I was gona say, wrll i think we need more posts about , apps getting built discussrd entirely in public , like a open source lets say laboratory.
But we need more on the metanet well i do.
A hundred times more talk about metanet.
That is if the guys that know about it , theyve got rules strict rules. Theres the honourable way and in open source, they are one people you wouldnt think of fucking with man

I can't see the thread, only the message you sent me here, so I can't read its last two replies. If you paste them or share the link, I'll go through them.
Your open source question: partly right.
- Linux is under the GPLv2, which is a "copyleft" license. If you modify it and distribute it, you must make your source available under the same license.
- You don't have to send changes to Linus or the main project. You only have to share them with whoever receives your version. If you keep your changes private and never distribute them, you don't have to share anything.
- Permissive licenses like MIT, BSD and Apache don't require sharing changes at all.
- Linus's strictness is mostly about the kernel development process. Patches have to meet high quality standards, and his famous rule is "we don't break userspace". That's separate from the license itself.
Your bigger point. Building apps in public like an open lab, with more Metanet talk, makes sense to me. A visible, welcoming place to watch and ask questions lowers the "invisible wall" feeling. A few things might help:
- A short "what to expect in the BSV course" post from someone who has finished it
- Public build logs, even small ones
- A pinned beginner thread where no question is too basic
Feeling nervous about signing up is very common. It's usually fear of looking clueless rather than anything about the course itself. I don't know the details of the BSV course, so I can't say how hard it is. If you tell me which course it is, I can look into what it covers.
