copyleft-next VS PWAsForFirefox

And that's why I'm still hoping for Richard Fontana to finish his Copyleft-Next license someday. Depending on documents made by such a contrarian as the sole legal and ethical source of justification for copyleft is dangerous, to say the least.

Legal reforms are unlikely, but there have been some voluntary efforts.

Creative Commons used to have a "Founders' Copyright" [0] program that emulates the original U.S Copyright system. You enter a contract and delegate your copyright to CC, CC adds your work to a maintained list. After 14 years (or 28 years if renewed), CC releases the rights of your work for unrestricted uses. Tim O'Reilly was a prominent supporter, some O'Reilly books was published under this program. Unfortunately, this program is no longer active.

The Copyleft Next License also includes a Sunset Clause: It's a strong copyleft license, but 20 years after the initial publication of a work, the copyleft requirements no longer applies, it automatically degenerate to a MIT-style license. I like the idea - if nobody cares about a long obsolete version of a copylefted program, you may as well to maximize its remaining value by allowing unlimited uses. Perhaps not suitable for all programs, but has many suitable applications.

Unfortunately, a general license suitable for all works don't exist yet. But it should be easy to write one, for example...

Copyright (2021) J. Random. All rights reserved. A irrevocable License is granted hereby: 20 years after the initial publication of the work, you may reuse the work in accordance to the CC-0 license.

Before the License is effective, you may not use, distribute or modify the work without the explicit permission from the author.

While Mozilla deserves some heat for abandoning official support of PWAs, for my use this add-on has filled the role just as well: https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox

You should check https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox and Firefox Container Manager extension :)

There is an extension + companion app to do native-looking PWAs with Firefox, but it requires separate user profiles for each PWA (which means running separate Firefox instances).

There is addon that fixes that: https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox

Firefox does not offer this feature natively so you have to use a 3rd party utility to do it, and even those aren't super obvious. I've used FirefoxPWA in the past and it seems to work alright.

They decided to stick their head in the sand on that one for some reason. I use this as a replacement. Here's the link to the extension itself.

Have you tried the support site listed for the extension?

Open Instagram, pop the window out or create an Instagram webApp.

Can use an extension for it right now. https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox
