View source for Maltfield Log/2026

This is my ([[User:Maltfield|Michael Altfield]]'s) work log from 2026

I intentionally make my log entries ''very'' verbose -- to make future volunteer's work easier. The more information that is dumped into this log, the more helpful it will be for future volunteers.

# one of the authors of the CERN OHL license got back to me! https://forums.ohwr.org/t/possible-to-triple-license-cern-ohl-s-2-0-agpl-3-0-cc-by-sa-4-0/849882/6
# they confirmed what I said: don't license under 3 licenses, or the person who uses our stuff can choose which license they want. that's not good.
# unfortuantely they didn't comment on my copyright DEP5 file, so I asked them to
# in the meantime, I did look into REUSE
## it looked like a big PIA. their demo vid shows you having to define the license of every file. that's a nightmare.
## the docs said that there is a 'convert dep5'. that would be a lifesaver! https://codeberg.org/fsfe/reuse-tool
## I installed reuse from apt, but I discovered there is NO 'convert-dep5' option :(
## I tried, instead, to install from pip (very insecure but I did it in a dispVM), and it *does* have the 'convert-dep5' command

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install

	install.
    
	If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
	create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
	Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make

# RECOMMENDATIONS

* Fix missing licenses: For at least one of the license identifiers provided by
  the 'SPDX-License-Identifier' tags, there is no corresponding license text
  file in the 'LICENSES' directory. For SPDX license identifiers, you can simply
  run 'reuse download --all' to get any missing ones. For custom licenses
  (starting with 'LicenseRef-'), you need to add these files yourself.

  file in the 'LICENSES' directory. For SPDX license identifiers, you can simply
  run 'reuse download --all' to get any missing ones. For custom licenses
  (starting with 'LicenseRef-'), you need to add these files yourself.
* Fix unused licenses: At least one of the license text files in 'LICENSES' is
  not referenced by any file, e.g. by an 'SPDX-License-Identifier' tag. Please
  make sure that you either tag the accordingly licensed files properly, or
  delete the unused license text if you are sure that no file or code snippet is
  licensed as such.

## looks like that only created the toml file. None of the files are actually annoated; we do that with `reuse annotate`
### apparently that command only works for individual files, so I did some find magic

## ah fuk, that didn't do what we wanted at all. I expected it would have pulled the copyright info from the REUSE.toml file. Instead it just took the contents '--license' as the value of the copyright attribute :(

Q: How can I get updates about Eco-Libre?
(virtualenv) user@disp4360:~/sandbox/life-line$ 
</pre>
## the faq says that we *should* update headers to every file, but it's not necessary if we use `REUSE.toml` file – as was also indicated with the `reuse lint` output above https://reuse.software/faq/
## we can, at any time, get a list of every file's copyright and license using the `reuse spdx` command

# so that means that, if I wanted to build a spdx bom (one file that lists every copyright & license of every file in the repo, by following the REUSE.toml file's spec) using a CI job on-push, I would have to download some sketch code and then give it permission to modify the repo's contents. That's a problem
## Eco-Libre isn't a huge security risk, but the first thing that comes to mind is our "donate to us" info in the docs. If someone did a Remote Code Execution (the vuln opened by the fact that pip is vulnerable to a MITM attack when it downloads software because it isn't cryptographically signed – like with gpg as apt has done for decades), then an attacker could swap any of our docs as they please on-build – including changing our bitcoin address. Or URL to the "donate" page
## It's also concieveable that it would tell someone to build something that's obviously very unsafe. And, for heavy machinerary, that could be very bad.
## threfore, I guess we'll just skip this nice-to-have. It should be enough to just link them to the spec and the toml file

# TODO: write an article about this on our website, explaining our rationale, how to add it to a repo, and an example (eg life-line but probably create an article-specific repo with some eco-libre internal & also external hardware files plus some content in other licenses)

# I started working on writing a privacy policy for wiki.eco-lbre.org
# I wrote one years ago for OSE. editing history suggests I finished that in Nov 2018 https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/index.php?title=Media-wiki:Privacy_policy&action=history
# I largely copied it from the Creative Commons Privacy Policy, and I know Marcin made some (very non-gdpr-compliant) changes to it since then (in 2024)
# so I did diff of the current privacy policy on CC's website and OSE's; they had very little in common! https://creativecommons.org/privacy/
# it looks like CC updated their Privacy Policy in Dec 2019, so unfortuantly about a year after I did my work with it, they changed it almost completely
# so I'm just going to start fresh with this, and make changes I think necessary
# I struggled to find the ToS page. It didn't appear on the special list of  long pages, and nothign returend for a search of "terms of service" – I guess because it's in the Eco-Libre namespace? I had to search my logs to find it https://wiki.eco-libre.org/wiki/Eco-Libre:Terms_of_Service
# I think I should change the link in the bottom-left footer from "Privacy Policy" to "Terms of Service" – since the PP is one of the ToS (and not the other way around)
## here's the docs on how to change the links in the footer https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Footer
## I was able to do this by updating the following two pages (one is the hyperlink text and one is the hyperlink article destination)
### https://wiki.eco-libre.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Privacypage
### https://wiki.eco-libre.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Privacy
# I created the Privacy Policy from the CC one, cleaned up the syntax and did my best to replace all the relevant CC stuff to EL https://wiki.eco-libre.org/wiki/Eco-Libre:Privacy_policy
# the privacy policy references a CoC (Code of Conduct). Ugh, I guess we need one of those too..
## I wonder if we can say "you must wash your hands with soap and water" and "you must take b12 if you're vegan" in the CoC. Or is that *another* agreement?
## probably we should make some CoC that applies to in-person and remote users *and* a separate agreement with that sort of thing, only for live-in guests (maybe call it a "Housing Agreeemnt" or something)
## here's the rules from veganism.social
<pre>
	Rule #1No speciesism, animal abuse, carnists, omnivores, vegetarians, or other non-vegans
	Rule #2Sexually explicit or violent media must be marked as sensitive when posting
	Rule #3No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, fatphobia, or casteism
	Rule #4No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies
	Rule #5No harassment or doxxing of other users
	Rule #6Do not share intentionally false or misleading information

## here's chaos.social, which is where we have our mastodon now
<pre>

Rules

We expect users on chaos.social to adhere to the following rules:

	No content condoning or advocating for the oppression of members of marginalised groups, or general discrimination of groups based on characteristics like gender, race, disabilities, nationality, education, religion etc.
	No harassment, stalking, mobbing, deadnaming, misgendering, contacting users who have made it clear they do not wish to be contacted.
	Obviously: no content that is illegal in Germany, no actions intended to damage this instance (performance, reputation, security).
	No right or alt-right bullshit, Nazi content, conspiracy narratives.
	No automated accounts (unless approved by the moderators). This includes bots, crossposters, feedposters etc.
	When posting to the local timeline, provide Content Warnings for violence, sexually explicit content, death/disease, and politics, particularly when negative or controversial (those are the larger categories, a CW might be something like “uspol, elections”).
	When posting to the local timeline, provide image descriptions.
	Provide credit for creative works that are not your own. That includes marking AI generated content clearly as such.

Clarification: You post to the local timeline when you give your post “public” visibility. If you don’t want to follow local timeline rules, you can post with visibility “quiet public” (which used to be called “unlisted”) – posts will still be visible to everybody (your followers and everybody else), they just won’t get shown on the local and federated timelines. Boosts also do not appear on the local timeline.

Note that the instance is also subject to our terms and privacy policy.
Best practices

We ask users on chaos.social to keep the following guidelines in mind, in order to foster a considerate and accessible atmosphere. Forgetting about them is not as serious as breaking the instance rules, but repeated malicious unwillingness to follow the best practices will be considered just like breaking a rule.

	Use content warnings liberally, especially for topics that are potentially disturbing or controversial, or that make life harder for people struggling with addiction or trauma.
	Don’t be a reply guy – uninvited comments about another user’s personal choices, lifestyle or family are strongly discouraged and may be considered harassment.
	In discussions, please remain civil, do not insult the people you’re talking to. Don’t escalate.

Enforcement

Rules are only worth as much as their enforcement, so here is what you can expect from the chaos.social moderators (we will publish our moderation guidelines in the future, but here’s the short version):

Breaking these rules can get you kicked off the instance, though unless you’re behaving in bad faith, we will give you several warnings first. Going against the Best Practices can also get you kicked off the instance, but you have to really persistently act against them (and at that point, why are you on chaos.social?).

Please report behaviour that bothers you. We will keep your report confidential.

We run this instance in our spare time, so we can’t respond instantly. We try to react to all reports within a day, but please allow for delays. You can always contact us us in private if you have concerns about moderation. We will not comment in public about individual moderation cases.
Ultimately,

we (@leah and @rixx) are maintaining this instance on our spare time, hardware and nerves. Don’t push either of those.

The rules are licensed under CC-BY-SA by chaos.social e.V.

