During the remainder of the month, I’ve been working on the remaining libc++ test failures, improving the NetBSD clang driver and helping Kamil Rytarowski with compiler-rt. Previously, I’ve resolved test failures in LLVM, Clang, LLD, libunwind, openmp and partially libc++. As you can read in my previous report, I’ve been focusing on fixing build and test failures for the purpose of improving the buildbot coverage. NetBSD entering 2019 with more complete LLVM support I’m recently helping the NetBSD developers to improve the support for this operating system in various LLVM components. We seem to be in some terrible new era of frankenlicenses, where the worst of proprietary licenses are bolted on to the goodwill created by open source licenses we need your legal voices before these creatures destroy the village!

To foundations concerned with software liberties, including the Apache Foundation, the Linux Foundation, the Free Software Foundation, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Open Source Initiative, and the Software Freedom Conservancy: the open source community needs your legal review on this! I don’t think I’m being too alarmist when I say that this is potentially a dangerous new precedent being set it would be very helpful to have your lawyers offer their perspectives on this, even if they disagree with one another. With efforts like, GitHub has been a model in guiding projects with respect to licensing it would be helpful for GitHub’s counsel to weigh in on their view of this new strain of source-available proprietary software and the degree to which it comes into conflict with GitHub’s own terms of service.

It’s one thing to have one click through to accept a license (though again, that itself is dubious), but to say that a git clone is an implicit acceptance of a contract that happens to be sitting somewhere in the repository beggars belief. To GitHub: Assuming that this is in fact a EULA, I think it is perilous to allow EULAs to sit in public repositories. That said, there are aspects of his response that I found troubling enough to closely re-read the Confluent Community License - and that in turn has led me to a deeply disturbing realization about what is potentially going on here. Let me be clear that I hold Jay in high regard, as both a software engineer and an entrepreneur - and I appreciate the time he took to write a thoughtful response. As part of this discussion on HN, Jay Kreps of Confluent took the time to write a detailed response - which he shortly thereafter elevated into a blog entry. Headlines A EULA in FOSS clothing? There was a tremendous amount of reaction to and discussion about my blog entry on the midlife crisis in open source. A EULA in FOSS clothing, NetBSD with more LLVM support, Thoughts on FreeBSD 12.0, FreeBSD Performance against Windows and Linux on Xeon, Microsoft shipping NetBSD, and more.
