Noncommercial-only licenses are hard

Christopher Lemmer Webber makes a fair point:

Let me be clear: I’m not arguing with the desire to pay developers in his system, I’m arguing that this is a non-solution. To recap, here re the problems with noncommercial:

• What commercial/noncommercial are is hard to define
• NC doesn’t compose; a tower of noncommercial-licensed tools is a truly brittle one to audit and resolve
• The appeal of NC is in non-compliance

– Noncommercial Doesn’t Compose (and it never will)

For both content and software, it’s just such a mess.

Side effect of using Fraidyc.at as your reader: listing by source means you easily see how long it’s been since someone updated their blog.

The urge to nudge friends is strong.

A rare quiet still moment with Jumpy Dog (sitting) and Loud Dog (laying)

Ah the melodic warble of the nightly car alarm. That one sounds like a southern red-crested tomplewomp, famously nervous around heavy trucks.

Thanks, Tumblr. I had a nostalgia moment and nearly forgot you’d gone stupid.
