We already have !opensource@lemmy.ml, which Libre culture is a sister ideology to, but it’s a little ambiguous whether Libre culture includes all open source or just the copyleft parts. I’m going to assume everyone here knows the difference between open source and copyleft and the problems with permissive open source, so I won’t get into it now. I’m holding a community discussion on whether this community should allow sharing of non-copyleft projects, or if that should go in !opensource@lemmy.ml while !libre_culture@lemmy.ml focuses on Libre philosophy and sharing of copyleft projects.

I should note that disallowing non-copyleft projects would not disallow discussions of open source regardless of whether it mentions copyleft, just the promotion of non-copyleft projects and non-copyleft licenses.

    I am torn on if it should of not.

    After thinking about it, I think we should stick to copy left licenses. Like you mention there is already the OpenSource SubLemmy, and for me it comes down to why do you believe in Libre Culture. For next it’s not just a passive thing of " oh, I made a thing so I guess I’ll release it so others can view it." Free Software is an active good that should be promoted.
