Another Open Source project drops the AGPL to avoid being consumed by AWS

• zoobab 7y ago
  Yet another LICENSE that will end up being declared not Open Source compatible by the OSI. So much for "open source".

    The OSI might become irrelevant if all the open source projects end up using licenses that it says are not open source...

      Plus this kind of "Not on AWS" restriction goes against Freedom0: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html "The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0)."

        It's more "Not by AWS", but yeah - that makes it non-free. Stallman would be rolling over in his grave, if he wasn't still alive to write an email about it in emacs.
