Tellusim Core SDK Opens Up For Use By OSI-Approved Open-Source Projects
Over the weekend we wrote about the visually-impressive Tellusim Core SDK being posted to GitHub as a C++ SDK for high-end graphics and compute. The downside was that the Tellusim Core SKD was rather restrictive in only being free for education, free for companies with less than $200k USD in annual revenue, and evaluation purposes. Or you needed to obtain a negotiated license for the software. As a pleasant surprise, OSI-approved open-source projects not backed by for-profit organizations can now openly use this superb graphics SDK…

[$] The RubyGems.org takeover
In September, a group of long-time maintainers of Ruby packaging tools
projects had their GitHub privileges for revoked by nonprofit corporation Ruby Central
in what many people are calling a
hostile takeover. Ruby Central and its board members have issued
several public statements that have, so far, failed to satisfy many in
the Ruby community. In response, some of the former contributors to
RubyGems are working on an alternative service called gem.coop. On October 17, ownership
