Hi Jarred,

I contributed to Bun one time for SQLite. I've a question about the licensing. Will each contributor continue to retain their copyright, or will a CLA be introduced?

Thanks


With Bun's existing OSS license and contribution model, all contributors retain their copyright and Bun retains the license to use those contributions. An acquisition of this kind cannot change the terms under which prior contributions were made without explicit agreement from all contributors. If Bun did switch to a CLA in the future, just like with any OSS project, that would only impact future contributions made after that CLA went into effect and it depends entirely on the terms established in that hypothetical CLA.


Hello, thank you, but that doesn't answer my question. I'm not asking for a definition, but for information about licensing decisions for the future of Bun.


The atmosphere is amazing. Really good job... continue :-)


Obrigado amigo <3


trump-lang is a totally stable genius programming language made for developers who don’t like to wait, think twice, or read error messages.

Designed with rapid decision-making, alternative logic, and absolutely no regard for international standards — it’s the only language endorsed by billionaires who don’t code.


It is unfortunate. GCC has enabled the compilation of countless lines of source code for nearly 40 years and has served millions of users. Regardless of whether its design is considered good or bad today, GCC has played an essential role and has enabled the emergence of many projects and new compilers. GCC deserves deep respect.


Terminal Velocity and Fury3 before it...


The cloud is optional and you have a root SSH access to the tablet. It's possible to impl. your own service for syncing or just sync via SSH with scripts.


They don’t want a solution. They want to hate on a corporation.



Seems a lot better than some of the ones in the post

I'm still using Windows 7 for specific Visual Studio 2019 developments where I must code. Most of times I'm under Debian.

For Windows specific build-only machine I use the free Hyper-V Server installation with OpenSSH installed via powershell and Add-WindowsCapability. I'ts one of the best Windows IMHO because there is nothing installed.


I've a certificate whish is valid until 2022 (valid for 5 years) (generated in 2017 after paied 100$). I distribute only free games (GPLv3) that I sign with this certificate. For Catalina, I can't notarize because I don't pay each year (my certificate is valid then it's useless to pay and I distribute only free softwares)... But I'm fucked by Apple for the notarization.

It's too expansive to pay just to distribute games that will be even refused probably on the app store because it's GPL.

Apple is just killing freedom and continue to take advantage of free softwares (free developers) on BSD, mach kernel, a lot of unix tools... even on projects started by Apple like LLVM Apple takes all advantages of all third contributions.


FWIW, Apple doesn't care if apps being distributed contain code licensed under the GPL. They care whether you have the appropriate rights to distribute the app on their store under their terms - and that is asserted by you.

A previous build of VLC was pulled from the store because someone claimed they had copyright on some of the code - because they did not want VLC in the store.
