Ok, I might be misunderstanding here, but since committing changes is allowed for everyone, doesn’t this mean fixing bugs is something you could do? You’d just be stuck with all the other rights as well until someone else makes a change.

The main dev made the last commit, so they dont have the right to make another commit, until they arent the last person to make a commit anymore (until someone else has made a commit). This makes sure that there are at least 2 people making commits but hopefully much more.
In other words, making a commit revokes your right to do so until someone else makes a commit.

Am I just bad at reading? It says the right to make changes is granted to everyone one Earth. That would include the last person to make a commit as well, assuming they’re a citizen of Earth. I’m sure what you’re saying is what it’s supposed to say, but it isn’t actually what it says.

All rights reserved by…, except the right to commit to this repository.
Being a legal license it requires much more rigorous and clear statement

That may be what they meant, but that’s not what it says.
- Swedneck ( @Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ) 20•4 months ago
the fact that there are this many people having different interpretations shows that the license would need waaaaaay clearer wording to hold any sort of water.
this is why i hate licenses like WTFPL and its ilk, just saying “do whatever” cannot possibly be legally viable and thus using anything with such a license is impossible by anyone who cares about copyright law (such as say, companies).
If you want your creations to be free for all to use, just slap a fat CC0 on it.

But in a moment of legal discovery, it was found that “GitLab Support Bot” always owns the repository since it creates the merge commit after CI runs.
- PlexSheep ( @PlexSheep@infosec.pub ) 16•4 months ago
- The bot is not a person and this cannot have the rights
- Just don’t use something as fancy as that. CI for a HLP project? Wth are you doing, there aren’t even tests

The secret license everyone gets while working for an enterprise. If the previous dude left, good luck changing anything.
