| schestowitz | Chapter 19: Defective By Design is Defective By License | Aug 09 15:47 |
| schestowitz | Although I hear about the FSF often, the FSF actually provides materials you can work with freely -- their software. | Aug 09 15:47 |
| schestowitz | Defective By Design, a project by the FSF, provides materials you can do nothing with except regurgitate wholesale. I NEVER hear about Defective By Design unless the FSF mentions it. | Aug 09 15:47 |
| schestowitz | Lets compare various "branches" of the FSF on this... | Aug 09 15:47 |
| schestowitz | GNU Website: At the bottom, it says that pages are under a CC BY-ND 4.0 license. | Aug 09 15:47 |
| schestowitz | FSF Website: Same license, along with a link to a little blurb about why NoDerivs (ND, verbatim-only) licenses or similar restrictions are recommended for "works of opinion". This is an rms thing, and it is anti-Free-Culture. I would be happy enough if they did like the GNU website, and simply used ND without promoting it for an imaginary / invented category of works. | Aug 09 15:47 |
| schestowitz | The problem is that NoDerivs restrictions provide little benefit to the author, while preserving completely needless restrictions for the audience / remixers / other advocates. They wont prevent misquotes, or in the instance of rms, complete character assassination -- rms didnt use any license on his emails that Im aware of, but his words were still used to oust him from the FSF -- so what good does ND on "works of opinion" really | Aug 09 15:47 |
| schestowitz | protect? (I made this point before he was ousted, and it is just as true now). | Aug 09 15:47 |
| schestowitz | RMS himself refutes the notion that copyright "protects" the integrity of works in the first place -- as a response to people concerned about misusing or misattributing poorly-written or otherwise bad software to the wrong author. So what good is it for "works of opinion?" The answer is that it only reinforces a permission culture -- which reinforces the perceived need for "protections" like DRM itself. | Aug 09 15:47 |
| schestowitz | Free culture advocates (many of whom were inspired by the work of Lawrence Lessig or Karl Fogel, both of whom have either worked with the GNU Project or FSF board -- Fogel also served as part of OSI) know better than this. Unfortunately, the FSF continues to discourage freely-licensed works, maybe even on every page of its website. | Aug 09 15:47 |
| schestowitz | To show just how ridiculous this is, recently the FSF created this blog post: <a href="https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/free-software-is-what-unites-us"></a> | Aug 09 15:47 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 404 @ https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/free-software-is-what-unites-us"></a ) | Aug 09 15:47 | |
| schestowitz | The main feature of the post is a freely-licensed infographic, specifically the CC BY 4.0 license. At the bottom of the page of course, you have the usual ND 3.0 or later license, and the usual link to why works of opinion only need verbatim copying. | Aug 09 15:47 |
| schestowitz | This is largely out of sync with the community doing the most to create promotional materials. Of course Sacha Chuas work is a "work of opinion" -- called "Why I Love Free Software." Is it software? Only depending how you look at it. Is it a scholarly dissertation? Its her opinions about Free Software. It is both personal (which is alright) and political (which is also alright, of course). | Aug 09 15:47 |
| schestowitz | You could make similar infographics from other works if they were freely-licensed, and many people look for freely-remixable works because (as with free software) they like to promote things with all 4 freedoms -- not only software. | Aug 09 15:47 |
| schestowitz | For years, I have promoted this as a way of engaging more people with Free Software and the Four Freedoms. [cref http://techrights.org/2019/08/22/library-federation/ I am hardly alone in this. | Aug 09 15:47 |
| schestowitz | What about LibrePlanet? Just as DBD divides potential supporters over whether they support Free Culture or not, LibrePlanet divides potential supporters over Social Justice Hooey http://techrights.org/2020/07/24/social-justice | Aug 09 15:47 |
| schestowitz | One thing Open Source doesnt get is that its alright to divide potential supporters over whether they care about freedom or not -- but with the FSFs attacks on Free Culture, the division is completely unnecessary. It really serves no purpose at all. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-techrights.org | Guarding and Rescuing the FSF Titanic: A Free (as in Freedom) Library, and Federation of Advocates | Techrights | Aug 09 15:48 | |
| schestowitz | While LibrePlanet has its own way of dividing and reducing support, the licensing they use allows you to step outside of their petty crap and still promote free software with clips from videos and speeches -- if you want to. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | Are LibrePlanet speeches works of opinion? As much as any ND-clause or Verbatim-copying-only "licensed" work on the FSF website, absolutely. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-techrights.org | Social Justice Hooey Killed the Free Software Movement | Techrights | Aug 09 15:48 | |
| schestowitz | Defective By Design: We replace technical locks with legal restrictions. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | The funny thing about that is, DRM itself is really a legal restriction. While FSF Half-President Oliva claims DRM has NOTHING to do with copyright, copyright is the only thing that gives DRM any real teeth. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | Its these international trade agreements created by the American copyright cartels, plus American laws like the DMCA that turn breaking DRM into an actual crime. Without these extensions to copyright law, DRM would simply fail and fail and fail again. DRM would be almost perpetually broken, and that would be that. Its arguably more work to port the kernel to another platform -- so do we call new CPU architectures DRM? | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | People practically always break DRM, because (I think Cory Doctorow pointed this out, or perhaps Michael Geist, or both) it contains the algorithm, the encrypted data, as well as the key (and even the unencrypted data) -- on the same machine! Alice and Bob and the whole gang are here! Im afraid Oliva couldnt be more wrong -- The real way that DRM hurts your freedom is almost ENTIRELY about copyright. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | Yes, it is implemented with technical means and puts chains on the user -- and we should break those chains both on the technical and the legal level. But the technical means are really the weakest link in the chain. They are often (and Im not the first to say this) just an excuse to say you broke something, so that it can trigger anti-circumvention clauses. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | So the FSF doesnt even "Get" DRM -- they dont get the connection with Free Culture, and they have never gotten (no matter how many times people have pleaded with them) the idea that using free licenses for creative works would strengthen their connection with the people who are both more passionate (and more informed) about the problems of DRM and unnecessary restrictions on works -- the Free Culture movement. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | The result is an FSF that campaigns against Free Culture on every page of one website, while following (but not giving) the same advice on others -- while discouraging free licenses for "works of opinion" -- even on pages centred around a freely-licensed work of opinion. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | ShoeTool is also freely licensed: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/presenting-shoetool-happy-holidays-from-the-fsf and I think this was a good choice. Its a terrible shame that this comes about only months after the rms ousting, because it certainly didn't feel like Christmas (or Grav-mass) that year. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.fsf.org | Presenting: ShoeTool -- Happy Holidays from the FSF — Free Software Foundation — working together for free software | Aug 09 15:48 | |
| schestowitz | When the FSF says: "If we are to win the battle against DRM, it is important to have larger numbers on our side..." | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | And those larger numbers already exist, the problem is that the FSF (through DBD license choices, through draconian LibrePlanet policies) keeps throwing away allies who even base their core values on the four freedoms. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | One thing you do have to be careful of though, is the entire "larger numbers" argument in the first place. Of course we want more advocates -- we want all software to be free, we need more advocates to make that happen. The danger is in what youre willing to sacrifice (as with certain GNU maintainers moving to GitHub) just to get more people. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | Monopolies care about marketshare, because if you dont have it -- youre not a monopoly. When you have freedom, people often go their own way -- that reduces the likelihood that everybody does (or uses) the same thing. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | If you try to corral everyone under exactly the same solutions, you can say that people are free because the license is free, but youre still trying to corral them -- youre trying to get them to do what YOU want, rather than what they want. How much does a free license enable people to do what they want, while you try to find ways around it to get them to all do the same things, without any choices available? | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | The new monopoly move is to use the license, and find other ways of restricting the use. It happened with Tivo, it happened with the anti-GPL3 lobbying, it will happen with these political mutinies and political manipulations. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | I invite people who care about Free Culture to replace Defective By Design, with something of their own that is Effective By Design. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | DBD meanwhile has the same restrictions that DRM has -- you cant remix it, and its (mostly) illegal if you break it. RMS cites "fair use" but that isnt a right -- its a defense. And it varies wildly, while Free Culture licensing is much more universal. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | The new FSF considers itself good at speaking for us, but it has long been criticised for its inability to hear. The censorship and lies coming from the new guard, prove that rms was never the (sole) reason that the organisation was deaf to its members. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | The FSF simply doesn't care to learn or ever be in touch with its community. We arent good enough for them, to speak for our own freedom. Its fortunate then that we dont need their permission -- unless we are silly enough to attend "Libre" Planet. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | No thanks, but at least we can add our comments to your videos, which remains an option even for your ousted leader. To me, that proves how liberating free culture licensing really is. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | If someone is looking for a way to re-invent, recreate or reboot the thing that the DBD website is SUPPOSED to be, starting with LibrePlanet videos about DRM might not be a bad start. Of course there are other freely-licensed materials you can use for that too. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | You could even go further and make your own freely-licensed website for Free Software itself -- starting with Chuas freely-licensed image. After all, all it takes for free software to start being about freedom again (and for her graphic to be realistic again) is enough users and developers (and authors and artists) who really want freedom. | Aug 09 15:48 |
| schestowitz | (This chapter version is edited to focus on certain aspects of the subject slightly more than the original article did). | Aug 09 15:48 |

| schestowitz | Can you keep me in the loop in all this? If I occasionally mention this, it can put up the pressure. | Aug 09 23:52 |

| schestowitz | The last backup dump for WordPress was almost empty. I looked at the garbage in the compressed file. No incidents at that time. Have not noticed issues since. I looked at dmesg for any clues. This may be nothing big, let's wait and see if the next backup, in about 4 hours works OK. | Aug 09 23:58 |
| schestowitz | My guess is that it'll next fine next time around, but this kind of situation is rare. Maybe an interruption to the mysql process. | Aug 09 23:58 |
| schestowitz | Actually, I do remember the backups stopping short, sort of... which surprised me, and now I see other dumps doing the same at that period. | Aug 09 23:58 |

| schestowitz | OK, so empty files basically. I'll put it in my todo to verify it works OK next time around. | Aug 09 23:58 |
