| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | very cool though | 12:30:08 |

If you're bored and got some spare time to sink into that at hand, porting MES to NixOS would be a worthy usage of that time!
Janneke might be able to help with that, or at least would surely be interested to see that running on NixOS: https://octodon.social/@janneke/108242800537809932 Was thinking about this project just the other day, cool to see the progress | 15:29:53 |
| Rick (Mindavi) | I'm afraid I don't have _that_ much time (to do the whole bootstrapping) | 15:30:52 |
| Rick (Mindavi) | Anyhow, GUIX now has an example? | 15:31:18 |
| Rick (Mindavi) | Which helps a lot actually | 15:31:25 |

 davidak | legally you are not allowed to look at the guix code (GPL) and implement it with that knowledge in nixpkgs (MIT). but i'm not sure if they will sue us | 00:33:22 |
 afontain | I don't think it's about looking I think | 06:50:09 |
| afontain | I think it's about copying | 06:50:17 |
| afontain | maybe worst case you can do that thing where someone can describe how it works and another implement it and you're sure | 06:52:02 |
| afontain | also it depends on the country | 06:52:31 |
| afontain | (for example I would worry less in the EU) | 06:53:15 |
| afontain | now, I am not a lawyer, yada yada | 06:53:20 |

| davidak | clean room reimplementation is a think. like the wine people can only publish their work when they haven't looked at leaked windows code or when they had access under NDA. not sure how that works in detail legally | 07:01:50 |

| afontain | I mean, what are the essential 4 free software liberties? | 07:24:16 |
| afontain | 4th is about learning | 07:24:31 |
| afontain | I'd be surprised if guix would claim that you can't look at their code and use the knowledge you learned | 07:25:53 |
| afontain | * I'd be surprised if guix would claim that you can't look at their code and use the knowledge you learned [to write another implementation] | 07:26:18 |
| davidak | the license forbids to use the code in MIT code which will be made proprietary eventually. feel free to ask them how strict they see it | 08:14:51 |
 Alyssa Ross | we wouldn't be using the code though | 08:42:31 |
| Alyssa Ross | ideas and algorithms are not copyrightable | 08:42:38 |
