Listen "News: Sentry’s Fair Source Licensing & What’s Next for React Native"
Episode Synopsis
On this week’s episode, a new software licensing term has emerged in the development world: Fair Source Software (FSS). The error and exception tracking software company Sentry added some legal protections to their Codecov product last year (they are a business trying to earn money, after all), which technically meant it was no longer open source. In order to keep sharing its code with the community, Sentry created a new “Fair Source” licensing category that shares similar values to open source, but also allows companies to enforce non-compete clauses to protect its business interests.In other news, even though the React Native framework is already 10 years old, the team just launched v0.75. While this isn’t a major release, it lays the groundwork for v1 by reporting that the “new architecture” required for support of new React 18+ features like Suspense, synchronous layouts, and concurrent rendering is now stable.News:Paige - React Native reaches 0.75TJ - Fair Source Software (FSS) licenseWhat Makes Us Happy this Week:Paige - Origins Crisp Citrus Hand CreamTJ - Risky Business PodcastThanks as always to our sponsor, the Blue Collar Coder channel on YouTube.
