He introduced features like comments, friends lists, and user profiles to facilitate user interaction and sharing.

LiveJournal's introduction of community-driven groups based on shared interests contributed to its early success.

The rise of social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter impacted LiveJournal's user base and engagement.

Failure to adapt, competition, and privacy concerns can contribute to a social media platform's decline, potentially relevant to LiveJournal's case.

LiveJournal's decline may have been due to the rise of other social networking sites and its own limitations.

LiveJournal supports social networking and customizable templates, allowing users to create unique blogs.

The system uses a multiblog engine, allowing users to manage multiple blogs from a single interface.

Open-source software facilitated LiveJournal's evolution through collaboration and community development.

The decline of LiveJournal is due to the rise of other social media platforms and changes in user behavior, not its technology or development model.

Content: Regulators Seem to Think That Facebook Is the Internet

That’s a problem.

In 1997, SixDegrees.com was the first real attempt at social networking, creating a space where users could upload their information and list their friends. The site peaked at approximately 3.5 million users before it shut down in 1999.

Since then, a series of social networking business models have emerged, each time offering more advanced tools for user interaction. LiveJournal, a site for keeping up with school friends, combined blogging and social networking features inspired by the WELL; Friendster was a social network that allowed for increased interaction and control by users; Myspace had open membership and gave users the freedom to customize their pages. In 2005, it—and its 25 million user base—was sold to News Corp. But within three years, Myspace had been surpassed by Facebook, which launched in 2004 for college students and opened to everyone in 2006.

As that history shows, in the early days of the internet, disruption was profound and constant: New companies emerged in music, video, e-commerce, publishing, and telephony on an almost yearly basis. The internet appeared to be a space where competition could thrive.

Not anymore.

Today, disruption happens in much smaller ways. The examples are getting fewer because economies of scale have concentrated innovation in the hands of a few players.

More often, disruption comes from regulation—for better or, often, for worse. Current regulation attempts focus on the actions and behavior of some actors—chiefly Facebook—while creating unintended consequences for the internet, particularly fragmentation, or the splintering of the global internet into one that more closely hews territorial borders.

It’s understandable that both the public and regulators might think that regulating “the internet” means focusing on the biggest players. Much of it has to do with the fact that users are often exposed to various types of illegal behavior and content through some of the most popular services that exist on the internet. Fix misinformation, or extremism, or ideological silos, or security on Facebook, the thinking goes, and you’ve fixed it on the internet as a whole.

But this is an unhelpful and misguided narrative. First, the internet is not a monolith, so treating it as if it is simply will not work. Second, many of the issues regulators are trying to address are not internet problems; they are societal. Terrorism, child abuse, and mis- and disinformation are not an offspring of the internet; they existed before the internet, and they will continue to exist after it as they are ingrained in human societies. Yet, they are treated as if they are exclusively internet problems. Third, and most importantly, regulators should stop thinking of the internet as Facebook and treating it as such. In the internet regulatory landscape, there is a mixed bag of different issues, and Facebook’s involvement in all of them, direct or indirect, adds to the current complexity. Content moderation, privacy, intermediary liability, competition, encryption—these are all broader issues related to the internet, not just Facebook. Yet, the pattern that has emerged is to treat them as Facebook issues. What this means is that, instead of focusing on trying to address them in ways appropriate for the entire internet ecosystem, they are addressed through the Facebook lens. This has been quite accurately characterized as the “Facebook Derangement Syndrome.”

The global regulatory agenda is replete with such examples. In the United Kingdom, the Online Safety legislation wants to ban end-to-end encryption because of Facebook’s plan to introduce it as a default setting in its Messenger service. On the other side of the Commonwealth, Australia recently introduced a media bargaining code mainly targeting Facebook. Facebook famously “left” the country before renegotiating a new agreement. Similarly, in what seems to be a coordinated effort, Canada has vowed to work with Australia in an attempt to impose regulatory restrictions on Facebook.

And this trend is not limited to the Commonwealth.

