What people here might really wanna know it's that the source code will be released under AGPL (you must let your users download the source of the program they're running).
In my opinion for boosting commercial adoption, a MIT license is truly needed. I know it's not in their interest to do so (they plan to build a wordpress.com-like hosting).
- natrius 16y agoI doubt the AGPL would stop people from providing Diaspora servers. It would just remove some of the incentive to improve the software.
- loup-vaillant 16y agoWith the AGPL, you have some guarantee that improvements will be given back to the community. So while you're right (some of the incentives are removed), you're wrong (other incentives are added). I bet the net effect will be positive.
