Just placed an order for a new prototype PCB (Printed Circuit Board) for makers. This one charges NiMH (Nickel-metal Hydride) rechargeable batteries with charging speed options, support for up to 6 cells, temperature sensor, and USB-C plug.

This is a step toward our first accessibility product for blind people to feel visual art through a haptic pen-like stylus interface.

A 3D rendering of a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) with 4 breadboarding or prototyping holes on the left and right sides. There is s space for a USB plug at the bottom with a space for 3 chips at the top. At the upper right is a logo of a brain with the letters BCE overlaid. On the upper right is a part name and version number that says, "BCE-BQ25172DSGR-1" and "v0.0.1.2026.01.18"

I learned today that because of the strong Moral Rights protection in the , it is not possible for Authors/Creators (defined as "natural persons" by law) to dedicate/release their work to the .

And even if we use 0BSD, MIT-0, CC0, and other similar public-domain-equivalent licenses, we can still sue anyone who:

1. Misused our name
2. Misrepresented us
3. Misused our work (downstream)

All under Moral Rights because we can never waived it under Philippine law. Even with a promise not to sue anyone is not a guarantee.

So, saying, "This work is under 0BSD/MIT-0/CC0 and I will never sue anyone for whatever reason", won't work under Philippine law. The Creator/Author will always have their Moral Rights as the creator/author of the work. It's completely up to you to trust that they will fulfill their promise. 🤪

Sadly, there's no funding for the project, only bringing more human-made, intentional, optimistic materials to new audiences!

Copyleft‑Next has officially relaunched, led by longtime GPLv3 contributors Richard Fontana and Bradley Kuhn, with renewed support from the Software Freedom Conservancy.

Initially a side project started 13 years ago, it’s now backed by full‑time infrastructure: A Forgejo repo, mailing lists, and a website at copyleft.org.

The goal is to craft a modern, transparent strong‑copyleft license with active community input.

A large majority of people confuse privacy with data protection. And lately I'm noticing an uproar of ideologies that claim to be pro-freedom in one way or another, but which threaten freedom as a whole. I think there is a certain copyright mentality to them. Certain misunderstanding of ownership which makes fighting for freed...
