I said something similar on a previous post, but more and more, it’s becoming more clear to that “open source” and “profit” are not very compatible. The truth is simple: if you use a permissive license like MIT, you will probably never see a penny from the thousands of hours you put in, and while you are struggling and feeling drained, people who will never contribute more than a vague “it doesn’t work” GitHub issue are making tremendous profit on your back. The only way to prevent that (at least, that I know of), is using copyleft licenses like GPL, LGPL, etc. I don’t find many compelling reasons to make anything other than command-line tools open source at this point, and even then, they’d all be GPL. For me, if someone could potentially profit from the work, it makes more sense to simply charge for it. That’s still an option, and we shouldn’t forget it.
