I'm glad Uriel is dead and gone, desu.

As long as Plan 9 remains GPL there is no reason not to try it. I blame the lack of popularity on not using GPL sooner.

Hey I remember you from the last thread. Did you install 9front right?
What the fuck is this?
>>61224078
I'm probably doing everything from a live CD since I got no installer. Pretty ironic since when I tried 9front standalone on my laptop, I wanted to do things in the live CD but only got an installer.

new obscure meme OS
kids got tired of templeOS
>>61224006
>>61224182
This shit looks like a poor TempleOS clone
>>61224182
how is this obscure, or new
it's from the fucking 90s and everybody hears about it on uni
oh wait
>>61224231
kids haven't
What's the point of this thread
>>61224182
It's just some autist that heard about it from a sticker thread.
>>61224281
Wrong you illiterate faggot.
>>61223982
While Harvey OS forked from that GPL release of Plan9, other than that we didn't see much excitement from pretty much any developer. I don't understand it, just like I don't understand those 9front fags not moving from their "LOL I don't even fucking know anymore" licence over to the GPL release.

imo it has a bunch of bad ideas but i like how the desktop works
by throwing away all the terminal emulation stuff they have programs that take over the terminal window and it's kinda cool
>>61224549
actually 9front went full blown cuck licence.
>>61224719
>bold
actually that's a stupid move. they didn't have the right to relicence the code (other what they written themselves). this does poisen 9front. if someone thinks about putting 9front code into GPL'd fork because MIT is "compatible" might head straight into a lawsuit.
>>61224797
first of all most of the FAQ is sarcasm
second of all only the 9front additions are MIT, so who gives a fuck
>>61224819
if you took a minute and looked at their source you would have noticed they removed all licencing notices. no 3rdparty can now know what's what. they basically made their code closed source because it's completly unusable by anyone else now. obiously I give a fuck.
>>61225058
If this is true is an idiot move, then again is what happens when you license in MIT/BSD
>>61225179
The previous Licence was "Lucient Public Licence" though. While this is a similar cuckly licence it's just not the same.
Since they're not using git.... I'd asume they lost track of who wrote what and when. So they couldn't take their own code out anymore.
This leads to two possible candidates for suing a 3rdparty using their code. first the original copyright holder of plan9, and second a random (or previous) 9front developer that didn't authorise the rest of 9front to re-licence his part of the code contribution and feel like his code got "stolen".
Ha.... stupid shit is stupid.
>>61225292
Jesus, what a retarded way to kill a project
man am i glad that everyone on /g/ seems to practice law, where would we be without armchair lawyers?
>>61225389
well, do you think this is a wrong interpretation? Let's hear your legal view, then.
>>61225433
i don't have a legal view because i don't like to pretend i'm a lawyer (a truly pitiful profession, by the way) and talk out of my ass
>>61225448
You don't have to be a lawyer to understand that only the copyright holder can re-licence his property or give someone else the authority to do so.
Those who released the GPL'd source of Plan9 got permission from the copyright holder. They even put the whole exchange (mails) out for everyone to see.
9front could at anytime have moved over to GPL because this was an authorised re-licencing. But they choose to be fags and kill their project instead.
>>61225533
>whole exchange
oops, that was wrong. the mails they put out didn't mention the authorisation at all. my bad.
>>61224694
>imo it has a bunch of bad ideas
Such as? Just curious here.
>>61227360
the fact that just creating a new user is an ordeal should say enough
what's super easy in UNIX becomes really complicated in plan 9
>>61227498
it's not an ordeal, it's just unfamiliar owing to unusual structure of that part of the os
>>61225058
you can see 9front changes by looking at the changeset history. 9front and gpl plan 9 start from the same source code, duh.

?
>>61227498
Seems like a stupid opinion.
See how to cross compile and remote debugging in Plan 9 and compare it to Linux/bsd

Now I know that you haven't read anything.inst/startis the installer

Templeos is for meme master kids who like "schizo guy le CIA nigger top kek"