India’s new intermediary guidelines aim at tightening a regulatory grip on Facebook and its partner company WhatsApp while Brazil’s fake news bill, which got approved by the Senate, is focusing on content moderation on Facebook and traceability on WhatsApp. In France, there have been conversations about the introduction of “new rules” for Facebook, while Germany’s Network Enforcement Law—NetzDG—was drafted with the primary focus of taming Facebook. Finally, in the United States, the Trump administration issued an unsuccessful executive order that aimed to regulate Facebook for bias.

This approach of limiting regulation to Facebook is not entirely unusual. It reflects the principal-agent conundrum that, over the years, has allowed companies like Facebook to  propose policies and deploy tools that can have an impact on the way regulation gets to be enforced. The principal-agent problem is predominantly characterized by conflict of interest and moral hazards. Due to information asymmetries, the agent holds the bargaining power, and this creates a few unknowns: The principal is in no position to know the information the agent holds. Even when she does, she cannot be certain that the agent is acting to her best interest. So, the principal ends up focusing squarely on the agent, disregarding any peripheral issues that might be significant.

The principal-agent problem may help explain why governments appear ready to introduce regulation targeting Facebook; however, it does not help explain why, in the process of doing so, the main loser is the internet and its users.

Over the past couple of years, Facebook has said, “We support regulation,” and “we want updated internet regulations to set clear guidelines for addressing today’s toughest challenges.” This statement would be significant if it did not come across as self-serving. At this stage, regulation is inescapable and Facebook knows it—as does the rest of big tech. In an effort to adapt to this new reality, companies often take advantage of their dominant position to drive regulatory processes, often at the expense of regulation itself.

Advertisement

In this context, the question we should be asking is not whether regulation is appropriate, but what are the real implications of regulating in such a manner? There is already an argument that focusing on a few, big players has an impact on the health of innovation and the ability of newcomers to compete. And, then, there is the internet. The internet’s global reach is one of its main strengths. It is a feature, not a bug. Among other things, it allows the maintenance of supply chains all over the world; it allows people to communicate; it lowers costs; and it makes information sharing easier, all the while helping to address societal issues like poverty or climate change.

To this end, the attempt to regulate based on one—or a handful—of companies can jeopardize this very important goal of the internet. It can create fragmentation, in the sense of not allowing data to flow across borders or networks to interconnect, and this can be very real and have a very big impact. It can impose limits on the way information and data gets to be shared and the way networks may interoperate. These are significant trade-offs, and they must be part of any regulation’s process.

Advertisement

So where do we go from here?

For sure, the answer cannot be to stop regulating. We must accept, however, that the current approach often generates unintended consequences that only superficially affect those who must be regulated.

In this light, a possible way forward is to experiment with regulation. Experimental regulation is a relatively underused approach, yet it is flexible enough to accommodate dynamic markets, like the internet. Originally associated with the work of John Dewey, this idea is premised on the fact that, in policymaking, the way we approach theories and strategies of justice depends on “the experience of their pursuit; it is these changes that then allow us to consider how best to achieve our objectives.” The advantage of this thinking is that it considers unintended consequences as an opportunity to better define appropriate regulatory frameworks and how to achieve the desired goals.

Advertisement

Internet regulation does not experiment enough, and when it does, it appears to have the wrong focus. In Australia, for instance, the effort to ensure robust journalism in an age of disinformation in social media platforms led to a “link tax” that undermines the architecture, history, and economics of the internet. This is partly due to the role big tech companies play in the regulatory process. One of the immediate things one can observe with internet regulation is the process some actors deploy: In the beginning, they operate in favor of sustaining existing policies and bureaucracies. The thinking is that longevity brings legitimacy, and as a result, the policy becomes its own cause. Once this strategy is embedded in process, these powerful forces move toward pushing their own regulatory agenda.

Advertisement

It is for this reason that there is a certain appeal toward flexible regulatory systems that allow different units to experiment with different approaches and make room for assessments that separate the relevant from the nonrelevant and preexisting rules. Although experimentation neither offers a drastic approach nor aims to replace traditional routes of regulation, it can limit the risks of politicization, as politics become more context focused.

