[$] Audacity gets a CLA The Audacity multi-track audio editor and recorder got its start in the previous century; it is a popular application that is available for multiple platforms, and it is licensed under the GPLv2 or later. But Audacity has been acquired by a newly
formed organization called Muse Group; that event has caused something of an uproar in its community. The problem, at least in part, is the new Contributor
License Agreement (CLA) required to contribute to Audacity. | | 3:19p |

[$] Fedora and supply-chain attacks The specter of more events like the SolarWinds
supply-chain attacks is something that concerns many in our communities—and beyond. Linux distributions provide a supply chain that obviously needs to be protected against attackers injecting malicious code into the update stream. This problem recently came up on the Fedora devel mailing list, which led to a discussion covering a few different topics. For the most part, Fedora users are protected against such attacks, which is not to say there is nothing more to be done, of course. |
