It's at least the second time that I see maintainers of "#opensource" be actively and strongly upset that people (as in other free/open source devs, not big corps) actually make use of the licensing terms that they gave to their software.
It's just baffling to me. Is it that people don't understand the implications of the licenses they choose? That they never actually believed in the freedoms they gave but just thought it sounded sexy somehow, wanting to have their cake and eat it too?

Digitalisierung: Open Source hat im Bund keine Lobby - Golem.de
Frust im Amt Die Verwaltung lässt sich nur mit Open-Source-Software souverän digitalisieren. Doch der Bund nutzt sie bislang kaum. Warum?

Die Bundesregierung gibt jährlich Milliarden für proprietäre US-Software aus, obwohl das E-Government-Gesetz seit 2024 #OpenSource (OSS) bevorzugt. Trotzdem bleibt OSS in der Verwaltung Randerscheinung – mit gravierenden Folgen für digitale Souveränität, Transparenz und Kostenkontrolle

You know what's the difference between a human programmer and an "#AI coding assistant"?
Sure, human programmers make mistakes. And rookies often make "worse" mistakes than an #LLM can come up with. However, the difference is that humans can actually learn. Teaching them comes with a payoff; not always and not necessarily for your project, but there's a good chance that they'll become better programmers and contribute back to the community.
Sure, human programmers sometimes plagiarize. And of course they need to look at some code while they learn. However, they actually can think on their own and come up with something original. And they can learn that plagiarism is wrong.
And most importantly, usually they don't lie if they don't have to, and there are limits to their smugness. You can build a healthy community with them.
You can't build a community with unethical bullshit-spitting machines.

Something that’s been bothering me for years in the security world: why do researchers demand bug bounties for vulnerabilities in open source projects, when the very contributors maintaining and fixing those issues get nothing, just goodwill?
It feels deeply unfair. The burden falls on unpaid maintainers, yet bounty hunters get rewarded. If you want a paid bounty, maybe help fund the people who actually fix the mess too.

Viele sagen: “Man kann ja eh nichts machen, alle nutzen Microsoft & Co.” Falsch! #OpenSource bietet echte Alternativen, fördert Innovation und schützt vor digitaler Fremdbestimmung. Es ist Zeit, umzudenken, meint Harald Schirmer. Unabhängigkeit, Transparenz und digitale Souveränität ist genau das, was Europa jetzt braucht.

If you're writing a library, you should really avoid #CMake. CMake is designed to lock you in. As in, once you release a #FreeSoftware project using CMake, you can't switch to another build system with causing real trouble to your users. And if you support multiple build systems, as soon as you start supporting CMake, some of your users are going to start locking everyone else in.
That's because CMake uses a custom package discovery mechanism that's hardly compatible with anything else, and that is so complex that it's very hard to reimplement it with any other build system. So when others start relying on the CMake config files being installed (and they naturally will, since that's how CMake does things), you can't stop installing them without actually breaking stuff. And if you want to preserve them without actually using CMake, well, good luck with that.
And if CMake is one of the options you support, then some of your consumers will accidentally start relying on it anyway. And this will be much worse for everyone, because now their projects won't work for people who build your project with any other build system. Which in turn will force more projects to use CMake anyway. Which in turn will make more people rely on CMake being used…
Use #Meson as the build system, it's clean and not designed to lock you in. Use pkg-config for library data; it's simple and portable.
