In reaction to @penpot@fosstodon.org acquiring VC funding an interesting discussion with @diacritica@fosstodon.org is unfolding on the #Penpot community forum after I expressed my concerns about this development wrt the #FOSS movement's involvement and use of the product. Key is if Penpot can give reassurances so that a relationship of Trust is (re)established. That needs good thinking how the relationship towards the community is shaped. When done well it can bring great chances and opportunity. https://community.penpot.app/t/penpot-our-time-has-come/1563/18?u=aschrijver

    these guys looking for profit :(

    blender non-profit model would be ideal instead

    at least free/libre for the time being. pretty sure they will introduce some open source core-only and so on business models. investors will ruin this all

What is libre culture?

Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.

Some beliefs include but aren’t limited to:

  • That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
  • That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
  • That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
  • That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
  • That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Rules

I’ve looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I’ve distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.

  • Please show common courtesy: Let’s make this community one that people want to be a part of.

  • Please keep posts generally on topic

  • No NSFW content

  • When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: “Project name and summary (GPL-3.0)”

Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it’s perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.
