To this I say: Hey kids, go grow your own groups using free/libre open source decentralised, distributed post-blockchain holochain-powered https://moss.social

I'm not sure I fully understand - whilst I agree there's been useful legal work, we now have such a plethora of licenses I ended up having to back what I'd call basic common sense when someone was suggesting using a highly restrictive "community" license that had ridiculous intents such as saying you can't use it in this particular industry because that industry is "bad".

The reason Free/Libre Open Source Software wins - and always will do in the long run - is because the four freedoms are super-simple and they reflect how the natural world works.

The last time I heard a comment along those lines I was attending a session by an Open Source person and up on screen they had a picture of RMS dressed as Che Guevara.

All those silly ethics, they get in the way of the real work!

> OSI public source code -> Open Source / Free Software

Can we all please stop confusing Free/Libre Open Source with Open Source?

Maybe if we'd focused on communicating the ethics the world wouldn't be so unaware of the differences

Hopefully it'll spur growth of decentralised, distributed peer to peer mobiles like the new Holochain-based Volla Phone https://volla.online/en/

If you're adventurous, you could try:

It's early alpha - here's the story behind it:

Drupal is the dark horse here, especially with the new can-run-in-your-browser Drupal CMS, try it out here:

http://dgo.to/drupal_cms

Out-of-the-box you've got a responsive theme, built-in accessibility, multilingual capabilities, a security team, and the accumulation of 23 years of tried-and-tested code.

The efforts that are being put into this new product are making it as easy to use as any other CMS, which is a huge leap for Drupal.

Add into the equation things like the new AI initiative (http://dgo.to/artificial_intelligence_initiative) where you can literally configure the site through chat as founder of Drupal, Dries Buytaert, recently demonstrated asking AI to create a categorisation of wine tour events based on the top 20 wine regions (https://bit.ly/wine-tours-taxonomy) I have a feeling that, based on my 21 years of using it, I think Drupal's going to surprise quite a few people over the next year.

I don't just use it as a CMS, I leverage native commerce (http://dgo.to/commerce) and CRM (http://dgo.to/contacts) modules in order to have a fully integrated framework which, architecturally, enables me to create functionality that would be expensive if even possible using separate systems.

There's even a no-code suite Drupal ECA (http://dgo.to/eca).

I could go on...
