The notice I currently have is “Copyright 2023 ”, but I do not know if this conflicts with the GPL licence. Should I change it to something like “Copyright 2023...

Hello! I’m looking for a FOSS replacement for the calculator app that I currently use, N-CALC, that is now not even released in the play store (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duy.cal…) and only available from sites like APKFree. I tried all the various calculator apps on F-droid but none of them supported “rich...

People who use GPLv3 want the code to stay open/libre under any circumstances. If this is the goal, why not use the AGPL instead, even for applications which are not served over a network?...

I have macbook air with M1 chip, I wish I could change to linux but unfortunately I cant so I try to stick as much as possible to using open source on macos.

Hi all,...