One of the first things we need is an internet impact assessment that looks at the different parts of the internet’s infrastructure and the effect that regulation may have. It is no longer just about regulating a few actors. It is about protecting the global infrastructure that we all depend on daily.

The internet has a Facebook problem, but the internet is not Facebook.

Anna VLADIMIROVA
Access to the "Live Journal" was restored after the administration of the LiveJournal blog platform executed the decisions of the judicial authorities of Kazakhstan on the removal of illegal materials posted on the resource.
Representatives of LiveJournal reported on the removal from the blogging platform of materials containing signs of propaganda of terrorism and religious extremism, public calls to commit acts of terrorism and the manufacture of explosive devices.
Earlier, the Saryarka court of Astana issued a decision to close access to the “Live Journal ” from August 20, 2011 due to the distribution of these materials.
As a result, the Committee of Communications, Informatization and Information of the Ministry of Investment and Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan decided to resume access to the resource on the territory of Kazakhstan from November 11 this year.
LiveJournal also plans to open a representative office in Kazakhstan and develop the Kazakhstan segment of the blogging platform.
For reference: “Live Journal ” is a blogging platform for keeping online diaries (blogs).
Provides the ability to publish your own and comment on other people ’ s records, conduct collective blogs (“communities ”), add other users to friends and follow their records in the“ friends feed ”.

BTW, Drummer runs on Linux, in case that wasn't clear. And Windows and Mac. I use a Mac mostly, but I'd love to convert to Linux. Only one app is keeping me on the Mac, the OPML Editor, and only for its ability to manage my development work. But Drummer is getting pretty close to being able to do that. When it's fully up to speed I will be able to run everything in Linux, and believe me -- I will relax. I'm skating on thin ice on the Mac and know it. #
Yesterday I put out a call for new Drummer testers, asking for people with blogging and/or scripting experience. I should have also asked for people who have used outliners, such as LogSeq, Roam, Obsidian, Org-mode, my own MORE, ThinkTank and Ready, or others. Drummer is all about outlining, as I said yesterday -- unabashedly so. We used to be reserved about software centered on outlining, but no more. Send an email or Twitter DM if you're interested in being in the test group. #
The press is full of reports that President Biden screwed up the pullout from Afghanistan. But none of the people saying he did it wrong say what he should have done instead. #
The usual monthly ritual is complete. Archived the August posts, and started my outline with a fresh slate for September. Trying to imagine what wonders and atrocities await us! ðŸ’¥#
  • My use of tagging has been going for a while now, and i'm still doing it, which in my experience is a total success for a categorization system. Even better, some of the tags are getting enough references to be useful, for example Drummer.#
  • What seems to come next is to hook all of this up with a Wiki, so the landing page for a tag can have more than just links to articles. In other words all of this amounted to integrating an outliner with a Wiki, which was one of my goals after hanging out with Ward Cunningham for a couple of days a few years back. #
  • Software development sometimes is like painting. You do something over and over iteratively, from a lot of angles, and arrive somewhere, but that itself is probably just on the road to what's next after that. #

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)

It's even worse than it appears..
I've heard ActivityPub described as two-way RSS. If so, there are imho more direct ways to arrive at that. I think it's possible to create a federation system that takes a few days to implement. Maybe it doesn't need all the features they've put into ActivityPub. I'm pretty sure a lightweight social network is what's called for now. I know 20 different ventures have started up to do this, but isn't it weird that none of them have built on RSS. That's the only approach imho that has a chance of doing something unique here. I'd rather work with other people, but I'm not into replacing simplicity with something that's not very simple. #
I'm back on Wordle, having solved the puzzle every day for the last 36 days. It's training my mind -- I see patterns I wouldn't ordinarily see, because I spend as much as an hour or two every day looking for patterns in letters, and finding them, eventually. I wish at times my mind worked more like a computer. When their bot says "there were only three possible solutions at that point" -- I wish I could see what they are at each point, or at least know how many they are, if not what they are. The training has also helped my mind debug software. I'm not as daunted as I often am when there appears to be no solution to the problem I'm working on. I'm sure I'll find it eventually. #
People who say Twitter is over aren't considering how vast it is. Same kind of situation as with Atom many years ago. It wasn't obvious how deeply installed RSS was, all the networks that had been created with it. It was basically impossible at that time to displace RSS. Anyway, same thing with Twitter today, no matter how vile the owner of the network is. It has been around since 2006, a time of huge growth in networking, and it captured basically all of it. So if there's anyone you need to reach, and they're hooked up to the net, you almost certainly will be able to reach them on Twitter. This is another situation like Napster. Never have you had all the music of our civilization available so easily to so many people. We could have done so much with that. The most prudent thing to do with Twitter is to organize a buyout for Musk, and get him out of that position. We don't need to delete it, not that we could, we need to get Musk out of a position of control. #

