Gday Maybe I am jumping the gun and over reacting Did anyone look at Chris McGee Gemini site It links back to schema.org https://schema.org/docs/about.html https://schema.org/ " Founded by Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Yandex" " Schema.org vocabularies are developed by an open community process, using the public-schemaorg at w3.org mailing list and through GitHub." Do we really want another open code project and another group subverted by Corporations, Patents, Royalities and those who are against Free Speech and Freedom ? I really hope Gemini doesnt go down the same route as Firefox, Linux Foundation, Ansilbe and so many others because they allow anyone into X group to push their adjenda, surbvert it kick out the original team/founders and push Anti free Speech, Anti Merit,etc It seems the whole open source community has been weaked and subverted to support Corporations speech code restrictions Closed Source code/drivers/kernals Telemary, data collecting, spying on users Most refuse to address that Python and java are crap and so much software is delibery forcing requirements of pythlon, dotnet, java, gnome, systemd, dbus, pulse,etc into it turning linux into windows centralised depant junkware Just this week/month we have seen another open code project sold to a corporation surbverted and ruined - Audacity Why is open code software allowed to transfer to corporations in the first place ? I really hope Gemini can stay to the hardcore roots and not become bloated web 2nd edition __________________ Regards Charliebrownau charliebrownau at protonmail.com Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. ???????

Schema.org is not an official part of Gemini. People can link to whatever URLs they choose. Otherwise we all have our own taste about preferred technology. The main thing is to get the interoperability the way we want in Gemini to keep it simple. I doubt whether there is much potential interest from large corporate entities given Gemini is so limited compared to the web, where they have the full gamut of cookies, tracking, embedded video, javascript etc. - Luke

What's the nature of the subversion in this instance? As far as I can see these are versioned standards. Moreover, this is not an official part of the Gemini specification. The author is indeed using his free speech and freedom to publish what he thinks is a good idea for Gemini publishing metadata. You don't have to agree but that's what freedom entails. > Why is open code software allowed to transfer to corporations in the first place ? "Open source" refers to licenses that allow you to copy and modify the licensed work, not to the ownership or commercial nature of the software, nor the management of the development process. If you don't like the Audacity/Firefox projects you can copy the source code and distribute a fork. This is pretty much the only thing "open source" implies. -- Philip
