Looking forward what we will be able to achieve as NPO from now on!!!
Happy to be part of @arXiv@mathstodon.xyz
The last days of @arXiv@mathstodon.xyz as part of Cornell University are here, only 2 days left until arXiv Inc.
I am looking forward to support the new NPO! #arXiv

@anthk@neopaquita.es The check on TeX Live is so badly outdated (16 years!!!!) that I can only laugh. The license situation and status back then was a hugely different topic.
Current #texlive has gone through full reviews from various distributions, so you might update your statements for about 2 decades to get better results.

Yeah yeah, but let us introduce more required ID checks for websites, just to get more and more days stolen.
Everyone warned about exactly this, but politicians are too stupid to understand.

And I thought it cannot get wrose ... now even the Scheme community is getting into the same eternal discussions like Linux, Debian, all of FOSS. Depressing seeing the same type of people playing the same type of games again and again.
Do they really define themselves only in one way?
Good morning arXiv Inc. @arXiv@mathstodon.xyz
We are officially now an NPO. Go Go Go Open Science!
Replying to
@anthk@neopaquita.es Yes, even a full TeX Live would work. Lots of Linux Distributions which are very strict on licensing do include all of TeX Live (Debian, Fedora, ...).
Concerning Gnuplot - what is your problem with this license? Again, all major distributions contain gnuplot, because it is a FOSS compatible license.