Content: What happened to MySpace and Hi5, the social networks that ruled the world but failed
Currently, Hi5 is a platform similar to Tinder, where you can also enjoy online social games.
The growth of social networks has certainly been exponential in recent years, and it ’ s only worth taking a look at how much they ’ ve changed 15 years ago to see which ones are in progress, and all the new projects that are so integral to people ’ s daily lives today.
The vast majority of people have been able to see the growth of giants like Facebook and certainly Hi5MySpace.
Next, Infobae brought two of the most popular social networks that were no longer available, but they were pioneers in connecting people through the internet.
What happened to MySpace, and why it didn ’ t succeed in the rise of social media
Myspace is a platform that was born in 2003 and has won glory among people over the years.
Eight years after its debut, the network had 33 million visitors in the United States
From 2005 to 2008, Myspace became the most visited social network in the world because it was also one of the earliest social networks.
However, with the advent of new web pages and portals, their popularity has declined markedly, especially in Latin America
While it ’ s still one of the most visited platforms, everything changed with the advent of Mark Zuckerberg ’ s Facebook, which grew from 1,600 to just 200 people in two years.
The photo blogging platform is very popular among teenagers; although it is available to all who have an email address. MySpace is based in Argentina, which greatly helps that most of its users are from Latin America, as is Hi5, which will be discussed later.
In addition to photo sharing features, the site offers services such as private messaging font size settings, background and link colors.
Another function of the social network is to place lists of images and files that are more important to people ’ s personal lives; such as sports, TV shows, music, and links that users visit regularly.
Another important message that didn ’ t quite like the platform ’ s users was that MySpace had a deal with Google that doubled the number of ads on its site.
MySpace ’ s crowded ad design is actually dizzying compared to Facebook ’ s streamlined offerings.
What happened to the social network Hi5 that conquered Latin America
Founded in 2003 by Ramu Yalamanchi, the social network has been a worldwide success, accumulating more than 70 million registered users four years later.
At its peak, the platform became one of the 40 most visited websites in the world, especially in Latin America.
However, its popularity did not become a completely different idea: the development of video games. In 2010, hi5 was no longer a social network, but became part of the social gaming world; however, after registering nearly 3 billion visits a month, the site dropped to just 46 million.
Because of this, it was sold to Tagged.
Then, when a person presses the following link, they will realize that the interface is no longer the same. When trying to access and restore the account, the system will show that the message is no longer active.
However, you can still create new profiles.
There are five options, namely “Know Me ”,“ Explore ”, “Inbox ”,“ Play ” and “Profile ”:
- Know me like a spark; a profile that can be accepted or rejected.
- In "Browse" there are multiple profiles, you can choose one and contact the person.
“It ’ s part of the game.
- "Inbox" is a private message, and personal information is the user's personal information.
So if the user at some point considered the possibility of restoring the photo, that would no longer be possible.
All that ’ s left is a memory of the years of using Hi5, when schoolchildren came home from school and they could spend hours editing profiles in front of their computers, using different options to set backgrounds, long clothes, GIFs, and other tools.