### and this one explicilty says it's CC-BY-SA, so that's cool.
## I guess we'll copy chaos.socials' since it's already copyleft
## ok, here's what I came-up with
<pre>
By using this website, you agree to the following Code of Conduct:

# Only submit content for which you have the right to submit it under the terms of our copyleft licensing (it must either be created in whole or in part by you or already licensed under a comparable copyleft)
# No AI content! This is a violation of rule #1.
# No content condoning or advocating for the oppression of members of marginalised groups, or general discrimination of groups based on characteristics like species, gender, race, disabilities, nationality, education, religion etc.
# No harassment, stalking, mobbing, deadnaming, misgendering, contacting users who have made it clear they do not wish to be contacted.
# No content that is illegal in Germany or Ecuador, no actions intended to damage this instance (performance, reputation, security).
# No pro-fascist or pro-Nazi content
# Post Content Warnings for violence, sexually explicit content, death and/or disease
# Whenever possible, provide image descriptions for visually impaired readers
# No misinformation or disinformaton
# Provide attribution (credit) for works that are not your own. This should include a name of the original copyright holder and a link to the source.
</pre>
# now we have a CLA (Community License Agreement), ToS (Terms of Service), PP (Privacy Policy), and CoC (Code of Conduct)
## so I think we still have just 2 agreeements missing
### Public Data Agreement
### In-House Volunteer Agreement
# I had previously drafted the Public Data Agreeement as followes
<pre>
1. I understand that Eco-Libre will publish all of my work publicly on their website
2. I understand that, because my work is licensed openly, I cannot request it to be taken down from the Internet
3. I understand that I have the right to use an alias, so that all of my work can be attributed to an anonymous profile with no PII (publicly identifiable information).
4. I understand that, if I wish to use an anonymous identity for my public contributions, then I should not use my real name in this application
5. I understand that currently my name is set to XXXX, and this is the name that will be publicly listed on Eco-Libre's website associated with all of my contributions
</pre>
## I'm actually not fully sure that's necessary. The PP from CC had a clause
<pre>
Eco-Libre Volunteers.

## well, I guess this satisfies the legal requirements, but I do want to make the pseudonym stuff more clear. But I apparently wrote that to go on the application itself. Currently our application process is non-existant: the user just sends and email, we have a call, and we figure it out. I did just add some docs to sign to that process, but we need a more streamlined process: a form
## it's on our TODO list to review some wordpress plugins that we can use for building an application process. eventually *that's* where this text should be copied, and it should reference things like our official Privacy Policy
# the other thing was our " In-House Volunteer Agreement" which is *really* premature, as we don't even have housing yet. Nonetheless, I drafted this
<pre>
1. I am at least 15 years old
2. I sincerely want live a sustainable lifestyle and work on developing tools to help others live sustainably. I understand that volunteering at Eco-Libre is an active experience, not a cheap vacation. 
3. I am ready to participate in the community and share in the daily routine of my hosts, while respecting their living conditions and boundaries.
4. I will contribute my time to the community the agreed-upon number of hours per week.
5. I am willing to adapt to a lifestyle that may be different from mine. I will make known to the community any pertinent health conditions (disabilities, addictions...) beforehand.
6. I have insurance that will cover me for accidents, illness, and liability during my stay. I am aware that Eco-Libre cannot be held responsible for damages and / or losses linked to my stay.
7. I will prevent the spread of disease by washing my hands with soap and water after using the toilet and before preparing meals
8. I will only purchase vegan goods (derived from non-animal sources) during my time at Eco-Libre in accordance with the community values of ecological sustainability.
9. I will supplement my diet by taking vitamin B12
</pre>
# I also think that should be included in the online volunteer application form. And probably physically signed by folks who are going to actually come to Ecudaor. But we're not there yet...
# anyway, I think we've finally satisifed the requrements of (and finished the configuration of) ConfirmAccount!

# someone answered my "how do I license kdnelive files" here https://opensource.stackexchange.com/a/15747/30915
<pre>
It sounds like your desired outcome is that copies of your mp4 can only be distributed while also sharing the kdenlive source files. You're correct that CC ShareAlike terms won't do this. ShareAlike requires that all downstream works that reuse the work be shareable under the same kind of ShareAlike license, but it doesn't require redistributors to share the underlying source code.

If you do want to require source to accompany your work, this requirement differs from the desires of many artists who choose a CC license: they want their song or image to be shared around without having to be followed by the underlying sound-editor archive or photo-editor layer file. If that actually is what you want, then the GPL is a sensible choice for such a strong requirement, and it is perfectly applicable to non-software works.

 * https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLOtherThanSoftware

If you don't want to impose this requirement, then I think CC BY-SA is still a reasonable choice for the underlying "source code" of your video. The output mp4 is legally derivative of your kdenlive files, so CC BY-SA will ensure that all mp4 files made from (derivatives of) your kdenlive source must also be freely shareable under CC BY-SA, but will not impose source disclosure. Future derivatives of the source kdenlive files will, similarly, have to remain under CC BY-SA even as others change them (but they can be kept secret even when built into a CC BY-SA mp4).
</pre>
# I half-decided we should then license all artwork (images made in gimp or inkscape, videos made in kdenlive) under GPL, so the sources would need to be public
# then I started thinking, hey, maybe our documentation should also be GPL, since sphinx and reST are like sources for PDFs they produce
# then I realized what that would actually mean. Say we make a video showing the construction of a launch-nest. Say the sources for that video include a camera that was mounted to a post and recording for 8 hours every day over the period of 3 months. Maybe five of them, for differet angles. Once we finally finish producing the video, I'm going to be super relieved when we can delete that enormous source footage. The kdenlive file itself would be fine to release; it's small. But would we then be forced to indefinitely save and distribute the source video footage, even if it's a combined 3 TB of 1,000 video files, for a 1 GB finally-rendered mp4?
# inkscape is easy; the svg literally *is* the source file
# gimp is somewhere in-between. I typically hang-onto the source images used to make a feature image (sometimes brands, or screenshots or stock copyleft images of forests or whatever) for some number of months. eventually they get deleted. I would love to upload the gimp files, but those might be broken without the source images. Or they just would be too enormous and break git over time.
# also, if we can't do it, we can't expect downstream to do it. imagine we work with some youtuber and demand that the must forever store and publish the sources in order to do a video with us? I think 99% would turn us down, because they know they can't do that. It's too expensive and unrealistic.
# due to this very real logistical problem, I think we should just keep CC BY-SA on media files. We can go above-and-beyond that license and provide kdenlive and gimp files *sometimes*, but we shouldn't mandate it by using GPL.
# and, honestly, if downstream just licenses CC BY-SA, that lets us cut that up and use it in future videos. That's good enough. And appropriate for the (expensive-to-store) medium.
# ...
# revisting the DEB5 system, I found an example on another project that I maintain: buskill https://salsa.debian.org/debian/buskill/-/blob/master/debian/copyright?ref_type=heads
## so our debian maintainer built this. he put a file 'copyright' in the root with this contents

# I spent some time trying to craft a 'copyright' file that we could use for Eco-Libre
## one thing that bothers me is that I have so many 'Files' stanzas – one for each programming language. I wish I could do something like
<pre>
Files:
 *.py|*.php|*.c
</pre>
## there are no examples where a single file stanza has many file paths, but the text of the standard does say they are whitespace-delimited (not pipe-delimited, like I naturally think)
<pre>
4. File syntax
...
4.2. Whitespace-separated lists

Field values defined as whitespace-separated lists may be on one line or many. Values in the list are separated by one or more whitespace characters (space, tab, or newline). For example, the Files field contains a whitespace-separated list of filename patterns.
...
6.9. Files

Whitespace-separated list: list of patterns indicating files covered by the license and copyright specified in this stanza.

Filename patterns in the Files field are specified using a simplified shell glob syntax. Patterns are separated by whitespace. 
</pre>
## let's see if I can find any example package that use this whitespace, so I don't fuck it up
## looks like debian has a *ton* of these already available on my system

 Creative Commons Corporation ("Creative Commons") is not a law firm and
 does not provide legal services or legal advice. Distribution of
 Creative Commons public licenses does not create a lawyer-client or
 other relationship. Creative Commons makes its licenses and related
 information available on an "as-is" basis. Creative Commons gives no

 terms and conditions, or any related information. Creative Commons

 .
 Using Creative Commons Public Licenses
 .
 Creative Commons public licenses provide a standard set of terms and
 conditions that creators and other rights holders may use to share
 original works of authorship and other material subject to copyright
 and certain other rights specified in the public license below. The
 following considerations are for informational purposes only, are not
 exhaustive, and do not form part of our licenses.
 .
	  Considerations for licensors: Our public licenses are
	  intended for use by those authorized to give the public
	  permission to use material in ways otherwise restricted by
	  copyright and certain other rights. Our licenses are
	  irrevocable. Licensors should read and understand the terms
	  and conditions of the license they choose before applying it.
	  Licensors should also secure all rights necessary before
	  applying our licenses so that the public can reuse the
	  material as expected. Licensors should clearly mark any
	  material not subject to the license. This includes other CC-
	  licensed material, or material used under an exception or
	  limitation to copyright. More considerations for licensors:
	  wiki.creativecommons.org/Considerations_for_licensors
 .
	  Considerations for the public: By using one of our public
	  licenses, a licensor grants the public permission to use the
	  licensed material under specified terms and conditions. If
	  the licensor's permission is not necessary for any reason--for
	  example, because of any applicable exception or limitation to
	  copyright--then that use is not regulated by the license. Our
	  licenses grant only permissions under copyright and certain

	  agreements.

