Awhile back, I created a web app to find concerts pof bands featured on #BagelRadio . I found it amazingly useful. I am not thinking that I would love to have something like this for other concerts.

I am thinking of creating a general-purpose database for events and different views of the data for different interests. One that comes to mind is artists featured here on Six Degrees of Ohio.

This would also allow me to play with a #GraphDatabase like #Neo4J while i am at it.

#FreeSoftwareFoundation rides to defend #AGPLv3 against #Neo4j license add-ons
FOSS bods file amicus brief in hope of preserving core #GNU tenet of freedom forever
"At stake is the future of not just the AGPLv3, but the #FSF's widely used GNU Public License it is largely based on, and the software covered by those agreements."

Talk me out of building a #Neo4j implementation in parallel to my existing #PostgreSQL DB (with a subset of tables as nodes) for queries that tend to be "graph-like" in nature.

In particular, I'm thinking of failure analysis, predictive maintenance, etc in relation to physical infrastructure I model as a directed acyclic graph.

Is this just my #ADHD wanting to try something new, or could I actually find value in this side-quest? 😬

After previously pushing #Neo4j to correct their abuse of the #AGPL our sister organisation the @fsf now submitted an amicus brief to defend #softwarefreedom . The #GNU licenses were designed to empower users and it is important that we as #FreeSoftware community make sure this is understood.

⚠️ Adverse appeals court ruling could kill GPL software license
—@theregister

｢ In May 2018, Neo4j dropped the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) for its Neo4j EE (enterprise edition) and replaced it with a new license that incorporated the AGPLv3 with the Commons Clause license. The revised license disallowed non-paying software users from reselling the code or offering support services ｣

#Appealscourt may kill a #GNU #GPL software license
If #appellatecourt upholds Neo4j v. PureThink decision, which endorsed database maker #Neo4j's right to amend GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 (#AGPL), governing use of its software with new binding terms, current assumptions about enforceability of #copyleft licenses will no longer apply. Issue before appeals court boils down to the right to remove contractual restrictions added to the terms of the #APGLv3.

The whole amicus brief is a good read, but damn there's some good sass towards the end XD

This is the sort of legal work that makes the conservancy shine, and I hope that the conservancy keeps its members abreast of this case as it develops. Good work Aaron Williamson and good work Software Freedom Conservancy!

#SFC Files #AmicusBrief in Support of Users' Rights under AGPLv3§7 - Software Freedom Conservancy

SFC filed an amicus brief in the ongoing case of #Neo4j , Inc. v. #PureThink , LLC, which is now appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. The appeal focuses on a downstream licensee's right under the Affero #GPL , v 3 (& similar rights under GPLv3 & LGPLv3) to remove “Further Restrictions” — even when such restrictions are put in place by original licensors.
