About the title of this blog
The first title was "Another blog about free software". Later I changed it to "The bright side" as a tribute of Monty Python's "Always look at the bright side of life" (from Brian's Life film). The background philosophy of free software and its communities also make me feel these good vibrations coming from the bright side of life.

Libre software, forks and innovation. Evolve or die!
I think that the libre software specific innovation is not about how you develop the software, but in the libre software licenses. Libre software licenses allow forks: to clone the original source code and then follow a different roadmap: create … Continue reading
