In praise of the BSD license

One so-called freedom that we do not advocate is the "freedom to choose any license you want for software you write". --Richard M. Stallman

Link: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/freedom-or-power.html

There is nothing wrong with the GPL license. You should be free to use it if what it is trying to do is that same thing that you are trying to do. And indeed, the popularity of GPL tells us that that this is true for a bunch of people.

The GPL license is all about control. It controls what others can do with the software. Specifically, it forces them to release any changes made to the software under the same GPL license and publish the changes for the world to see and re-use.

The BSD license is all about freedom. It places almost no restrictions on how the software can be used, modified, and distributed. The primary requirement is that you retain the BSD copyright notice so people know that they are using something that contains BSD-licensed code.

Unlike most people who choose GPL, who just want any improvements to be made available to them, a tiny but vocal minority are members of The Religion Of GNU and claim that, through some dark magic that nobody understands, the mere existence of any non-free derivative work somehow makes the original nonfree. There is no point arguing with them. They did not reach that conclusion through logic and reason and no amount of logic or reason will get them to leave the cult.

Here are the two most popular BSD licenses:

I made a game that supports native FreeBSD.

I'm in the process of making a game with my dad and tried to add native FreeBSD support. It was not easy, and I struggled a lot, but I think it worked out great. The game is in super early access, so it's not going to be looking like this in the final version. Please have a look:

Apparmor like?

How can I sandbox multiple GUI applications transparently to the user, so Firefox cannot read my SSH keys or any other directory? Or image viewer only read files in Pictures

Finally installed FreeBSD

I have been trying to install FreeBSD for about 1 year now, and after trying on 3 different machines, I finally installed successfully and got Sway up and running on my Beelink SER5 Max. I configured grimshot and screen recording software to work with Home and Mod4+Home respectively. I have internet through ethernet, and no bluetooth because my wifi chip is not yet supported. Here are some images:

Compiling TanjaOS on BSD

TanjaOS now supports compiling on BSD systems. A new Makefile called Makefile.bsd was made to compile TanjaOS on BSD systems. “Why does it now support BSD systems now? Why not sooner or later?” To answer that, this is because I have switched from Arch Linux to FreeBSD, which kind of forces me to make a new Makefile for compiling on BSD. To use this new Makefile.bsd you have to first make sure gmake, gcc, and nasm are installed. And then use ‘gmake <option> -f Makefile.bsd’ also for those who don’t know, the ‘-f’ flag is to tell gmake to which Makefile to use and where it is. If you’re interested, you can get TanjaOS at www.tanjaos.org or if you want the source, you can download TanjaOS-base.tar.gz at www.tanjaos.org/downloads
