@river@lingo.lol @yojimbo@masto.hackers.town @chadmccullough@mastodon.bsd.cafe @elementary@mastodon.social The BSD license requires attribution to the copyright holder. It's possible some changes wouldn't fall under any reasonable person's understanding of copyright (transformative changes to whitespace, for example).

@netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org @river@lingo.lol @chadmccullough@mastodon.bsd.cafe @elementary@mastodon.social Is there some discussion around code that doesn't have a copyrightable status, being used in the BSDs? e.g. "written by the US government" which I think means "does not have copyright applied to it"? I'd love to read opinions from people who know what they're talking about, rather than people like me who aren't students of law :-)
