      As someone that generally dislikes the idea of copyright, I don’t disagree.

      It should be “copyleft” without a way of relicensing. It comes from the commons and you shouldn’t be able to lock away derivatives.

        Oh wow, I’ve seen the thought emporium on youtube and it just seemed like they were doing black magic, but I guess that’s just what biotech looks like to the uninitiated. I didn’t know they were active in open source biotech initiatives.

            Yeah definitely a project worth keeping an eye on, and I think they’re always looking for volunteers and collaborators

      Not sure I really get why its cringey, having intuitive catchy ways to describe important stuff is really helpful. I usually think I’m pretty sensitive to cringey stuff, but I dont really get that vibe with copyleft I guess

      Made by the same “GNU is Not Unix” (GNU) folks. Bunch of nerds really trying to keep and make the world more free.
