Out of curiousity, would you consider GPL Affero sufficiently FOSS?
- cyphar 11y ago> Out of curiousity, would you consider GPL Affero sufficiently FOSS? Of course it's a free software license (although I have my doubts about the enforceability of the Affero sections in the AGPL). GitLab EE is proprietary (even though you can read the source).
- Spivak 11y agoAs long as we're talking about the GNU AGPL then absolutely! I would say that the original AGPL is sufficiently FOSS but it's GNU GPL incompatible which might be annoying. It's not necessarily a deal breaker though if it's handled well.

It's not necessarily a deal breaker though if it's handled well. It's GPLv2 incompatible. GPLv3 has a special exception for the AGPL.
