That was worth the watch!

I agree. Few issues have a single correct answer.

Open source is the language used by the initiators of the call for evidence. It is also clear from the language in their questions that they do not refer to source-available. In my response, I believe, I also make it pretty clear that I am not referring to source-available.

Although your GIF is indeed a great quip about the length of my post, it also illustrates a broader societal issue. Namely, the lack of time or willingness to engage with political topics that aren’t formulated in short slogans. Both unfortunately for many people a product of the society we live in. I am a proponent of 4 day work week(or 6h/day), for this very reason. Unfortunately, some issues require more than a sentence or two to properly explain, argue or convey.

Thanks for taking the time to answer the call for feedback. The more feedback they received stating similar views, the more likely they are to adopt policies that align with the publics view. Especially if they are pragmatic.

Well since I’m located in Sweden I’ve initially focused on how to set up a non profit organisation here. And the process is pretty straight forward. Until you get to taxes, salaries, expences and such. Even if you are a non profit you still need to pay employer fees, taxes on salaries and pensions, if you have employees or any salaried personnel or consultants. If they are volunteers but have expences well they need to be declared. But all that would be normal business for an accounting.(I’m not an accountant)

Basically to get started you need to have a charter, voted on at the first board meeting. After that your organisation is born. Then comes registration, getting an organisation number, setting upp tax accounts, bank accounts, seeking grants and subsidies, an office(for lack of a better word) if needed. Also the non profit needs to have a mission that is to the benifit of society, a bit of a open interpretation here, but it can’t just be “let’s have a we three men go on fishing trips non profit”. Oh and yes it needs to be open for anyone to join (there are exceptions here. But that needs to be stipulated in the charter. Think a historical society, excluding history revisionists, or that dude from ancient aliens).

Well we can organise, set up a non profit (this also lets us bypass CC2 if its ever enacted). I’ve been thinking about this for a while and already have a framework for statues and a draft for a mission statement. If done correctly there are country and EU grants that can help (yes, I spent some time looking through grant processes). What I mean to say is; you have my axe

Wer macht das nicht! Sie bestehen schließlich aus den beiden magischen Zutaten Fleisch und Ball.

Swede here dealing with the same realization. Although continental Scandinavian is a Germanic language and share the same ancestry as German, eg proto-Germanic, and thereby shares a lot of similarities, it’s not mutually intelligible. I can how ever often times pick out some words and with some bending and shuffling around get a gist of what’s going on. But only if it’s presented in a meme format.