The rise and fall of social networking sites: major projects that have faded over the past years
In recent years, the Internet has seen the rapid rise and subsequent disappearance of social media platforms, which according to studies can be attributed to the failure to adapt to changing trends, privacy concerns, intense competition, and the emergence of more alternatives.
(Getty)
The rapid development of the digital age has brought many changes to the ways of communication over the past years, as the Internet world has witnessed the rise and fall of various communication sites, platforms that once flourished and flourished but eventually faded into oblivion.
In recent years, the Internet has seen the rapid rise and subsequent disappearance of social media platforms, which according to studies can be attributed to the failure to adapt to changing trends, privacy concerns, intense competition, and the emergence of more alternatives, which also indicate the rapid pace of technological progress and the need for continuous innovation.
MySpace has enjoyed unprecedented popularity during the mid-2000s, providing users with a platform to connect, share media and express themselves creatively, however, the decline of MySpace began when Facebook emerged as a dominant force in the social media landscape, studies show that MySpace failed to adapt to the changing preferences of their user base. This resulted in a loss of relevance and decreased user engagement.
Launched in 2004, Orkut was a pioneer in social networking, particularly in countries such as Brazil and India, and despite its early success, Orkut struggled to combat spam, privacy concerns and the rise of rival platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
As studies indicate, the lack of innovation and failure to address these issues eventually led to their demise in 2014, which also happened with the site "First Messenger" which was once an integral part of the lives of many people on the Internet, allowing users to communicate in real time and facilitate conversations and enhance communication between users. Like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, they have wiped out the site ’ s last hope of survival, amidst this massive and rapid technological development.
In 2011, Google Plus was launched, which was aimed at competing with Facebook and creating a social network within Google ’ s ecosystem, and despite the company ’ s vast resources, it failed to attract a large user base, which led to the fall of the application in 2019, which led to the company ’ s closure of the project due to a decline in the number of users.
In another example, Vine had gained immense popularity with its unique six-second videos, which served as a breeding ground for budding creators and led to numerous viral trends, however, Vine ’ s downfall is attributed to its failure to monetize content effectively, and the emergence of rival and powerful platforms such as Instagram and Snapchat.
Delicious is a harsh example of the fall of a social media platform, where the site faced major challenges due to the lack of effective monetization strategies, and the emergence of new competitors on the platform, which led to a sharp decline in the user base, and ultimately sold and re-launched, under new ownership.

Failure to adapt, competition, and privacy concerns can contribute to a social media platform's decline, potentially relevant to LiveJournal's case.

LiveJournal's decline may have been due to the rise of other social networking sites and its own limitations.

LiveJournal supports social networking and customizable templates, allowing users to create unique blogs.

After Russian users could no longer use foreign social networks, where did they post their blogs?

The system uses a multiblog engine, allowing users to manage multiple blogs from a single interface.

Open-source software facilitated LiveJournal's evolution through collaboration and community development.

Title:

