gpl v2 is still fine for your own software, just make it clear that you’re open to selling commercial licenses under different terms

Penisface posted:there should be a gpl that disallows running built-on-gpl software on a server without source code distribution. companies (especially for profit companies) should not be able to benefit on open source licenses without contributing back or releasing their developments after a certain time, much like art becomes public domain after a while agpl: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affero_General_Public_License its how you can be an "open source" startup with server software

influx. posted:I dunno, 'letting' him resign and give this as a reason kinda defeats the purpose. i have no idea what kind of position he had but tenured faculty and some other positions of that type require a vote to be fired. so him resigning may be in response to the provost or whoever saying “the board is meeting next Monday and you’ll be fired then”

thats fine though, the gpl doesn't require you to only offer the software under its terms and requires that if people don't want to keep it open source then they have to pay you

rotor posted:giving away free software to startups is cool. It's great that the only thing worth money in 2019 is user data. I'm not mad at all that open source has driven the value of software to zero, I'm actually laughing. this is why the agpl is so good
