Inkscape maybe?

I’ve used Silhouette Studio for this exact thing.

The basic edition is free, and has all the snap to alignments you’re looking for. The pro version ($100) lets you save as an SVG, PNG, or PDF, so printing what you make shouldn’t be an issue. It’s a lot more powerful piece of software than I expected it to be.

Also, PosteRazor is great for printing a large wall poster from multiple smaller sheets(A4/A3 etc).

GPL3. Has an online version and a downloadable version.

If you plan on doing it on a regular basis, you might want to try latex. This is going to be hard on the first one or two poster but on the long run it can save a lot of time…

Scribus is an excellent libre desktop publishing program.

I used to write a small postcard game for the “Wish you were here” jam, but it is suited to any job up to professional level.

You’ll need some kind of database if you want recommendations… Listenbrainz’s data is open, so you might find some self-hosted service that uses that database and local history for recomendations, but… why not just contributing your scrobbles to that awesome project?

They do require an email for signup, but IMO they are trustworthy and you can just use some anonymous email if it’s important to you to really stay anonymous.

I think NeoBackup can export the secrets, but that requires a rooted device. Worst case would be that you have to re-enable TOTP on every service you have

spacecowboy, in Atuin is an open-source shell command history app for Linux with syncing, unlimited history, and with contextual search

I don’t have a clue what any of what that means but I’m a big discworld fan so I love the choice of name.

If the license you use is reallu permissive, it does not forbid the change to more restricted (copyleft). You also can use separate licences for code and resourses.

I was worried about possibly needing to change license.

I’d rather ask the contributors to consent to licensing their code under the new license. You don’t need the copyright in the hand of one entity to change license, it’s enough if all copyright holders agree.

The situation is made seemingly complicated by the possible need to use copylefted images

WDYM by “images”?

As in art assets? I’m not sure those would even be infectious. I think it’s possible to even use non-free assets in a GPL’d application. It may be better to treat them as such to keep the licensing simple though.

Even then, it’s usually possible to “upgrade” permissively licensed code (such as Apache 2.0) to a copyleft license as long as the original license’s conditions are still met which usually involves denoting which parts of the code is also available under the permissive license.

Methinks somebody missed the memo what open source means.

turbowafflz, in How do I make contributors to my project transfer copyright to me?

Don’t. You’re just going to lose potential contributors and users.

ShustOne, in How do I make contributors to my project transfer copyright to me?

I’d really advise against forcing all code contributions to be copyrighted to you. It doesn’t send a great message to contributors. It also gets murky if any libraries are used.

skami, in How do I make contributors to my project transfer copyright to me?

I am not a lawyer this is not legal advice.

Search for copyright assignment agreements, there are a few good template documents. I’d request a signed document instead of simply stating it in the PR. In all cases I would recommend verifying the document and process by a lawyer before you start using it.

Also, I would consider not requiring copyright assignment if at all possible for the project in question.
