I disagree.
If code would be Apache licensed, I personally would consider to start new company around it. Maybe it would not 'scale', but it would be enough to pay my bills.
- mrkurt 10y agoThis isn't an asshole question, I'm actually curious: what could you do with the Apache license that you can't do with the agpl?
- jankotek 10y ago- Consulting is much harder with AGPL. It is pain to ship products with this license - No way to operate under Apache foundation or other umbrella - AGPL is simply banned in many corporations - No way to create 'enterprise' proprietary version - No way to charge for extended customer support (patches only for subscribers after free support runs out).
- michaelmrose 10y agoCouldn't you as the author offer any of the above by dual licensing it?
- fusiongyro 10y agoWhy would it work for you if it didn't work for them? Genuinely asking.
- jankotek 10y agoMuch lower cost. No need to create 100x return for investors.
