We clarify the BSD + Patents license.

Facebook Petitioned To Change License For ReactJS – Slashdot

I started to begin to suspect that ReactJs license is not compatible with GPL and other free-as-in-freedom software licenses. It looks like a Trojan horse to me, trying to undermine Free Software nastily using patents in a clever way.
Patents on software shouldn’t be conceded
I want to dive a little into WordPress codebase but modern PHP is quite a different language from what I’ve learned – albeit a little – way ago, so long ago that WordPress didn’t even existed then. Beside reading the obvious official documentation, I’ve discovered that the almighty O’Really seems not to have a recent book on PHP, or a book about recent PHP either. As books from Packt publishing quite often turns out to be “quite shallow”, I’ve been looking for info the good old way, namely IRC channels. They told me these little gems:
Well, they really look the right documentation for me.

tmate • Instant terminal sharing
Today I discovered tmate • Instant terminal sharing while issuing apt-cache search mate terminal. 
The Debian/Ubuntu repository told me1 that
tmate provides an instant pairing solution, allowing you to share a terminal with one or several teammates. Together with a voice call, it’s almost like pairing in person. The terminal sharing works by using SSH connections to backend servers maintained by tmate upstream developers; teammates need to be given a randomly-generated token to be able to join a session.
tmate is a modified version of tmux, and uses the same configurations such as keybindings, color schemes etc.
That’s nice and sweet.
