god, I was writing this comment or some other comment and it wasn't flagged but then it got flagged during the process or after I wrote my comment or in between it

It shouldn't be flagged imo.

It was funny and it was almost shitposting

Did the yellow website guys joke truly offend someone or-?

Also, I had one criticsm-ish of the website that they say that "If the User is an organization with paid workers, the amount of employees cannot exceed 10."

Like that kinda doesn't make sense, in the sense that what do they want, that companies with more employees are bad or something!? I genuinely don't understand that line tbh

I came across ACAP license through their website https://anticapitalist.software/ and its kinda cool
