| schestowitz | [19:40] <danielinux> yes indeed, and cloud lock-in. And stomping on standards. So I see the market fit there, where standards for cloud communication and firmware upgrades are thin and just taking off. | Sep 09 00:33 |
| schestowitz | [19:43] <danielinux> I saw a nice panel at RIOT-OS summit in Helsinki this week. Video will be out soon. | Sep 09 00:33 |

| schestowitz | [19:45] <danielinux> it contains a call for action to not trust third parties for key management in IoT devices | Sep 09 00:33 |
| schestowitz | [19:48] <danielinux> Microsoft is only one of the actors in this context. I've been following ARM's attempts of acquisition of GPL projects in embedded for many years. For some reason they push to remove copyleft from the projects they want to acquire. | Sep 09 00:33 |
| schestowitz | [19:48] <danielinux> (that's how PolarSSL became mbedTLS at the time and lost its GPL) | Sep 09 00:33 |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-summit.riot-os.org | Jari Arkko – RIOT Summit 2019 | Sep 09 00:33 | |
| schestowitz | [19:50] <danielinux> the old method of hiring the project manager to remove copyleft from the project -- see also FreeRTOS becoming Amazon FreeRTOS (this time GPL->MIT) | Sep 09 00:33 |
| schestowitz | [19:54] <danielinux> I have a long track record of these, and Jaromil has more cases he found out about in other contexts, I am meeting with him this week to collect ideas for a talk to spread awareness, we'll be in touch if you are interested | Sep 09 00:33 |
| schestowitz | [19:55] <danielinux> we both think we need a new way to talk about copyleft to software developers, but also to people taking decisions | Sep 09 00:33 |
| schestowitz | [19:59] <danielinux> apologies if all this sounds random, I just wanted to share with you part of my current activity since I saw you mentioning my toot in the openwashing post | Sep 09 00:33 |
| schestowitz | [20:19] <danielinux> sorry I was wrong about polarSSL, looks like they re-instated a GPL for mbedTLS recently (probably due to compatibility problems with Apache2 in GPL2 projects) | Sep 09 00:33 |

| schestowitz | Now that IBM owns Red Hat, and much of Gnome by extension, it’s going to be harder to avoid systemd. It’s already a pain in the rear. | Sep 09 06:32 |

| schestowitz | It is precisely the gratuitous dependencies that are the biggest problem with systemd. | Sep 09 06:32 |
| schestowitz | In the long run I don’t think systemd will prevail. Too many technically expert people can see that this is not the way to go. I’m very impressed with what is happening with Guix and GuixSD, and Devuan seems to be doing OK. | Sep 09 06:32 |