 Section 2 -- Scope.
 .
   a. License grant.
 .
		1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License,
		   the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
		   non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to
		   exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
 .
			 a. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or
				in part; and
 .
			 b. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.
 .
		2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where
		   Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public
		   License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with
		   its terms and conditions.
 .
		3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section
		   6(a).
 .
		4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The
		   Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in
		   all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created,
		   and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The
		   Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or
		   authority to forbid You from making technical modifications
		   necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
		   technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective
		   Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License,
		   simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)
		   (4) never produces Adapted Material.
 .
		5. Downstream recipients.
 .
			 a. Offer from the Licensor -- Licensed Material. Every
				recipient of the Licensed Material automatically
				receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the
				Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this
				Public License.
 .
			 b. Additional offer from the Licensor -- Adapted Material.
				Every recipient of Adapted Material from You
				automatically receives an offer from the Licensor to
				exercise the Licensed Rights in the Adapted Material
				under the conditions of the Adapter's License You apply.
 .
			 c. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose
				any additional or different terms or conditions on, or
				apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the
				Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the
				Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
				Material.
 .
		6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
		   may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You
		   are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected
		   with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by,
		   the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as
		   provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
 .
   b. Other rights.
 .
		1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not
		   licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity,
		   privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to
		   the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to
		   assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited
		   extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed
		   Rights, but not otherwise.
 .
		2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this
		   Public License.
 .
		3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to
		   collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed
		   Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society
		   under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory
		   licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly
		   reserves any right to collect such royalties.
 .
 .
 Section 3 -- License Conditions.
 .
 Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the
 following conditions.
 .
   a. Attribution.
 .
		1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified
		   form), You must:
 .
			 a. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor
				with the Licensed Material:
 .
				  i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed
					 Material and any others designated to receive
					 attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by
					 the Licensor (including by pseudonym if
					 designated);
 .
				 ii. a copyright notice;
 .
				iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;
 .
				 iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of
					 warranties;
 .
				  v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the
					 extent reasonably practicable;
 .
			 b. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and
				retain an indication of any previous modifications; and
 .
			 c. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this
				Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or
				hyperlink to, this Public License.
 .
		2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any
		   reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in
		   which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be
		   reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or
		   hyperlink to a resource that includes the required
		   information.
 .
		3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the
		   information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent
		   reasonably practicable.
 .
   b. ShareAlike.
 .
	  In addition to the conditions in Section 3(a), if You Share
	  Adapted Material You produce, the following conditions also apply.
 .
		1. The Adapter's License You apply must be a Creative Commons
		   license with the same License Elements, this version or
		   later, or a BY-SA Compatible License.
 .
		2. You must include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the
		   Adapter's License You apply. You may satisfy this condition
		   in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and
		   context in which You Share Adapted Material.
 .
		3. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms
		   or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological
		   Measures to, Adapted Material that restrict exercise of the
		   rights granted under the Adapter's License You apply.
 .
 .
 Section 4 -- Sui Generis Database Rights.
 .
 Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that
 apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:
 .
   a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right
	  to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial
	  portion of the contents of the database;
 .
   b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database
	  contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database
	  Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database
	  Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material,
 .
	  including for purposes of Section 3(b); and
   c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share
	  all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
 .
 For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not
 replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed
 Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
 .
 .
 Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
 .
   a. UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE
	  EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS
	  AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF
	  ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS,
	  IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
	  WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
	  PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
	  ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
	  KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE. WHERE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES ARE NOT
	  ALLOWED IN FULL OR IN PART, THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
 .
   b. TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE
	  TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
	  NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
	  INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER LOSSES,
	  COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS PUBLIC LICENSE OR
	  USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIAL, EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN
	  ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR
	  DAMAGES. WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FULL OR
	  IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
 .
   c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided
	  above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent
	  possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and
	  waiver of all liability.
 .
 .
 Section 6 -- Term and Termination.
 .
   a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and
	  Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with
	  this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License
	  terminate automatically.
 .
   b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under
	  Section 6(a), it reinstates:
 .
		1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided
		   it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the
		   violation; or
 .
		2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
 .
	  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any
	  right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations
	  of this Public License.
 .
   c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the
	  Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop
	  distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so
	  will not terminate this Public License.
 .
   d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public
	  License.
 .
 .
 Section 7 -- Other Terms and Conditions.
 .
   a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different
	  terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.
 .
   b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the
	  Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and
	  independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License.
 .
 .
 Section 8 -- Interpretation.
 .
   a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and
	  shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose
	  conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully
	  be made without permission under this Public License.
 .
   b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is
	  deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the
	  minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
	  cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License
	  without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and
	  conditions.
 .
   c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no
	  failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the
	  Licensor.
 .
   d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted
	  as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities
	  that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal
	  processes of any jurisdiction or authority.

## that's a big annoying, but I guess we can live with it
## they also apparently put a dot (.) on every double-newline in a single indented stanza. I guess that's to not break the syntax of "two newlines becomes a new stanaza". So I'll adopt that for the CERN License snippet.
## I grepd all the "Files" lines in all the systems, and generated a reasonably complete list of all programming language source files

autohotkey
automake

## fun fact, autohotkey was the first "language" I learned – which I used to script my windows computer to feed my fish and collect their pooped-out gold in some video game, wayy back when I was  kid & before I used Linux. It's a cool way to automate GUI macros on Windows (which is otherwise a PIA to automate, by (terrible) design.

## let's also add exceptions for the CERN-licensed files
## I hope we never use tools like AutoCAD, but it's likely that someone will design something in AutoCAD and copyleft it. Then we'll be able to use that in one of our projects, but where we redesign it in FreeCAD. In that case, we still might want to include the source AutoCAD DXF file in our repo, and license it properly (though, if that happens, we'd probably need to update the copyright file to whatever license they use; unless they happen to use the same CERN strong license as us)
## I added scad. And .vue was one from vim.
## bibliocad lists wg, bim, skp, max, and 3ds https://www.bibliocad.com/
## I logged into the OSE wiki and checked all of the files that have been uploaded, and I added a few more: 3dm, fcmacro, ino, fzz, gto, blend, kicad_pcb, sh3d, pod, brd, sch, abp, dwb, cc, skb, sldrw, sldasm, pde
## note that I've *not* put stp, gcode, stl, igs, wrl, wrz, etc files as CERN licensed (so they'd be CC). I'm not sure if that's the right thing or not.
### also dia, gan, mpp, mm, svg, jpg, png, jpeg, tiff, bmp, ai, idml, psd, mp4, mp3, webm, wav, kdenlive, xcf, doc, docx, ppt, pptx, xls, odt, ods, odg, numbers, tex, zip, rar, 7z, tar.gz, torrent, etc..
### there was also some ini config files. I read you can't license config files. so those will be CC.

 Using Creative Commons Public Licenses
 .
 Creative Commons public licenses provide a standard set of terms and
 conditions that creators and other rights holders may use to share
 original works of authorship and other material subject to copyright

	  and conditions of the license they choose before applying it.
	  Licensors should also secure all rights necessary before
	  applying our licenses so that the public can reuse the

 Section 2 -- Scope.
 .
   a. License grant.
 .
		1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License,
		   the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
		   non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to
		   exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
 .
			 a. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or
				in part; and
 .
			 b. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.
 .
		2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where
		   Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public

		   6(a).
 .
		4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The
		   Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in

		   Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or
		   authority to forbid You from making technical modifications
		   necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
		   technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective
		   Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License,
		   simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)
		   (4) never produces Adapted Material.
 .
		5. Downstream recipients.
 .
			 a. Offer from the Licensor -- Licensed Material. Every
				recipient of the Licensed Material automatically
				receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the
				Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this
				Public License.
 .
			 b. Additional offer from the Licensor -- Adapted Material.
				Every recipient of Adapted Material from You
				automatically receives an offer from the Licensor to
				exercise the Licensed Rights in the Adapted Material
				under the conditions of the Adapter's License You apply.
 .
			 c. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose
				any additional or different terms or conditions on, or
				apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the
				Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the
				Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
				Material.
 .
		6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
		   may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You
		   are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected
		   with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by,
		   the Licensor or others designated to receiv

# I've been thinking about chaning our licensing, to something like this
## All hardware designs are licened under CERN-OHL-S-2.0 
## All code is licened under AGPL-3.0
## Everything else (art, documentation, etc) are CC BY-SA
# here's the design rational for the cern license (the s means strongly reciprocal, which is what we want) https://gitlab.com/ohwr/project/cernohl/-/wikis/uploads/0be6f561d2b4a686c5765c74be32daf9/CERN_OHL_rationale.pdf
# apparently creative commons license aren't OSI approved — only because they don't work for sourcecode https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/5021/osi-approved-license-similar-to-cc-by-sa-4-0
## by CC BY-SA (without NC or ND) are recommended by OSHWA for things like art and docs https://oshwa.org/resources/sharing-best-practices/
## hah, the footer of the OSI website (opensource.org) says that the contents of the website are licened CC BY – even though it's not OSI approved. That's a good enough endorsement for me
# oh, I found a CERN Discourse forum https://forums.ohwr.org/c/cernohl/53
## I never did get a response from OSHWA from my toot about their recommended CLAs https://chaos.social/@ecolibre/116444933464052302
## da fuk. the "register" button redirects to gitlab?
### ugh, it's some SSO OAuth (OpenID Connect). I don't trust that
<pre>
OHWR Forum is requesting access to your account on GitLab.com.
 Make sure you trust OHWR Forum before authorizing.

