Hey fellow linux enjoyers,
today I found this interesting article which talks about rethinking the underlying data structures of an OS. I was always very enthusiastic about DBFileSystems but this approach takes it even a step further.
It comes with some serious caveats though.
Non-copyleft licence for an OS… 🤢
Laugh on copyleft. If BSD was copyleft much thing would not have borned or being very different.
Copyleft is a way to prevent development. No one wants their contribution to be restricted.
Sadly, GNU is dying. musl, elftoolchain, chimera linux and much more BSD-licensed alternative is rising. The GPL viruses are losing permissively licensed, cleaner software. They have to stop spreading.
Anyone licensing their software permissively is not dumb or need to update their license. They have their intention.
🤢
🤢 on copyleft
The comments suggest this is a cul-de-sac, with OS400 and Pick OS having thoroughly traversed this ground.
You are right. It is not a new idea, but most if not all other projects that were mentioned in the comments are dead by now.
But can it run DOOM?
The SQL query needed to fire your gun is something like
INSERT 'bullet' INTO Demons
