The Apache Foundation has declared that none of its new software projects can include Facebook's booby-trapped BSD-licensed code.

The foundation's legal affairs director, Chris Mattmann, said over the weekend that libraries, frameworks and tools covered by Facebook's open-source-ish BSD-plus-Patents license should not be absorbed into any new projects.

"No new project, sub-project or codebase, which has not used Facebook BSD+Patents licensed jars (or similar), are allowed to use them," Mattmann wrote. "In other words, if you haven't been using them, you aren't allowed to start. It is Cat‑X."

The Cat‑X or "Category X" classification means a library is not allowed to be included with any Apache product.

Additionally, he said, any existing projects that rely on the BSD+Patents licensed libraries will have until August 31 to get rid of Facebook's code and find a suitable replacement that has been approved by the foundation.

    Facebook, Amazon, and Google are all created and run by jews. They are the top three Internet based companies looking to control the way we share and communicate over the internet. They use open source tools to build proprietary walled gardens. Just say no to their lust for power and money.

    Former slaves have become the masters. Revenge is sweet.

    For more recent examples, see the civil rights movement which made blacks our masters, the sexual revolution which made gays our masters, and the feminist revolution which made women our masters.

    We serve our black lesbian overlords in all things.

      You are incorrect. The blacks, gays and feminists are not building walled gardens or controlling mega corps (including media). These issues are all tools of jewery to distract you from their actions.

      Lol!

      You need to pay attention to feminism more. It's cute that you think that anybody's elevated black lesbians to that status. In particular, feminism is bigoted towards women of color, both black folks and Hispanics/Latinos. They don't spew overt hate speech, harassment, and physical violence towards minority women the way they do trans women, but it's pretty damned clear that they believe that black and Hispanic voices have no place in feminism.

      I'm sure I can dig up things to cite I've come across. A lot of black women and Hispanic/Latino women are blindsided by this when they come across it, just as blindsided as I was. The media presents this wonderful, all-inclusive, happy movement called feminism complete with rainbows and unicorns. (All puns intentional.) It's a fucking goddamned fiction. Er, I guess it's called “fake news” these days.

      Feminism is a movement by and for white, upper class, cisgendered women only.

        There are also other places it is at play. Like all the female/black comedians who have taken over from the white men on Comedy Central. Cool, we've got women and men of color.... okay, where are the asians? Why is that only a black people or white female problem? Can't you BE INCLUSIVE and point out that is a classist issue, rather than a racial gender one?

        I mean seriously, when that not-Trevor Noah guy (I forget his name now) lost his tonight show on CC, I just went 'wow, really? Followed by 'aduh'. The issue wasn't that he wasn't funny (well as funny as Trevor Noah or Samantha Bee, both of whom I find grating some shows.), but rather that he made every issue a black issue, even when the issue could've been shown to include the wider audience/populace, or other minorities even! But instead it just replaced 'privileged white people' content with 'privileged' (in the sense of being able to complain, and maybe bad PR some things) black people content, ignoring the wider scope of the issue.

        But hey, I'm one of those cis white guys, so my opinion doesn't count, right?

          Maybe the asian aren't feeling funny, so they are present in greater numbers on Serious Central? (grin)

          Duh, the humanity can live without celebrity comedians; why the heck should one lose sleep on the matter of her/his opinion on comedy and comedians not counting?
          Are you living in a so perfect world that you no longer have other reasons to be angry about?

          I'm sure we all remember the Evergreen State College / Bret Weinstein fiasco. Anyway, from the Day of Absence program schedule I learned that Asians are as evil as whites:

          Islamophobia and Asian Muslims, Mike Penhallegon (he/him), Eryvis Halphen (she/her), Colin Daniels (he/him):

          We will examine and the prevalence of Islam in Asia, and the diversity those identities can hold. We will also examine from both personal and academic perspectives how Asian Muslims fit into the conversation of Islamophobia in the U.S, and how our cultural identities can often times shield us from it. With this in mind, we will explore the ways colorism in Asia sets the stage for Asians embracing anti-blackness in the U.S, with the awareness that Islamophobia is deeply rooted in antiblackness, and long predates 9/11.

          How Asian-Americans Contribute to White Supremacy, Arianne Aquino (they/she) & Amira Caluya (they/them):

          This workshop will provide a brief history of Asian-American presence in this occupied land. We will work to understand the model minority construct as well as the cultural, economic, and political ways AAs aid white supremacy and derail justice in this country. We'll also discuss some amazing AA idols to look up to and research, how to aid the movement, and how solidarity and action exist in our history.

          Here's the complete schedule: http://pdfsr.com/pdf/2017doa-oncampus-schedule-bret-weinstein-day-of-absence.pdf [pdfsr.com]

        Except - there are no "trans women". There are only confused assholes who wish they could be women. Or, maybe they just wish they could be less confused.

          Oh my! Should I tell you what kind of a vision the goddess Ishtar gave me last night? I'm sure it would piss a feminist like you right off. While I was experiencing it, I realized that every little detail, every small aspect and nuance of it would send feminists flying into shit fits. And that pleased me, greatly.

          Oh, how I've completely wrecked your precious gender dichotomy and caste system. Diane cannot withstand Ishtar, her torch held high, a shining beacon of truth and liberty. Go back to the shadow.
