Are there any tmux alternatives with features that are close to, or better than the same? When I’m talking about features, I’m talking about:
- client-server session management
- good plugin support
- advanced copy-paste functionality
- advanced window and pane management
but with GNU license? screen and dtach aren’t what I’m looking for, because they’re lacking in features.
There’s nothing wrong with tmux, and I would like to continue using it with Kakoune, but I want to strengthen my advocacy for software that use GNU license wherever possible.
It has got more or less to do with stories about the XNU kernel, followed by Elasticsearch and then finally Terraform. I am not saying that MIT or ISC suck, and I have lots of respect for anyone that contributes to open source, but I feel like these licences do little to protect against corporate interests, and with the growing number of MIT-licensed coreutils written in Rust, it almost feels like this will come to bite in the future, because it enables corporations to take advantage of the generosity of the community, just like how Apple did to BSD and Mach. Maybe they’re unjustified reasons, but I’ve felt like GPL has been able to protect the interests of the community, plus I’m very much interested in the new micro-kernel, so there’s that bias too.
I wholeheartedly agree, though I will need to look up the XNU kernel and the relevance of licensing to Elasticsearch and Terraform. I develop and use R packages and am happy to see that the majority (70%) of those packages are GPL. Not core linux infrastructure, but I an at least happy in my small corner of the OSS community.
Thank for the reply!
