wait what if you use a GPL'd art design for a tattoo?

@foone doesn't that only matter if you're using it for commercial works?

@austincnunn Nah. GPL doesn't know or care about "commercial"

@foone the graphical representation is at the very most an output of the SVG program, if we really want to call it that. So, not a problem.

@foone My interpretation is that A) tattooing does not qualify as "Linking" under the GPL's definition, and B) even if it did, the person's body would qualify under the System Library exception. As such, there wouldn't be an issue, provided the tattoo artist gave the recipient a copy of the GPL and the Corresponding Source for the artwork (or a written offer to receive the Corresponding Source through some other means, for free or for a fee no greater than their cost to perform this service).

@foone what constitutes "distributing" a tattoo? Because that's where the license kicks in with GPL.

@swelljoe I think I might have to license all my selfies as GPL

I was about to do a temporary tattoo shitpost and I discovered that there's like 50 wikipedia pages embedding a broken SVG.

even when I try not to Do Work, I end up having to do work

@foone You have to stop using anything electronic, then you might be able to stop doing work.

@foone Do you have to tattoo the LICENSE file next to it? 🤔
