Thanks for the slashdot link, which also links to the UN:

https://unite.un.org/news/osi-first-endorse-united-nations-o...

Is there other access to the French announcement?

That Mastodon link: social.numerique.gouv.fr, isn't viewable for me...

Disclaimer: I work for code.gouv.fr.

No, there is no official French announcement (yet).

Cool, thanks!

  Cette licence permet d'utiliser, reproduire, modifier et distribuer librement le code avec attribution, mais impose des restrictions pour les opérations dépassant 700 millions d'utilisateurs mensuels.

Interesting they only mention the 700 million users thing and not the other restrictions on use. Personally I could regard the prohibition against basically Google and Microsoft using it to be a minor transgression, it's the larger list of unacceptable uses that's the big problem.

Agreed. If you feel the need to report inconsistencies, the source code is here: https://github.com/betagouv/ComparIA

Curious to know if this extends to LLMs and if so how they would define open source. Specifically it would be nice to see repudiation of Meta's "Open" BS by a nation state.

https://www.comparia.beta.gouv.fr/modeles compares models and Llama different licenses are not mislabeled as "open source".

Also, https://opensource.org/ai/endorsements shows code.gouv.fr in the list.

In 2012, he travelled to France and bought me a beer to thank me for my work on Org-Mode, and it was great. He was enthusiastic about this worldwide half-random connections, and insisted on how great it was to be able to connect with everyone in this way... we certainly miss him and that spirit.

He contributed to GNU Emacs Org-Mode with gnugol: https://list.orgmode.org/4D210A00.9070901@teklibre.org/
