[16:34:53] + Gentoo/rizon Is that free software you're running?
[16:35:21] + Gentoo/rizon I've found that iptables/nftables likes me.
[16:35:43] + Gentoo/rizon That's why.
[16:35:58] + Gentoo/rizon Jihad against "open source"!!!!!!!!!!!!
[16:36:32] + Gentoo/rizon ufw is GPLv3, so not "open source".
[16:37:13] + Gentoo/rizon iptables is actually replaced by nftables in Linux, but when it comes to userspace tools, nftables is hot garbage.
[16:38:21] + Gentoo/rizon I actually aren't bothered to learn new things, but after trying to define basic rules in the nftable userspace utilities, I concluded that the original iptables rules were far shorter.
[16:39:10] + Gentoo/rizon The GPLv3 doesn't say "open" in it: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html
[16:39:21] + Gentoo/rizon It states that it's a free software license within.
[16:40:11] + Gentoo/rizon In most cases, free software licenses qualify as "open source licenses", but not always.
[16:40:40] + Gentoo/rizon You need a license for "open source", so public domain with source qualifies as free software, but not "open source".
[16:41:03] + Gentoo/rizon Well no, the sources don't need to be openly available.
[16:41:35] + Gentoo/rizon You can keep private changes to yourself, and only provide access to the program at all unless someone pays.
[16:42:06] + Gentoo/rizon You can't just withhold the source code while providing the binary.
[16:42:26] + Gentoo/rizon For something to be free software, you must be able to sell it:
[16:43:05] + Gentoo/rizon The expat license it not copyleft, so the released source is free software, but the actual binary they release is proprietary software.
[16:43:08] + Gentoo/rizon *is not
[16:43:53] + Gentoo/rizon Of course everyone is mislead into believing that vscode is "open source", when it is only source available.
[16:48:40] + Gentoo/rizon The "open source" term was actually used prior for "open source intelligence" - where amass information via any means necessary, from where intelligence is openly available (i.e. accidentally made available online), with disregard for copyright or legality.