Vasco Guita added this OAuth application over 1 year ago. You will be redirected to forums.ohwr.org after authorizing.
</pre>
### I decllined it, and chose to create a new github account that's specific to these oshwa forums, and nothing else
## ok I asked about the triple-licensing here https://forums.ohwr.org/t/possible-to-triple-license-cern-ohl-s-2-0-agpl-3-0-cc-by-sa/849882
## ugh, the license of the licnese itself is CC BY-ND 4.0 :( https://gitlab.com/ohwr/project/cernohl/-/wikis/faq#q-i-am-using-one-of-variants-of-cern-ohl-v2-what-is-the-licence-of-the-licence-text-itself
### I have no intention to change it, but it would be nice if we had the abilty to add, idk, footnotes or page numbers or any trivial change if we needed
# hmm...the faq on the cern license say that it's *not* compatible with GPL https://gitlab.com/ohwr/project/cernohl/-/wikis/faq#q-is-cern-ohl-s-compatible-with-gpl
<pre>
Q: Is CERN-OHL-S compatible with GPL?
A: No...
</pre>
## so we can't just license everything under both, I guess. But we might be able to specify that the hardware designs are CERN and any software is GPL, still
# here's a good example usage; they have the full license in LICENSE file, but they also have a "License Notice" section of their README.mde with the following https://github.com/Foundation-Devices/passport-electronics

As per CERN-OHL-S v2 section 4, should You produce hardware based on this source, You must where practicable and applicable maintain the Source Location visible (1) on the packaging of the hardware, (2) on the circuit board(s) via silkscreen or copper, (3) in any documentation, and (4) on other products you make using this source.
</pre>
## I especially like the "Source location" part. We can use https://eco-libre.org/p (which is our "projects" page, indended to have one page per project – each with a *very* short summary, link to the *real* docs (currently on github, but that may change to codeberg – which is why we have this simple project page on our own infra), and a list of articles that are tagged with the project's name.
### currently we only have one example for life-line https://www.eco-libre.org/p/life-line/ – but, again, we'd want to just link to eco-libre.org/p/ so we can have a boilerplate copy-pasta for all repo's README.md files
# there's a 6-page guide on how to use the CERN license here https://gitlab.com/ohwr/project/cernohl/-/wikis/uploads/cf37727497ca2b5295a7ab83a40fcf5a/cern_ohl_s_v2_user_guide.pdf
## cool, they do recommend using git. something I advocated-for (and never really got traction-on) at OSE
## interesting, they recommend we create a CHANGES file, because the license requires downstream modifications to be clearly documented. And by creating a blank file, it's where they should write their downstream changes.
## oh wow, they specifically mention FCStd files. So the writers of this license had FreeCAD in mind. Cool!
## they reference SPDX standard by resue.software https://reuse.software/tutorial/
### apparently this is a standardized way to indicate licenses of files that are machine-readable. Because, of course there is a standard for that.
### interesting, they advocate for a folder LICENSES instead of a file LICENSE. that would be better for us, if we're using three.
### ok, apparently SPDX is a distinct product from the Linux Foundation https://spdx.org/
### they say all of these are valid ways to declare copyright; I like it

#### I especially like line 4. I think I'd use that. So it would be my name, all contributors, and a link to the Attribution section of the docs
### they also clarify that the copyright line can omit the year or include a range, the current year, or the original year. I always thought the first year that we did a single commit was best, and they had a link to an article that argues this too. I like that. https://matija.suklje.name/how-and-why-to-properly-write-copyright-statements-in-your-code
### they have a section on license compatiblity https://reuse.software/faq/#license-compatibility
#### apparently GPL isn't compatible with lots of license, because it says you can't add restrictions to it. that would make it incompatible with CC NC licenses, for example.
### god, both CERN and reuse.software want us to add comments or a cooresponding '<file>.license' file to *every* file to indicate its license. I was hoping instead that we could just put text that says "hardware files are CERN and software is GPL" but idk if that'll work :/
#### they have an "eaiser" method of defining a REUSE.toml file – but that's per-dir. So I'd have to put all software in one dir and all CAD files in another dir. I guess that would work, but eventually someone will probably break it due to human error and volunteer chaos https://reuse.software/faq/#license-compatibility
## the faq had said they were going to apply to the FSF, but fsf.org has no mention of the CERN OHL
### this thread goes into some detail on why they "gave up" on GPL compatibility https://forums.ohwr.org/t/concerns-on-the-impact-of-ohl-on-gpl-community/848400
#### also some good history on the OHL from Javier Serrano at CERN. He said he gave a presentation on why using GPL was good for hardware, but after the Q&A he realized it wasn't. That was in 2015 at ORConf.
#### that thread linked to another cool open hardware forum. GOSH! https://forum.openhardware.science/
### here's the thread where CERN applied for OHL to be covered by OSI (which it got) https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2020-June/004892.html
## back to the usage guide on CERN OHL, they also mention Debian's DEP5. DEP5 used to be supported by reuse.software, but it was deprecated
### DEP-5 is another machine-readable copyright/license standard, currently documented here https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
#### man, I don't know which I like better: human-readable legaleze (well, readable only to a subset of superhumans) or machine-readable complexity
#### they use machine-readable license shortcodes, which are defined by spdx here https://spdx.org/licenses/
#### so we want
##### CERN-OHL-S-2.0
##### AGPL-3.0-or-later
##### CC-BY-SA-4.0
#### curiously, only two of the CC licenses are marked as "FSF libre" = CC-BY-4.0 and CC-BY-SA-4.0. None are "OSI Approved" (but see above because OSI uses them for docs!)
#### hah, cern is the opposite. their 2.0 OHLs are "OSI approved" but not "FSF libre"
#### the AGPL-3.0-or-later (or -only) is both "OSI approved" *and* "FSF libre" huh
### anyway, the DEP5 has a similar system to define regex-like globs of files under different licenses
### the end of the spec includes a "complex" example

### I was wondering if I could match all files of a given type at any depth, and it looks like this is accounted-for
<pre>
Patterns match pathnames that start at the root of the source tree. Thus, “Makefile.in” matches only the file at the root of the tree, but “*/Makefile.in” matches at any depth.
</pre>
### oh, it also says globs include slashes
<pre>
Only the wildcards * and ? apply; the former matches any number of characters (including none), the latter a single character. Both match slashes (/) and leading dots, unlike shell globs. The pattern *.in therefore matches any file whose name ends in .in anywhere in the source tree, not just at the top level.
</pre>
### so I could do something like

### but then it's not clear which overrrides the others
### oh, it says the last one that matches applies. So I did that perfect
<pre>
Multiple Files stanzas are allowed. The last stanza that matches a particular file applies to it. More general stanzas should therefore be given first, followed by more specific overrides.
</pre>
### honestly, that seems like the perfect happy-medium. It's less to maintain (or for maintainers to screw-up) than .license files everywhere (per REUSE). so it's more long-term durable. I just need to think of all possible file extensions for code that we'll use (it'll be more than just .py files, I'm sure) and hardware files (stl would be CC, so that's caught by the first one but OpenSCAD could foreseably be one)
### hmm...I wonder how kdenlive files should be licensed. It's used to make media, but not the media itself.
### I asked my question on Stack Exchange too https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/15745/possible-to-triple-license-cern-ohl-s-2-0-agpl-3-0-cc-by-sa
### I also asked about kdenlive files here https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/15746/best-libre-license-for-kdenlive-files
## back to the usage guide of the CERN OHL. they do say you should use the SPDX headers, but that's REUSE – not DEP5
## they also recommend adding a "+" for "-or-later"
<pre>
CERN-OHL-S-2.0+
</pre>
## but I guess I have to place trust in FSF and/or CERN that they won't become evil and fuck-up future licenses to be not-libre. hmm. imagine if they got bought-out by John Deere.. Yeah, it's probably better to pin to the current version, and just do the copyright transfer in the CLA. Then we can control the license, and change it if we ever discover some new tech that necessitates changes to a new license
## for the copyright, they suggest "and others" – that might be better than just "and contributors to Eco-Libre"
<pre>
Suggestion: You can optionally include a copyright notice to be printed
on the Product (remember you must keep intact any Notices in the source,
though). If you do, and your design includes part of other designs, you
should at least acknowledge the work is not all your own by using e.g.
Copyright c 2020 Sam Smith and others. In any case, do not include the
CERN logo.
</pre>
# well we'll see if I got any answers on the forums
# in the meantime, I want to finish my CLA agreements
# yesterday I made a very slick looking libreoffice document with the individual CLA, but I realized today that it would be better if I could store it in reST and generate the PDF using sphinx or pandoc
## so, yeah, it would absolutely be better, but I really think I'm letting perfect be the enemy of the good here. I'm already spending weeks just to finish the ConfirmAccount extension on the wiki – just because I didn't have a Terms of Service, which sent me down this rabbit hole.
## I'm going to make the reST -> PDF part a TODO. The libreoffice file is currently 64 KB and the PDF is 95 KB. I'll probably have maybe 4-10x that, as I add a corporate CLA and also some other less-important agreements for volunteers (I agree not to use AI. I agree to follow the CoC. Etc)
## oh wtf. I finished making the libreoffice for the corporate version of the contract (it's called "entity") but the only difference in the file's contents is literally the subtitle
<pre>
Individual Contributor Exclusive License Agreement
</pre>
<pre>
Entity Contributor Exclusive License Agreement
</pre>
## I also diff'd the html version, just in-case it was a bug. same thing
<pre>
<h2 id="tmp-subtitle"><span id="tmp-contributor-type">Individual</span> Contributor <span id="tmp-contributor-exclusivity-1" class="tmp-contributor-exclusivity-1">Exclusive</span> License Agreement</h2>

<pre><h2 id="tmp-subtitle"><span id="tmp-contributor-type">Entity</span> Contributor <span id="tmp-contributor-exclusivity-1" class="tmp-contributor-exclusivity-1">Exclusive</span> License Agreement</h2>
</pre>
## maybe there would be differences if I chose a different patent option?
# idk, but I guess I only need one doc...
# TODO: finish the CLA docs in LibreOffice, put them on github somewhere, then do the other volunteer agreements, and then sign them myself

	Fiduciary License Agreement 2.0
	based on the
	Individual Contributor Exclusive License Agreement
	(including the Traditional Patent License OPTION)

	Thank you for your interest in contributing to Eco-Libre's ____________________ ("We" or "Us").

	The purpose of this contributor agreement ("Agreement") is to clarify and document the rights granted by contributors to Us. To make this document effective, please follow the instructions at ____________________.
	Preamble

	Software is deeply embedded in all aspects of our lives and it is important that it empower, rather than restrict us. Free Software gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt and share software. These rights help support other fundamental freedoms like freedom of speech, press and privacy.

	Development of Free Software can follow many patterns. In some cases whole development is handled by a sole programmer or a small group of people. But usually, the creation and maintenance of software is a complex process that requires the contribution of many individuals. This also affects who owns the rights to the software. In the latter case, rights in software are owned jointly by a great number of individuals.

	To tackle this issue some projects require a full copyright assignment to be signed by all contributors. The problem with such assignments is that they often lack checks and balances that would protect the contributors from potential abuse of power from the new copyright holder.

