There are very few real copyleft licenses in the age of SaaS. Basically just Parity [1] and API Copyleft [2] licenses. The rest allow corporations to build proprietary services on top of such software without releasing any of that proprietary code.
The landscape is pretty sad these days. FSF is subverted by corporate interests. OSI is even worth, their entire existence is to serve corporate interests.

- gnulinux 7y agoI'm not an expert on licenses, but from my own understanding of AGPL, I'm not sure why Parity and/or API Copyleft would give better protection against SaaS corporations. Would you be able to explain why AGPL is not as good as the two licenses you named?
