gollark: I remember reading about some weirdness with static vs dynamic linking.
gollark: Hmm, solution: ship some kind of shim layer which converts the native APIs to some other format, release that under the GPL, but then don't GPLize any code which connects via that.
gollark: PotatOS is free and open source?
gollark: I should ship tape shuffler too!
gollark: And yes, it is very chaotic, potatOS ships two incompatible binary object serialization libraries, its own fork of GPS with dimension/server support, elliptic curve cryptography with SHA256 but also separate non-cryptographically-secure checksums for some reason, and a ton of random programs, some of which are actually just inlined in the code.
