We& #39;re interested in both feminist+queer features of software licenses, and feminist+queer critiques of these. Will document our experience pursuing a better licensing policy eg negotiations w/institutional stakeholders, reasoning, plans for iterating on this policy over time
We& #39;ve wanted to better attend @ScholarsLab license choices for a while, but jumpstarted by 3 events last year: @sarahmei& #39;s thread ( https://twitter.com/sarahmei/status/1172285551434579968)">https://twitter.com/sarahmei/... on Stallman’s harm to the Free Software Foundation community + to associated copyleft licenses + their user communities
Stallman’s subsequent resignation from FSF roles (president+board of directors member); and
@CoralineAda& #39;s creation of the “Hippocratic License” ( https://firstdonoharm.dev/ ),">https://firstdonoharm.dev/">... “a modified MIT license that specifically prohibits the use of open source software to harm others”.
