He points out he <em>is</em> an amateur copyright historian (05:45)</li> <li>DMCA is the USA's implementation of the WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT), but is more a restrictive copyright act than the WCT requires.

The podcast includes various analysis that expands upon <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2019/mar/13/lf-community-bridge/">their blog post about Linux Foundation's CommunityBridge</a>. </p> <h3>Show Notes:</h3> <h4> Segment 0 (00:36)</h4> <ul> <li>Conservancy helped Free Software Foundation and GNOME Foundation begin fiscal sponsorship work. (07:50)</li> <li>Conservancy has always been very coordinated with Software in the Public Interest, which is a FOSS fiscal sponsor that predates Conservancy. (08:26)</li> <li>Conservancy helped NumFocus get started as a fiscal sponsor by providing advice. (08:53)</li> <li>The above are all 501(c)(3) charities, but there are also 501(c)(6) fiscal sponsors, such as Linux Foundation and Eclipse Foundation. (10:00)</li> <li>Bradley mentioned that projects that are forks can end up in different fiscal sponsors, such as <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/hudson/">Hudson being in Eclipse Foundation</a>, and <a href="https://www.cloudbees.com/press/cloudbees-jenkins-jenkins-x-linux-foundation-google-launch-continuous-delivery-foundation">Jenkins being associated with a Linux Foundation sub-org</a>. (10:30)</li> <li>Bradley mentioned that any project — be it SourceForge, GitHub, or Community Bridge — that attempts to convince FOSS developers to use proprietary software for their projects is immediately suspect (12:00)</li> <li><a href="https://opencollective.com/">Open Collective</a>, a for-profit company seeking to do fiscal sponsorship</a> (but attempting to release their code for it) is likely under the worst “competitive” threat from this initiative. (19:50)</li> </ul> <h4> Segment 1 (21:23)</h4> <ul> <li>Projects that use <a href="https://communitybridge.org/acceptable-use/">CommunityBridge are required to act in the common business interest of the Linux Foundation members</a>. (27:30)</li> <li>Board of Directors seats at the Linux Foundation are for sale, according to their by-laws. (28:50)</li> <li>Bradley advises that you should not put anything copylefted into CommunityBridge — given Linux Foundation's position on copyleft and citing the ArduPilot/DroneCode example. (29:50)</li> <li><a href="https://communitybridge.org/faq/">CommunityBridge appears to only allow governance based on the “benevolent dictator for life model”</a> (31:40), at least with regard to who controls the money (34:30)</li> <li>Bradley mentioned the <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/782887/">LWN article about Community Bridge</a>. (33:22)</li> </ul> <h4>Segment 2 (36:54)</h4> <ul> <li>Karen mentioned that CommunityBridge also purports to address diversity and security issues for FOSS projects. (37:00)</li> <li>Bradley mentioned the code hosted on <a href="https://k.sfconservancy.org">k.sfconservancy.org</a> and also the <a href="https://github.com/conservancy/reimbursinator">Reimbursenator project</a> that PSU students wrote. (42:00)</li> </ul> <h4>Segment 3 (42:44)</h4> <p>Bradley and Karen discuss (or, possibly don't) discuss what's coming up on the next episode. Fact of the matter is that <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/news/2019/apr/02/vmware-no-appeal/">this announcement wasn't written yet</a> when we recorded this episode and we weren't sure if 0x65 would be released before or after that announcement was released.

(02:58)</li> <li>Bradley and Karen discussed that it is equally abhorrent to ask someone else to use proprietary software <em>for you</em> as it is to use yourself, since someone's software freedom is compromised in any event (06:58)</li> <li>Bradley mentioned that he had previously applied to serve on the USA's Internal Revenue Service (IRS)'s <a href="https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/electronic-tax-administration-advisory-committee-etaac">Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee (ETAAC)</a>.