Content: Licensing of open source software.
A revolution in the software industry
Open source software is essential for the functioning of the modern Internet, and it is essential for all our modern technologies.
It is hard to imagine a world without the ubiquitous open source that drives the Internet.
For example, 60% of the world ’ s websites operate via Apache and Nginx open source web servers.
Open source software forms the simple and functional construction basics that help run everything from TVs to artificial intelligence chatbots.
It is almost impossible to overestimate the importance of the open source movement in making software development available.
The history of open source software dates back to the 1950s and 1960s, when the culture and philosophy related to it began to take shape, and ideas about collaboration and software sharing began to emerge, as the popular culture was moving towards greater knowledge and software sharing.
What is open source software?
There are many different definitions of open source, but they generally address the same key points.
For software to be open source, it must be freely available and the public is allowed to freely access, modify, and distribute the source code, which includes the sale or marketing of any derivative (i.e., improved or modified) or aggregator (i.e., combines multiple pieces of software) that may result from open source software.
Open source is seen as a set of values for building and sharing software, and different organizations have different criteria for what those values are.
The philosophy of open source software is based on cooperation and transparency, where developers from around the world can work together to jointly develop and improve software, improving the quality, security and flexibility of the software, as well as providing wider opportunities for innovation and providing innovative technical solutions.
In short, open source is a term referring to open source software, which is code designed to be publicly available, where anyone can see, modify and distribute the code as they see fit.
Advantages of Open Source Software
Open source software provides an innovative and open environment for collaboration and development, facilitates access to technology and encourages active participation in the software development process.
This type of software comes with many advantages that make it attractive to developers and users alike, here are some of the main advantages:
Cost: Open source software is free to use and distribute, making it affordable for everyone, and companies and individuals can save money by using open source software instead of expensive commercial software.
Transparency: Anyone can see the source code of the program, allowing for more transparency and accountability, users can better understand how the program works by looking at the source code, and the community can help developers detect and fix errors faster.
Collaboration: This type of software allows anyone to contribute to software development by fixing bugs, adding new features, and translating documents, communities can collaborate to develop open source software that better meets their needs, and collaboration between developers and users can lead to new innovations.
Security: The community can audit the source code to make sure the software is secure and free of vulnerabilities, and the community can help developers fix vulnerabilities faster.
It is difficult for governments and companies to monitor open source software, making it more resistant to censorship.
• Innovation: Open source software can be used as the basis for new software development, which promotes innovation in technology, the community can share ideas and collaborate to develop new software, and users can customize open source software to meet their own needs.
• Freedom: Users can use open source software for any purpose and without restrictions, users can modify the source code of the software and distribute it, and can also choose open source software that best meets the needs.
• Sustainability: Open source software gets support from the developer community and users, making it more sustainable than commercial software, the community can continuously update open source software, and open source software can adapt to the changing needs of users.
• Ease of use: Many open source programs provide comprehensive documentation and tutorials that make it easy to use, the community can help users solve problems they may encounter, and users can customize open source programs to meet their own needs.
Disadvantages of open source software
Despite the many advantages that come with open source software, it also carries some disadvantages and challenges, and these potential disadvantages and challenges should be recognized and taken into account when deciding on their use.
Here are some common disadvantages of open source software:
Support: There may not be technical support available from the developer, which can make it difficult for users to solve problems they may encounter, and solving open source software problems also depends heavily on the help of the community, which may not be enough at times.
Security: Some open source software may be vulnerable to security vulnerabilities, especially if it doesn ’ t get regular updates, and it can be difficult for regular users to check the software ’ s source code to make sure it ’ s secure.
Documentation: Documents may not be comprehensive or easy to understand, which may make it difficult for users to use the software, and it may be difficult to translate documents into other languages, which may limit the use of the software by people who do not speak English.
Compatibility: Some open source programs may not be compatible with all operating systems, and some open source programs may not be compatible with some other programs.
Learning: It can be difficult for new users to learn how to use open source software, especially if they have no previous experience of using software, and there may not be many educational tools available to help users learn how to use open source software.
Integration: Open source software may be difficult to integrate with other systems, and there may not be turnkey solutions for integrating open source software with other systems.
Intellectual Property: It can be difficult to ensure that open source software does not infringe the intellectual property rights of others, and sometimes it can be difficult to obtain licenses to use some open source software.
Sustainability: The sustainability of open source software depends on community contributions, which may not be guaranteed in the long term, and it may be difficult to fund the development of open source software.
• Ease of use: The user interface for open source software may be complex and difficult to use, especially for new users, as there may not be many utilities available to facilitate the use of open source software.
Examples of open source software
There are thousands of open source software in different fields, and this software is characterized by the freedom and flexibility that it provides developers and users to customize, modify and use it according to their individual needs.