	FSFE’s Fiduciary License Agreement (FLA) was created by the Free Software Foundation Europe e.V. with just that in mind – to concentrate all deciding power within one entity and prevent fragmentation of rights on one hand, while on the other preventing that single entity from abusing its power. The main aim is to ensure that the software covered under the FLA will forever remain Free Software.

	This process only serves for the transfer of economic rights. So-called moral rights (e.g. authors right to be identified as author) remain with the original author(s) and are inalienable.
	How to use this FLA

	If You are an employee and have created the Contribution as part of your employment, You need to have Your employer approve this Agreement. If You do not own the Copyright in Your Contribution, any other author of the Contribution should also sign this. In any event, please contact Us at https://www.eco-libre.org/contact.
	Definitions

	"You" means the individual Copyright owner who Submits a Contribution to Us; or

	if the Copyright in the Contribution is held by a Legal Entity and the Contribution is being Submitted to Us on behalf of such Legal Entity, "You" means such Legal Entity.

	"Contribution" means any original work of authorship, including any original modifications or additions to an existing work of authorship, Submitted for inclusion into Material by You to Us, in which you own the Copyright.

	"Copyright" means all rights protecting works of authorship, including copyright, moral and neighboring rights, as appropriate, for the full term of their existence.

	"Material" means the software and/or documentation of ____________________ that we make available to third parties.

	"Submit" means any act by which a Contribution is transferred to Us by You by means of tangible or intangible media, including but not limited to electronic mailing lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems, but excluding any transfer that is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by You as "Not a Contribution."

	"Documentation" means any non-software portion of a Contribution.
	License grant
	Copyright license to Us

	Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to Us a worldwide, royalty-free, exclusive, perpetual and irrevocable (except as stated in Section "Term") license, with the right to transfer an unlimited number of non-exclusive licenses or to grant sublicenses to third parties, under the Copyright covering the Contribution to use the Contribution by all means, including, but not limited to:
		publish the Contribution,
		modify the Contribution,
		prepare derivative works based upon or containing the Contribution and/or to combine the Contribution with other Materials,
		reproduce the Contribution in original or modified form,
		distribute, to make the Contribution available to the public, display and publicly perform the Contribution in original or modified form.
	Moral rights

	Moral Rights remain unaffected to the extent they are recognized and not waivable by applicable law. Notwithstanding, You may add your name to the attribution mechanism customary used in the Materials you Contribute to, such as the header of the source code files of Your Contribution, and We will respect this attribution when using Your Contribution.
	Copyright license back to You

	Upon such grant of rights to Us, We immediately grant to You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual and irrevocable license, with the right to transfer an unlimited number of non-exclusive licenses or to grant sublicenses to third parties, under the Copyright covering the Contribution to use the Contribution by all means, including, but not limited to:
		publish the Contribution,
		modify the Contribution,
		prepare derivative works based upon or containing the Contribution and/or to combine the Contribution with other Materials,
		reproduce the Contribution in original or modified form,
		distribute, to make the Contribution available to the public, display and publicly perform the Contribution in original or modified form.

	Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement You hereby grant to Us and to recipients of Materials distributed by Us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual and irrevocable (except as stated in Subsection "Revocation of patent license") patent license, with the right to transfer an unlimited number of non-exclusive licenses or to grant sublicenses to third parties, to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution and the Contribution in combination with any Material (and portions of such combination). This license applies to all patents owned or controlled by You, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by making, having made, using, selling, offering for sale, importing or otherwise transferring of Your Contribution(s) alone or by combination of Your Contribution(s) with any Material.
	Revocation of patent license

	You reserve the right to revoke the patent license stated in Subsection "Patent license" if We make any infringement claim that is targeted at your Contribution and not asserted for a Defensive Purpose. An assertion of claims of the Patents shall be considered for a "Defensive Purpose" if the claims are asserted against an entity that has filed, maintained, threatened, or voluntarily participated in a patent infringement lawsuit against Us or any of Our licensees.
	License obligations by Us

	We may, but are under no obligation to, include the Contribution You Submitted to Us into the Material.

	We agree to (sub)license the Contribution or any Materials containing, based on or derived from your Contribution under the terms of any licenses that qualify as [Free Software](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) as defined by the Free Software Foundation and at the same time qualify as [Open Source](https://opensource.org/osd) as defined by the Open Source Initiative. For clarification, should we make available any Material under a non-free or non-open license, we must make a version of such Material available under a free and open license too.

	More specifically and in strict accordance with the above paragraph, we agree to (sub)license the Contribution or any Materials containing, based on or derived from the Contribution only under the terms of the following license(s) GPL-3.0, MIT (including any right to adopt any future version of a license if permitted), whereby any non-free or non-open licenses need to be listed as well.

	We agree to license patents owned or controlled by You only to the extent necessary to (sub)license Your Contribution(s) and the combination of Your Contribution(s) with the Material under the terms of any licenses the Free Software Foundation classifies as Free Software licenses and which are approved by the Open Source Initiative as Open Source licenses..
	Disclaimer
	**We acknowledge that you provide the Contribution "as is".** **More particularly, You disclaim all express or implied warranties including, without limitation, any implied warranty of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. To the extent that any such warranties cannot be disclaimed, such warranty is limited in duration and extent to the minimum period and extent permitted by law.**
	Consequential damage waiver

	**To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will You or We be liable for any loss of profits, loss of anticipated savings, loss of data, indirect, special, incidental, consequential and exemplary damages arising out of this Agreement regardless of the legal or equitable theory (contract, tort or otherwise) upon which the claim is based.**
	Approximation of disclaimer and damage waiver

	**If the disclaimer and damage waiver mentioned in Subsection "Disclaimer of warranty" and Section "Consequential damage waiver" cannot be given legal effect under applicable local law, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil or contractual liability in connection with the Contribution.**
	Term

	This Agreement shall come into effect upon Your acceptance of the terms and conditions.

	This Agreement shall apply for the term of the copyright and patents licensed here. However, You shall have the right to terminate the Agreement if We do not fulfill the obligations as set forth in Section "License obligations by Us". Such termination must be made in writing.

	In the event of a termination of this Agreement Sections "Disclaimer", "Term" and "Miscellaneous" shall survive such termination and shall remain in full force thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, Free and Open Source Software (sub)licenses that have already been granted for Contributions at the date of the termination shall remain in full force after the termination of this Agreement.
	Miscellaneous

	This Agreement and all disputes, claims, actions, suits or other proceedings arising out of this agreement or relating in any way to it shall be governed by the laws of Ecuador excluding its private international law provisions.

	This Agreement sets out the entire agreement between You and Us for Your Contributions to Us and overrides all other agreements or understandings.

	In case of Your death, this agreement shall continue with Your heirs. In case of more than one heir, all heirs must exercise their rights through a commonly authorized person.

	If any provision of this Agreement is found void and unenforceable, such provision will be replaced to the extent possible with a provision that comes closest to the meaning of the original provision and that is enforceable. The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of this Agreement or any limited remedy to the maximum extent possible under law.

	You agree to notify Us of any facts or circumstances of which you become aware that would make Your representations under this Agreement inaccurate in any respect.

# well, I'm still not sure what to use. In the meantime, I went ahead and updated the wiki ToS to include an unaltered version of the Linux Foundation's DCO https://wiki.eco-libre.org/wiki/Eco-Libre:Terms_of_Service
## I also added a section on the license, because the DCO (which I can't edit) referes to "the open source license indicated in the file"
## alright, that's a placeholder. I'll wait to see if we get a response from the home automation folks and/or the OSHWA.
# oh, TIL that OSE *does* use CERN OHL-S-2.0 for hardware files https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSE_License_for_Distributive_Economics
## but their wiki is a mess. it says dual-licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License and CC BY-SA on this page https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Media-wiki:Copyright
## while this page says just CC BY-SA for wiki and design files, CERN OHL-S-2.0 for hardware files, and GPL v3 for code https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSE_License_for_Distributive_Economics
## there's a section on CAs, which just says that we need a paper with NAME OF PERSON and SPECIFIED DATE https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSE_License_for_Distributive_Economics
## looks like they started working on a "distributed enterprise license" – but I can't find anything but a sketch outline
### https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSE_License_for_Distributive_Enterprise

## ah ha! apparently Marcin's legal advisor volunteer person suggested https://contributoragreements.org per https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Contributor_Agreement
# alright, I think I'll do one of the contributoragreements.org developed above. I'll draft it into a nice-looking odt -> pdf and upload it to opensign. then we'll be ready to accept volunteer contributions to our repos & wiki, like, very legally sound

## I, maybe the 3rd or 4th time, told them that tutanota deleted our email address.

## So, fuck X. This is why we shouldn't use corporate, non-federated social media.
## oh, and I was also unable to log into reddit. Similar issue. I get this, just for a GET on /login – before they even asked me for creds!

