- nerdponx 8y agoDoesnt Creative Commons actively discourage the use of their licenses for code? I seem to recall seeing something to that effect on their website.
- icebraining 8y agoCC0 is a special case, it's a release into the public domain, plus a fully permissive license for countries where you can't release into the PD.
- sirn 8y agoYes, CC0 has not yet been approved as an open source license by OSI.[1][2] FSF on the other hand, do consider CC0 to be compatible with GPL.[3] [1]: https://opensource.org/faq#cc-zero https://opensource.org/faq#cc-zero [2]: https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/CC0_FAQ#May_I_apply_CC0_to_computer_software.3F_If_so.2C_is_there_a_recommended_implementation.3F https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/CC0_FAQ#May_I_apply_CC...

- prepend 8y agoCool, thanks. This seemed like a good service, but I want to run the daemon myself (and not pay $20). I’ll contribute to the project or figure out some way to get money to the project team if I like it.
- codazoda 8y ago$20 per YEAR Just a note for others who see this comment as high up as I did.
- vanderZwan 8y agoHonestly, unless it would take you less than half an hour per year on average to do whatever you want with the source code, I think buying it is the more economical option.
- prepend 8y agoPerhaps I could spend more than half an hour to save others the time. The beauty of software having a near zero marginal cost is that it only take one person to volunteer their time.
