It truly seems non-mature businesses should stop relying on open-source with "baggage" and utilize only free software (AGPL3+) that has dual-licensing for commercial use with support as e.g. in Qt, unless you are 100% sure for your product lifecycle you won't get into direct business collision with the "baggage" author.
- DonbunEf7 9y agoAGPL is too toxic to use. Fortunately, there's not much compelling software using it, so it's easy to avoid. Businesses should shun AGPL, period.
- bitL 9y agoWhy is AGPL toxic? I'd advise all developers to do dual AGPL/commercial license for all their open source projects. AGPL would guarantee that their work is not used by others without giving back anything; commercial one to keep them afloat and allow proper business.
