Audrey Tang (@au / @audreyt.org ) will be giving a talk on Friday 22 May organised with our local #FOSS / #FLOSS group, from 15:30 to 16:30 UK time, in #Oxford and online. You're welcome to join (should also be recorded)!

ox.ogeer.org/event/good-enough…

The topic is "Good Enough Ancestor: Software Freedom as Civic Care across Generations". It will connect the software freedom movement to Audrey's and Caroline Green's framework for local, community-governed, more caring AI systems rather than reliance on centralised systems. Tang and Green work in the local University of Oxford Institute for AI Ethics. Tang is also first Digital Minister of Taiwan, and 2025 Right Livelihood laureate. Before ministership and research, Tang was a prolific FLOSS programmer, and since has for example helped persuade Pol.is to adopt the AGPL license.

As many raise questions about #EuroOffice and the #AGPL license ( @nextcloud #Ionos...) my current recommendation is to read:

* @fsf 's "You cannot use the #GNU (A)GPL to take #softwarefreedom away fsf.org/blogs/licensing/agpl-i…

* and @bkuhn 's "#AGPL v3§7¶4 Empowers Users to Thwart #Badgeware" sfconservancy.org/blog/2026/ap…

(1/5) [ Meta-info to start the thread. Here and the posts that follow reply to lots of people's comments (from various threads) together here. Can we consolidate this conversation into this single thread to discuss sfconservancy.org/blog/2026/ap… ? ]
