Arch Linux: Recent news updates
Providing a license for package sources
Arch Linux hasn't had a license for any package sources (such as PKGBUILD files) in the past, which is potentially problematic. Providing a license will preempt that uncertainty.
In RFC 40 we agreed to change all package sources to be licensed under the very liberal 0BSD license. This change will not limit what you can do with package sources. Check out the RFC for more on the rationale and prior discussion.
Before we make this change, we will provide contributors with a way to voice any objections they might have. Starting on 2024-11-19, over the course of a week, contributors will receive a single notification email listing all their contributions.
● If you receive an email and agree to this change, there is no action required from your side.
● If you do not agree, please reply to the email and we'll find a solution together.
If you contributed to Arch Linux packages before but didn't receive an email, please contact us at [email protected].

Daniel Lemire's blog
Graduate degrees are overrated
Though I have many brilliant graduate students, I love working with undergraduate students. And I am not at all sure that you should favor people with graduate degrees, given a choice. Many graduate students tend to favor abstraction over practical skills. They often have an idealized view of the world. Moreover, these students are often consumed by research projects, theses, or dissertations, and the publication of scientific articles, which limits their time for concrete actions. On the other hand, undergraduate students, in my experience, show more enthusiasm for concrete and useful projects, even if they are not prestigious at first glance.
This selection effect is also evident in career choices: those aspiring for direct action are eager to engage in it and are not keen on spending years writing abstract documents. Conversely, those who seek to avoid direct engagement with reality tend to prolong their studies. This effect is noticeable during competitions to recruit professors. It is often surprisingly difficult to find candidates with significant real-world experience.
Irrespective of how smart and educated you are, it is difficult to beat a “can do” attitude. The world is built by people who are eager to get things done as opposed to people who merely want to talk or write. Or, at least, that should be what happens in a healthy society.
