   (neo)’liberal’ licenses like MIT and BSD that enable corporations to partake of the free labour of othersimplying that the #GPL / #AGPL doesn't let corps partake in the free labor of others tooand enclose the commonsYour "open commons" is worthless if it's effectively still proprietary. Case in point: #Mastodon's #ActivityPub extensions that pretty much everybody else have to support (Mastodon is AGPL, and it's not realistic to implement ActivityPub strictly to the spec and expect it to be compatible with Mastodon). Or GNUisms (implemented by #GNU software which are GPL) that #BSD userlands are forced to support. Or #Matrix where there's basically only one server implementation that is usable (#Synapse whichis AGPL). I could go on and on.

     @mima@makai.chaotic.ninja this also gets far worse since Microsoft literally sponsors Mastodon, literally the Windows of Fediverse
