I stumbled upon the Blue Oak Model License 1.0.0 today. What do you guys think about it?

The longer I go on the more I have trouble telling the difference between #copyright and #copyleft. In one instance you can only use a product by provisionally waiving your right to distribute modifications except as permitted in a contractual agreement with the distributors, and the other is copyright.

So apparently the #OSI, an organization which only exists to arbitrarily give a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down to #opensource software licenses, is expanding their scope "beyond license approval." It's not really clear what that means, which makes me nervous.
Not long ago there were efforts by the likes of Coraline Ada Ehmke to infiltrate the #freesw movement and undermine the #meritocracy that makes #FOSS software work. We'll have to keep an eye on this; the price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
#opensource developers need to keep this in mind. This is our strength over proprietary and restricted software. Our leaders must be chosen by merit alone, or we risk a total collapse of what's made us so great.
So for those of you who have had a dream and made it real, keep on.
I finally have a proper level generator for my #roguelike. It's much like most traditional maps, with rooms, twisty little passages, and mold growing on the walls. Sacrificing quantity of rooms for size was the right choice, I think; it will allow for more diversity in the maps as time goes on.
This game is of course #opensource and can be found at https://github.com/swashdev/SwashRL
I'm an aspiring #gamedev who occasionally pretends to be a writer. I believe very strongly in free software and the free market and oppose censorship in all its forms.
