GitHub Is Sued, and We May Learn Something About Creative Commons Licensing

• nodejs-vision

  48 494 7.3 TypeScript

  Discontinued Node.js client for Google Cloud Vision: Derive insight from images.

  

Google also used all of this to improve their OCR algorithms, almost certainly used in Google Cloud Vision[0], but I doubt this was a consideration when deciding if it was transformative/fair use.

• wincompose

  134 2,500 6.1 C#

  🔣 Compose Key for Windows

They are available in most fonts with reasonable-or-better Unicode coverage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_subscripts_and_supersc...). 1, 2 and 3 are available in ISO-8859-1 so can sometimes be used in 8-bit-only text, but I'd use them with care in that context.

To type them easily you'll usually need composition (sometimes called chording) support. Some Linux (and other Unix) distributions still have this built in by default, though last time I used Linux for much desktop use it seemed to be fading from common availability, otherwise you'll have to hunt for another method. On Windows I use http://wincompose.info/ (here [atlgr][^][1] produces “¹”, for instance, in the default settings) which is useful for a number of other things (I first started using it for accented characters like á on a UK keyboard). If you have a keyboard with programmable function keys then you could use its customisation tool to map some of them to produce the super-script (or sub-script) characters you commonly want.

> ForgeFed is an upcoming federation protocol for enabling interoperability between version control services. It’s built as an extension to the ActivityPub protocol, allowing users of any ForgeFed-compliant service to interact with the repositories hosted on other instances.

• Gitlist

  5 2,919 5.0 PHP

  An elegant and modern git repository viewer

Our nonprofit host provides a git repo with their control panel.

They use this for access:

https://github.com/klaussilveira/gitlist/

(somewhat ironicaly hosted on github. Not sure its still being updated..)

we currently don't use it, just because its on the same network as our site.. though because its git and it replicates the repo everywhere its less of an issue.

• joystick

  49 194 9.7 JavaScript

  A full-stack JavaScript framework for building stable, easy-to-maintain apps and websites.

  

This may be of interest to others here. After reviewing the existing OSS licenses, I decided to write my own (SAUCR: Source Available Under Commercial Restriction—pronounced "saucer"). I'm still working on formalizing the details of it so others can use it, but if you're curious there's an example here [1].

tl;dr it gives specific permissions as to what derivative works are and are not permitted while making the source available for others. The key being: you can be as permissive or as limited as you want in how your code is used.
