@freesewing Speaking of #mascot #plushies—there's this ancient website for a #Tux #plushie: https://free-penguin.org

Does anyone who "gets" open source licenses know if one could just take this pattern and adjust it to work on #FreeSewing? Would be nice to have FS's more advanced pattern editor with this pattern.

(Also on this cool website: Brother #embroidery patterns for Tux)

This statement contains multitudes b/c #TruthSocial is a fork of #Mastodon. Initially, $DJT violated the #AGPLv3, but AFAIK they now comply with the license. I examined the fork & they primary code they added was an advertising platform. Obviously it doesn't have federation turned on.
