Given our interest in open source licenses, a workshop on Ethical Licenses and post-Open Source licenses _would have been_ interesting.
I had not heard of "Ethical Licenses".

The following workshop was at the 2024 conference, last fall.

ETHICAL LICENSES AND POST-OPEN SOURCE

 2024 conference, last fall <<
Saturday 12:00 - 12:50 @ Press Start

In the last 10 years, with the emergence of Tech Giants as economic powerhouses, many have started to question the liberal ethos of "Free Software".
As radicals, why publish code under a "Free" license if it ultimately 
ends up enabling surveillance capitalism and the State?
This guided discussion on so-called "Ethical Licenses" (Hippocratic 
License, Leftcopy, Anti-Capitalist License, etc.) and Post-Open Source 
aims to discuss these topics and try to make sense of our current 
options as anarchists in tech.