Here are some examples of open source software in different fields:
• "Linux": a free and open source operating system based on its own "kernel", and Linux is widely used in a variety of devices, systems and applications.
Android is an open-source smartphone operating system used by more than 2 billion people around the world.
Firefox is a free, open source web browser known for its speed and security.
Chromium Web Browser: A free, open source web browser known as the foundation of Google Chrome.
• Web browser "Brave": It is a free, open source web browser that focuses on privacy.
OpenOffice: A free, open source office software package similar to Microsoft Office.
• Google Docs: a free cloud-based office software package.
• GitHub Software Development Tool: an open source hosting platform for GitHub projects.
• WordPress Content Management System: An open source content management system used to create websites.
• OpenProject Project Project Management System: an open source project management system that provides tools to plan, collaborate and manage projects effectively.
Drupal is an open source content management system used to create and manage dynamic websites and applications.
Open Source Software Licenses
A software license is the legal document attached to the software that specifies what can and cannot be used, which may include fees or compensation due to developers and terms of use.
Open source licenses are important because they make it easier for a developer to understand the limitations under which they release their software without having to hire a legal team to write a legally binding license.
Different licenses allow for different uses and place different restrictions on software, and there are more than 80 different types of open source licenses, but they are generally divided into one of two basic categories, "abandoned rights" and "tolerant rights".
"Abandoned Rights" licensing is a type of open source software license that aims to protect and ensure the continuity of the freedom of users and developers and in which the code derived from the original open source code inherits the terms of its license.
The "Abandoned Rights" license reflects the philosophy of open source software, which believes in freedom, cooperation and transparency in software development.
This type of license requires that the software derived from the original software be open source as well, and this type of license includes a set of conditions that it imposes on the software derived from the open source software.
The GNU General Public License is one of the most popular types of "copyleft" licenses, and is one of the strongest licenses that imposes compliance with the conditions imposed on the derivative software, which guarantees the continuity of freedom and open access to the software.
A "Tolerant Rights" license is a type of license that provides more freedom for reuse, modification, and distribution, and allows the original software to be used, modified, and distributed without the need to make the derivative open source.
The "Tolerant Rights" license reflects the trend towards freedom and flexibility in the use of open source software, and provides an open and accessible environment for developers and users to take advantage of the technology freely.
This license allows the free use and distribution of software without imposing significant restrictions on derivatives, and this type of license tends to be more user-friendly and less restrictive compared to a "copyleft" license.
The MIT License and the Apache License are examples of "Tolerant Rights" licenses, which allow users to freely use and distribute software while preserving the original rights of the software owners.
The impact of open source software
The impact of open source software extends to several different aspects, and includes a range of positive effects that include the promotion of innovation and technological development.
Open source software allows developers to access, modify and develop source code according to their needs and requirements.
This innovation fosters and contributes to the development of new technologies and effective solutions in various technological fields.
Open source software is also an economic option compared to paid commercial software, as organizations and developers can save operational and capital costs by using and customizing open source software.
OSS encourages transparency and engagement by allowing users to understand how the software works and contribute to its development, thus fostering trust and cooperation in the technical community.
Open source software also provides a valuable learning tool for students and novice developers, as they can access source code and understand how to build software and apply software concepts in practice.
Thanks to the continuous contribution of different developers, the quality, security and performance of open source software can be continuously improved, resulting in better user experiences.
On the economic side, open source software promotes innovation and the digital economic environment, which promotes economic growth and contributes to the development of the technological sector.
In general, open source software interacts positively with the world, contributes to technological and economic development and promotes transparency and cooperation in both technical and public communities.
Future and developments
Open source software licensing is constantly evolving to meet the needs of developers and users in the rapidly changing world of technology.
International cooperation in the development and management of open source software licences is expected to increase, and global standards and best practices may evolve in the coming years.
The diversity of open-source licenses and the variety of options available to developers and users may increase, allowing them to choose the one that best meets the needs of their projects.
Companies may also be increasingly interested in developing and using open source licenses that suit business requirements and allow collaboration with the open community.
The field of open source software may see the development of appropriate licenses for new areas, especially with the increasing demand for the uses of artificial intelligence and big data.
There may be an increased focus on developing open-source software licenses that promote environmental sustainability and social responsibility, and encourage ethical and responsible use of technology.
Interest is expected to increase in the development of open source software licenses that ensure the security and privacy of users, and contribute to better data and information protection.
Open source software (OSS) may also expand in various areas of use, including healthcare, education, agriculture, renewable energy and more, requiring the development of appropriate licenses for these sectors.
In short, open source software licenses are expected to continue to evolve to meet new challenges and opportunities in technology and knowledge communities.