# again, this is why we use better non-corportate social media. Now on lemmy!

# woah, mastodon has a new link under the post that says "More from Eco-Libre Team" which links here https://mastodon.social/@eco-libre@www.eco-libre.org
## that's, uhh, our wordpress site's ActivityPub plugins' actor! The one that I couldn't finish setting-up due to the 5xx error (see previous log entries)
## so i guess it's working under defaults
## as I found before, it doesn't show previous content until after you subscribe, so the page on mastodon doesn't even show today's post :(
## I'm thinking the best way to use this is to not really advertise wordpress as an endpoint. But, rather, to just setup our other federated-service-x-native account to subscribe and auto-boost our wordpress posts. That way we don't even have to login to mastodon or lemmy or whatever else. We can just automate the distribution from wordpress via ActivityPub to all our other federated social media accounts.
## anyway, I subscribed to @eco-libre@www.eco-libre.org from my personal mastodon account and our eco-libre mastodon account. let's see what that looks like over time.
# I logged-into our raft (private) discourse to ask if they have a mastodon account https://raft.talk/t/following-raft-on-the-fediverse/45/1
## I also followd-up with a thread in which I asked about a vector logo. Nathan (founder) said they don't have one, so I spent about an hour generating a few different decent-looking vectors from the png using inkscape's Trace Bitmap tool, and shared it – so others can have it in the future https://raft.talk/t/raft-logo-vector-svg/31/3
## I also realized that I had started (but not finished) asking the community for advice on how to get volunteers from "volutneer social year" programs like the Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr in Germany or the European Solidarity Corps or the US Peace Corps. So I finished that https://raft.talk/t/getting-state-sponsored-volunteers-voluntary-social-year/46
<pre>
Does anyone have experience here in getting volunteers via State-sponsored programs, like the US Peace Core, Germany's Voluntary Social Year (Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr), or the EU Solidarity Corps?

 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_social_year
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Solidarity_Corps

I've met a *lot* of Germans (and one person from Liechtenstein!) who took their [gap year](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gap_year) off to go abroad and help some cool non-profit.

Our project's mission is to develop and document [open-source appropriate technology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_appropriate_technology) to enfranchise sustainable communities' human rights. And we need volunteers!

I'm wondering if anyone else here has experience satisfying the requirements of such orgs, so that we can get listed in their "directory of cool nonprofits abroad" that their want-to-be-volunteers will see (and can apply-to).

I imagine that one key requirement is met by us being able to provide Raft's IRS Determination Letter. What else do we need to do? Where do we apply?

Can anyone with experience provide tips (or a link to a guide?) on how to get volunteers abroad doing a "voluntary social year"?
</pre>
# ...
# back to Terms of Use, which is where we left-off on the wiki's config of ConfirmAccount extension
## honestly, we probably should write a ToS for all volunteers, which extends beyond just the wiki
## I have already drafted (not yet published) some agreements for volunteers, but we haven't had any in-person volunteers that required us to use it
## so, I guess, we need distinct agreements for people who volunteer remotely vs volunteer in-person
## in any case, even in-person volunteers are going to start remotely >99% of the time, so we should probably figure out some system for them to "sign a document" such that a copy gets sent to them and stored with us
## the first thing that comes to the top of my head is copyleft. We need folks to agree that all of their contributions to Eco-Libre will be copyleft under dual license of CC BY-SA and GNU GPL.
## can I find some libre service that's like docusign for this? https://alternativeto.net/software/docusign/

#### + self-hostable https://github.com/LibreSign/libresign

#### + github says it's a nextcloud app
## well, of thse, I think OpenSign or DDocumenso are the best options. my biggest concern is: can we export everything from the site, if they ever eliminate their free plan (or we outgrow them)?
## let's create accounts with both and get a feel for it
### well, shit, the signup page for documenso included their "sign here" digital field. It was so shitty, it nearly crashed my browser. so let's try open sign instead.
## ugh, OpenSign requires a phone number on sign-up
### ugh, password policy is dumb. it rejected a >50 char password because it requires a special symbol. makes me question their security. fortunately, these documents would need to be public, anyway.
### it accepted a bullshit phone number. good
### I immediately went to settings
#### I changed the document download filename format to include the date. It always bothers me when documents aren't dated in the filename..
#### I changed the date format to YYYY-MM-DD – iso format, sortable, and no ambiguity
#### In the setting's "widgets" tab, I also set the date to YYYY-MM-DD
#### In the settings' "security" tab, I setup TOTP 2FA
### I went to my "profile"
#### It said my email wasn't verified. I never got an email *to* verify. I clicked the "Verify" button
##### gross. it sent an email with an OTP. the email had text/plain, but the only contents was "otp email". I had to dig through some html to find the code.
# I clicked around in OpenSign. I expected there would be some place where I could type a document, but it only allows me to upload a pdf, jpg, png, jpeg, or docx. whey not OpenOffice (LibreOffice)? Hmm.
# not sure how this translates into being able to add input fields.
# using libreoffice, I created a test document with the contents
<pre>
I agree not to act like an evil corporation.
</pre>
# I exported it as a pdf, and uploaded it as a new "template" to opensign
## there's a lot of settings you can make
### you can change it so that everyone can sign at once, or (the default) has the intended party sign, then I sign. But I'm not sure if I will *want* Eco-Libre to sign these documents at all?
### you can set the number of days that the person has to sign. it defaults to 15.
### you can add a bcc
### you can make the "certification pdf" merged into the signed document. well, apparently only if you pay for an upgrade. whatever.
### ah man, there's a cool feature that requries an OTP from the email address, but it requires upgrade
### you can specify a "redirect url" which is blank by default. I guess that's where they get sent after signing. That's cool. I could have it redirect to a "thank you; here's the next steps" doc. I set it to 'https://eco-libre.github.io/volunteer-test/'
#### I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't have made a repo named 'volunteer-test' but instead made one named 'volunteer-onboarding' in-which the volunteer test was only one section. hmm.
### the only other thing I could change was the pen ink colors. here in Ecuador, everything should be blue. so I disabled black and red.
## ok, after I click "next" I can decorate the page with a bunch of widgets. note that I cannot edit the text
### you can add a "role" for someone to sign. I just want one = the volunteer. So I added one named "Volunteer"
### I clicked the "Signature" widget, and a blue box popped-up on the bottom of the page
#### I hovered over it with my mouse, and a "gear" "person" "copy" and "trash" icons appeared.
#### I clicked the gear, and it let me choose the type of signatures accepted (draw, typed, upload, or default), and a "hint"
#### I clicked the "person" and it let me choose someone from contacts. I'm creating a template, so that doesn't make sense (unless we had, like, *me* signing every document – which I don't think we'll do). So I left that empty
### there's a "text input widget", which I guess is how I would let someone enter their name. I can make it optional, required, or read-only (relavant for the other "default value" option). I can change the font size and font color. So, I guess, the idea is that I would have left a blank space in the pdf, and later decorated it with this widget. I'll do that for the next test.
### there's a "image" widget – as in, the user can upload an image (I guess useful for profile photos)
### there's also widgets for stamp, initials, number, name, job title, company, email, date, cells, checkbox, dropdown, and radio button
### I dropped the "name" widget randomly near the top. So now I have two: name & signature.
### I saved the template
### I went back and edited it. I realized there's an option "prefiil by owner" vs "volunteer". apparently I can add the name and stuff before I send it out. I left it at "volunteer"
## there was an option to make the template public, but I don't have a public profile. I went to edit my profile, but the box for entering my username for the public profile is grey-out. Unlike other places, it doesn't say "upgrade now" so idk wtf is going on
### after making it public, it gave me some js to embed the document. oh, so this is so that I can embed the docs on my own site. well, that's kinda cool. but I really don't want to embed a third party javascript.
## anyway, back to "manage templates"
### I tried to edit the template again, but it gave me an error
<pre>
You cannot edit a public template directly. To make changes, the template will be set to private, and you'll need to make it public again afterward. Do you want to continue?
</pre>
### so I unchecked "public" and edited it
### I added a "date" widget. I set it to "signing date" and "read only" and "required" and placed it just above the signature
## I went back to "manage templates" and clicked the "+ use" button.
### it gave me a drop down menu of our contacts, but it's empty. so I pressed the red "+" button to add a new contact
### I added a contact named "Michael Altfield" and my email address. then I selected this contact and clicked "next"
### It asked " Are you sure you want to send out this document for signatures?" and I clicked "Send"
### I immediately got an email. Again, the shitty email plaintext contetns was just "mail" and I had to read-through the html to find a encoding-broken link :/
#### I created a bug report for them to fix the `text/plain` content type of emails here https://github.com/OpenSignLabs/OpenSign/issues/2156
### using some mutt scripting fuckery, I'm able to extract the URLs. But I can't figure out which one is to go to the document. Two of the four are both to "click.opensignlabs.com. the first one appears to go to a login page, and the second one doesn't. I tried the second one
#### wtf, that link brought me to a single dark page with a single dead pixel in the center of the screen.
### ok, looks like the first link (with the login that I was trying to avoid) is a button that says "sign here"
### ohhh, and the other one is an image. I guess it's a tracking pixel. that explains it.
### back in my admin dashboard, under Documents -> In-Progress, I can see Michael Altfield has "Yet to sign"
### If I click on "sent" then there's a section "viewed on" and "signed on" that are both "-" – so I guess that tracking pixel didn't really work, huh..
### fine, I went to the first link
#### oh, awesome, it didn't make me login! It redirected me to the document. perfect! It popped-up a modal that said
<pre>
I confirm that I have read and understood the Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure and consent to use electronic records and signatures.
Note: Agreeing to this does not mean you are signing the document immediately. This only allows you to review the document electronically. You will have the opportunity to read it in full and decide whether to sign it afterward.
</pre>
### I clicked "I confirm & agree to continue"
### it did the whole modal popup "guide" thing, which was an option I could have disabled. basically it said to type my name (which was, cool, auto-completed to "Michael Altfield"), listed the signers (just me), and then highlighted the widgets at the bottom (date and sig), then told me how to zoom-in, then highlighted the "you're done" buttons = "decline" "download" or "finish"
### it let me change my name, but I should probably make that read-only now that I know it auto-completes with the name from the contacts
### it wouldn't let me change the date, which it autocompletd to today
### it did let me click on the signature widget, which opened a modal with a box where I could draw my nanme. I did that. It was fast, wayy better than Documenso – no issues here with the browser crashing
### alternatively, I could click "type" and it displayed my name in some cursive fonts, which I could choose-from. and there was an option to upload image.
### I chose draw and did my signature and clicked next. very fast.
### it asked if I'm sure I want to finish the doc. I clicked "Review"
### then I clicked the "finish" button at the top
### it said this
<pre>
Document signed
Congratulations! 🎉 This document has been successfully signed by all participants!
</pre>
### and there was a countdown to redirect. in 3 seconds, the browser redirected to here. perfect! https://eco-libre.github.io/volunteer-test/en/main/
### back in the opensign admin dashboard, the row is absent from "Documents -> in progress". I found it in "documents -> completed"
### I clicked the "eye" next to the document, and it showed me the document, including the signature that I left in the other browser. I can also click "print" or "certifiacte" or "download"
#### "print" does what you'd expect. I can print or use the browser's "save to pdf" of the document, which includes the signature
#### "certifiacte" opens some legal-looking pdf (something similar to docusign) with a some metadata, including a sah256 hash, ip address of both document issuer (me) and the signer (also me, but different IP because Tor). And it includes an image of the drawn signature.
#### "download" then lets me choose if i want the download pdf or downlaod pdf + certifiate. I chose both.
##### lol that failed. the browser didn't let me download both
<pre>
Something went wrong, refreshing this page may solve this issue
</pre>
#### I tried just "downlaod pdf"
##### that gave me the document, plus the signature and other "widgets" filled-out, plus the following in the top-left
<pre>
OpenSign™ DocumentId: pS5lEdCyIp
</pre>
##### I guess that's something like their observatory. they said I can turn it off only if I have a paid plan. But it's probably necessary for them as a thrid party to confirm the signature.
#### anyway, I tested the hash on the file that I downloaded

