Bluesky Free and Open Source Software Resources [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

We have our Bluesky Global Warming Lists and Feeds under control now, as you can see in yesterday’s Renewable Friday. Today I have a List and a Feed for you of Bluesky resources on Free and Open Source Software. Free Software is licensed under the GNU Public License for free reuse and modification, on the condition that any changes are published under the same license.

Open Source does not require changes to be shared. Many Linux distributions are Free Software, except for some proprietary drivers in some distributions. BSD Linux is distributed under an Open Source license. So Apple uses BSD as the base platform for MacOS, but doesn’t release that source code. There are other Open Source licenses for products other than software.

Linux started out as an operating system kernel, and had an extensive suite of GNU (GNU’s Not Unix) tools added to it. Thus GNU/Linux. Far more software has been added since, and organized somewhat differently in different distributions. Thus Ubuntu Linux, Red Hat Linux, Debian Linux, and a multitude of others.

Here, then, is my initial list of relevant Bluesky sources with a few posts. I will be adding more soon. Free Software Free Software List by you Gnu Linux, Free Sofware
