You misunderstand. In the analogy, I never bought a second hot dog. Likewise, all "commercial" users of Caddy had the EULA switched out from underneath them to force them into non-compliance.
- detaro 9y agoWhich shows how bad the analogy is. You weren't "forced into non-compliance", you could keep your hot dog (=caddy executable you downloaded before) just fine. The difference between hot dogs and software is that hot dogs don't get (and don't require) updates after the fact, while for software they are important. EDIT: also, you don't accidentally install new hot dogs through dockerfiles or something - it's quite possible people ran into non-compliance that way, given there was no prior warning.
- rmrfrmrf 9y agoAgain, this stresses the need for clear communication. > Beginning today, all official Caddy binaries come with an End User License Agreement (EULA) that designates them either for Personal (non-commercial) or Commercial use. They probably could have clarified this by saying "Beginning with version 0.10.9" instead of "all binaries".