### so the hashes do match; that's cool
### but will I be able to view the certificates in the future?!?
### I went back to the admin dashboard -> documents -> completed -> (eye icon) -> certificate
#### ok, that worked. I can pull it up again.
### curiously it still says I've sent 0/15 emails this month
#### oh, I refrehed the page. now it says 1/15.
### I also see that my admin email got an email with an attachment titled "Test Agreement -
 REDACTED@eco-libre.org - 22-Apr-2026 02:26 AM.pdf" – so I guess it did email it to me
#### oh, awesome, there's also an attachment named "certificate.pdf"
#### the email is 83 KB + 139 KB for the two attachments, so that's reasonable. and that eliminates a lot of fear around exports. we'll have this data forever if we keep this email account's forever (or setup an automated backup process)
### there's also this "open sign drive" thing. I wasn't sure if this was an opt-in or pro feature
#### looks like the signed document is there too. it's just called "Test Agreement" – which isn't very nice, but I can see the "Created date" – which should be good enough.
## ok, I think we have a solution! this definitely meets our needs – unless/until we get >=6 volunteers per month (if we have them sign two documents each)
# I spent some time designing a letterhead in LibreOffice
# looks like what we want is a Contributor License Agreement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contributor_license_agreement
# looks like a lot of projects just use the CLA assistant tool on gthub https://cla-assistant.io/
## that's kinda cool, but I honestly don't know how long we'll be on github. If it's tied to an issue (and not something actually in git), it'll be hard to move to codeberg in the future
## still, I like the tl;dr CLA; short & sweet (maybe too much so) https://gist.github.com/waldyrious/e50feec13683e565769fbd58ce503d4e

## tldr-pages contributor agreement

(1) I assert that any past, present and future contributions I make to the tldr-pages project are my own work, and that I have the right to license them.

(2) I agree to license all my contributions to the tldr-pages project under the terms of the license included in the tldr-pages repository I’m contributing to.

(3) I grant the tldr-pages organization a license to distribute my contributions under any open content license compliant with the Open Definition [a], or any open source software license approved by the Open Source Initiative [b], as applicable.

a. http://opendefinition.org/licenses

b. https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical

# apparently Connonical created a project called Harmony for the purpose of making contributor agreements https://www.harmonyagreements.org/
## apparently these things are more complicated between individuals vs other entities. it's possible we'll work with for-profit companies in the future, and for that it'd be good if we were setup to accept both
## ugh, there's also a distinction between a "license" and a "assignment"
### I skimmed their guide, but I couldn't understand the difference between these two https://www.harmonyagreements.org/guide
# fedora project also has one, with an emphasis on *not* taking the copyright away from the user (some controversy about copyright transfer in different CLAs – such as from for-profit companies that later fork & lock-up their user-contributed content under a different, less-permisive license (though I really don't understand how that's possible if we use a CC SA license) https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/fpca/
## oh, fedora uses MIT license --which is probably why they need to add all that
# apahce has one https://www.apache.org/licenses/contributor-agreements.html#clas
## cool, they accept signing with gpg :D
# Element (the matrix client) which uses AGPL has a pretty good document, which is 3 pages long https://static.element.io/legal/contributor-license-agreement.pdf
# a lot of these are kinda software heavy. I wonder if there's any good OSHW orgs that we can try?
## I checked OSHWA, but didn't see a boilerplate CLA that we could copy https://oshwa.org/
### they did have a CoC. Jesus, how many policies do we need to make? https://oshwa.org/resources/how-to-write-a-code-of-conduct/
### I publicy tooted @oshwassociation@mastodon.social if they had something to recommend https://chaos.social/@ecolibre/116444933464052302
### hmm...here they recommend CERN OHL v2 instead of CC BY-SA, if we're using something like STL files that are generated from CAD design https://oshwa.org/resources/sharing-best-practices/
## CERN does have some does on CLAs https://ospo.docs.cern.ch/howtos/signing-CLA-DCO/
## CERN links to this short one, from the Linux Foundation https://developercertificate.org/

# ok, I think I'm muddling two things here
## I think the wiki's TOS should be simpler. If I require all wiki users to become volunteers first, and the volunteer onboarding requires the signing of documents, then the real legal stuff should be in the documents.
## for now, let's just do the bullet point thing on the wiki ToS. And I'll wait to hear back from OSHWA about the CLA for a *proper* leagl document later – maybe TODO when we actually get another volunteer application..
# I set the ToS to the DCO from the linux foundation https://wiki.eco-libre.org/wiki/Eco-Libre:Terms_of_Service
## ah crap, I just realized that it says "changing it is not allowed". I already changed it by removing the Linux Foundation from the name (I moved it to the bottom in an "attribution" section, which is another change! damn ND licenses! I'll have to find something else)
# I want to use the tl;dr gist, but it's not licensed! https://gist.github.com/waldyrious/e50feec13683e565769fbd58ce503d4e#file-tldr-pages-cla-md
## the profile of the author says they're a wikipedian and anarchist, so they'll probably be down to license it openly
## I asked here https://gist.github.com/waldyrious/e50feec13683e565769fbd58ce503d4e?permalink_comment_id=6112400#gistcomment-6112400
# another issue with a lot of these CLAs is that they're pretty old, and don't touch on AI.
## I'm thinking we should have a policy that forbids contributions from Eco-Libre volunteers that do any research or design work with AI, since it presents serious legal issues around copyrights. I really do want 100% of our work to be very CC BY-SA. With nothing to muddle the waters. We're doing this designs ourselves to build an open-source commons, built only individual human contributions and only other openly-licensed works
## clojure already addressed this in their CLA (they just call it CA = Contributor Agreement) https://clojure.org/dev/contributor_agreement
<pre>
No Generated Code

Clojure’s code is written and reviewed by humans. Code generated by a large language model or similar technology, such as Anthropic’s Claude, GitHub/Microsoft’s Copilot, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Facebook/Meta’s Code Llama et al, is not compliant with the covenants and representations of Clojure’s Contributor’s Agreement, and is thus not acceptable as code for Clojure.

An exception may be made for human written generators whose source code is contributed along with the patch
</pre>
## I don't like that exception. The source code doesn't just need to be submitted along with the patch. the whole training set data needs to be submitted along with the patch, which is practically impossible.
## weird, they call it the "Rich Hickey Contributor Agreement" https://na1.documents.adobe.com/public/esignWidget?wid=CBFCIBAA3AAABLblqZhCSXRbJ7T5RGvmMvmpg3CzvkF_RcpWXMnGWW_W9340ztJ3-ChQ0m18hA-d06ufD8Yk*
### oh good, the document itself is CC BY-SA
## the source for it was oracle's OCA https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oca-faq-405384.pdf
### yeah, the second-to-last FAQ question says that the OCA is CC BY-SA 
### looks like neither of them mention AI in the document itself :/
### maybe I don't like the RHCA contents, but I do really like the header and footer and how clearly it's licened itself as CC BY-SA

# I got a link from a friend from a pretty cool sounding similar project https://projectkamp.com/
## sounds like they have similar ideas as Eco-Libre, except they already bought land already
## They claim to use CC BY-SA to license all their works, but their videos are not marked as-such on YouTube. And, because YouTube is trash, I can't view their videos  https://academy.projectkamp.com/start/intro/#open-source--license
## I wanted to email them to update the license on their YouTube videos (so, at least, they could be archived on archive.org and uploaded to PeerTube, etc), but I couldn't find their email https://projectkamp.com/faq.html
## Their footer says they're part of One Army (along with, eg Precious Plastic), so I emailed One Army asking for the email address of Project Kamp https://www.onearmy.earth/

Hello,

Can you please tell me the email address of Project Kamp?

