## Licensing exozine and the status page
We recently noticed that both exozine and the status page didn't have licenses, so we chose CC BY-SA 4.0 for exozine and AGPL for the status page. However, it's not so simple: to license or relicense software, you have to ask all the contributors to agree to the new license! The two projects have four and seven contributors respectively, so it took two days to ask everyone. Fortunately, everyone agreed! For much larger projects, relicensing can be a major headache, such as the [Dolphin emulator going from GPLv2 to GPLv2+](https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2015/05/25/relicensing-dolphin/).
## @nvpie's Linux desktop workflow
In [this post](https://nvpie.exozy.me/quartz/Blogs/My-Linux-Desktop-Workflow), @nvpie goes through all the components in their Linux desktop workflow, so check it out if you enjoy tiling window managers and customizing software. The post also mentions some cool CLI software.
Note from @a: I have to admit that as a huge KDE fan, I've never been patient enough to configure a window manager, and I love how KDE just works out-of-the-box. Still, I can understand the appeal of WMs, such as being able to bend the software to exactly how you want it and make it look really cool if you want. So, there's no correct answer to the DE vs WM debate, but rather we should focus on more important debates like Vim vs Emacs... just kidding. (Although I have to agree with @nvpie on Vim vs Emacs.)