## I don't know what's wrong, and that's not enough to debug it. I tested ActivityPub on another site, and the config page had no issues. But I ended-up not finishing its setup because I wanted the actor URL to use the naked domain, and I'm still waiting to hear back on that https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/issues/3164
# anyway, I wrote a newsletter, scheduled it to go out for tomorrow at 15:00 UTC
# I also wrote the update for Open Collective
# I put the "Donate" page in the menu bar
## on mobile, this made the top navbar spill over into a second row, so I moved "Contact" under "Join Us"
### to make up for this, I started creating footer areas
### the theme supports three footers. one on the left, center, and right
### I put copyright & copyleft info on the right footer
### I put social media icons in the middle footer
### I put a "Contact" link on the left footer
## As I was styling the left footer, I stopped being able to update it suddenly. I kept getting error
<pre>
There was an error. Could not get a valid response from the server.
</pre>
## closer inspection of the networking tab of the browsers debugger showed an error when doing an OPTIONS request
## well, that's probably because (for security) we block all but GET POST and HEAD
<pre>
if ($request_method !~ ^(GET|HEAD|POST)$ ) {
   # note: 444 is a meta code; it doesn't return anything, actually
   #       it just logs, drops, & closes the connection (useful
   #       against malware)
   return 444;
}
</pre>
## well, fuck, our widgets are bricked
## I asked about this here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configure-wordpress-to-never-use-options-requests/
## as a workaround, I found that I *can* edit these footer widgets from the theme -> customize -> widgets section of the site – which sends POST as expected https://www.eco-libre.org/wp-admin/customize.php?return=%2Fwp-admin%2Fwidgets.php
# I realized that I can't post to lemmy anymore, because our sdf instance has been down since 2026-04-07
# I went ahead and created an accout request on the solar punk instance https://slrpnk.net/

## after that, I tried to login. it worked
## I expected to be sent to some 2fa registration page, but that didn't happen. it was just like any normal login
## I went to special pages to see if I could get it to yell at me to enable 2fa, but that didn't happen
### I only see the following bold options on /wiki/Special:SpecialPages (usually admin page). I wonder if this is a subset because the others are just hidden since I don't have 2FA setup? https://wiki.eco-libre.org/wiki/Special:SpecialPages
#### Manage Two-Factor Authentication, Watchlist, Upload file, Change content model of a page
## anyway, I went to "Manage Two-factor authentication" https://wiki.eco-libre.org/wiki/Special:AccountSecurity
## I clicked the "Enable" button under TOTP
## I scanned the code. It entered it in my TOTP app as "Eco-Libre" – that's not ideal. It should say "Eco-Libre Wiki"
## So I updated the LocalSettings.php config with
<pre>
# This is the name that the entry will have in the user's TOTP app
$wgOATHAuthAccountPrefix='Eco-Libre Wiki';
</pre>
## anyway, I was able to finish the 2FA enrollment process
## I went back to SpecialPages, and already I see a *ton* more SpecialPages in bold. So it looks like that restriction worked. Currently I have access to
### Unwateched pages, Block user, Create account, Delete user contributions, Disable user's two-factor authentication, Rename user, Unblock user, Verify two-factor authentication status, Watchlist, Upload file, Replace text, Change content model of a page, Import pages, Mass delete, Merge page histories, and View deleted pages.
## I also have a notifcation "Two-factor authenication has been enabeld on your account. If you did not do this, your account may have been comprimised."
## I logged-out
## I logged-in.
### First I teted it with 6 zeros (bullshit code), and it rejected it
### next I entered the real OTP from my app; it worked
## ok, this extension is done.
# ...
# probably the next-most important one is ConfirmAccount.
## Honestly I don't know if I'll use this, as I decided it's better to raise the barrier of entry on the wiki to users that have passed the Eco-Libre test (which is itself very accessible, but it does allow for a onboarding & alignment process that should eliminate spam issues that most wikis have)
## perhaps if I can set it up to email the applicant a link to the "volunteer test" docs, that would be helpful to funnel wiki users into the proper volunteer join workflow..
# first let me copy the extensions; I ran these commands to put them in-place (yet still deactivated)

#### I can't find elsewhere that says this specific cache type is requried. We're using APC, which I think is supposed to be more preformant than 
### I checked the OSE LocalSettings.php config, and it also uses ConfirmAccount *and* CACHE_ACCEL (APC), so surely it's fine

## I went to the SpecialPages, I now see "ConfirmAccounts Requests" https://wiki.eco-libre.org/wiki/Special:ConfirmAccounts
## Now, in a tor browser where I'm *not* logged-in, I can click on "Anonymous" in the top-right and click on "Request account" https://wiki.eco-libre.org/wiki/Special:RequestAccount
## there's this weird thing that people have to agree to the ToS *and* that their real name is real.
### that first one is reasonable (though we haven't written a ToS yet)
### that second one is dumb. why wouldn't we let users contribute anonymously?
#### so I edited the LocalSettings.php with this
<pre>
# we let folks contribute under pseudonyms 
$wgConfirmAccountRequestFormItems = [
   'UserName'        => [ 'enabled' => true ],
   'RealName'        => [ 'enabled' => false ],
   'Biography'       => [ 'enabled' => false, 'minWords' => 50 ],
   'AreasOfInterest' => [ 'enabled' => true ],
   'CV'              => [ 'enabled' => true ],
   'Notes'           => [ 'enabled' => true ],
   'Links'           => [ 'enabled' => true ],
   'TermsOfService'  => [ 'enabled' => true ],
 ];
</pre>
## ugh, it still has the same text about the "Real Name" – even after we disabled it
## looks like I need to create a wiki arrticle with the text that I want here https://wiki.eco-libre.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Requestaccount-text
### so the default text for this article is
<pre>
'Complete and submit the following form to request a user account'.

Make sure that you first read the Terms of Service before requesting an account.

Once the account is approved, you will be emailed a notification message and the account will be usable at login.
</pre>
### what I want is the "accept" text, which replaces this
<pre>
I have read and agree to abide by the Terms of Service of Eco-Libre. The name I have specified under "Real name" is in fact my own real name.
</pre>
### here's a list of all the system messages, according to the extensions wiki page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount#Minimal
#### requestaccount-text, requestaccount-notes, requestaccount-ext-text, requestaccount-acc-text
##### this is not it https://wiki.eco-libre.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Requestaccount-acc-text
<pre>
A confirmation message will be sent to your email address once you submit this request. The address will not be published. Please respond by clicking on the confirmation link provided by the email. Finally, your password will be emailed to you when your account is created. 
</pre>
#### nor this https://wiki.eco-libre.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Requestaccount-ext-text
<pre>
The following information is kept private and will only be used for this request. You may want to list contacts such a phone number to aid in identify confirmation. 
</pre>
### I just searched the string, and found this
<pre>
root@mail:/var/www/html/wiki.eco-libre.org# grep -irl 'is in fact my own real name' *
cache/l10n_cache-en.cdb
htdocs/extensions/ConfirmAccount/i18n/requestaccount/en.json
root@mail:/var/www/html/wiki.eco-libre.org# 
</pre>
#### so it looks like we need to edit one of these
<pre>
root@mail:/var/www/html/wiki.eco-libre.org# grep -i 'real name' htdocs/extensions/ConfirmAccount/i18n/requestaccount/en.json
		"requestaccount-real": "Real name (optional):",
		"requestaccount-real-i": "Real name is optional. If you choose to provide it, this will be used for giving the user attribution for their work.",
		"requestaccount-same": "(same as real name below)",
		"requestaccount-agree": "You must certify that your real name is correct and that you agree to our Terms of Service.",
		"requestaccount-tos": "I have read and agree to abide by the [[{{MediaWiki:Requestaccount-page}}|Terms of Service]] of {{SITENAME}}.\nThe name I have specified under \"Real name\" is in fact my own real name.",
root@mail:/var/www/html/wiki.eco-libre.org# 
</pre>
#### I edited these two pages
##### https://wiki.eco-libre.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Requestaccount-tos
##### https://wiki.eco-libre.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Requestaccount-agree
### that worked; the agree text changed when I refresh the RequsetAccount form in tor browser
### I entered the min inforamtion, and got this response
<pre>
Your account request has been sent and is now pending review. A confirmation email has been sent to your email address.

Return to Main Page.
</pre>
#### curiously, that means it didn't force me to enter a CV, bio, or the list of websites
#### I also got an email from noreply@eco-libre.org. It just basically asked me to click an email. Good GDPR compliance.
##### wait, I refreshed the special page as admin. it shows-up for review. so I guess not GDPR compliant :(
##### also the ip address listed is 127.0.0.1. Perhaps I need to configure MediaWiki to process X-Forwarded-For headers
### I changed 'false' to 'true' for the biography; now it appears again
<pre>
$wgConfirmAccountRequestFormItems = [
   'UserName'        => [ 'enabled' => true ],
   'RealName'        => [ 'enabled' => false ],
   'Biography'       => [ 'enabled' => true, 'minWords' => 50 ],
   'AreasOfInterest' => [ 'enabled' => true ],
   'CV'              => [ 'enabled' => true ],
   'Notes'           => [ 'enabled' => true ],
   'Links'           => [ 'enabled' => true ],
   'TermsOfService'  => [ 'enabled' => true ],
 ];
</pre>
## the workflow is for, after being approved, the system emails the passowrd. that's not very secure. we should, at least, make sure to require the user to change their password on first login
### I was looking for a way to force users to change their password on first login, but I first found this in the OSE config
<pre>
#############

$wgSecureLogin = true;
$wgSecretKey = 'REDACTED';

$wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['default']['PasswordCannotMatchUsername'] = true;

$wgPasswordPolicy['policies']['sysop']['MinimalPasswordLength'] = 20

# I checked the changelog. looks like this extension is getting updated almost every 1-2 days from "Translation updater bot" – that's terrible. We need three consecutive days of no changes for 3TOFU https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OATHAuth
## hmm, well, if I look back further, there was a gap of 2 months before the update 6 days ago. So there certainly is *some* stability.
## also, that was *all* commits. This one limits to just the 1.43 branch, which is what we want https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/OATHAuth/+log/refs/heads/REL1_43
### hmm, that one shows the last update was 10 hours ago, and the one before that was 2 months ago (Jan 22). That would be fine, but didn't we have two consecutive 3TOFUs fail on us?
### oh, wait, woah. the commits are out of order! First it shows "10 hours ago" and then "2 months ago" and then "7 days ago" wtf!
