That is a fair criticism, I am aware of the AGPL license shortcomings.
I just picked up the more restrictive license at the beginning - being a sole funder and not working on this full time etc. I simply did not want somebody (e.g. a big company with a big team) grabbing my code along the way and running away with it.
Since now Titanoboa got to the shape I envisioned it to be in I am starting to focus more on adoption, so yes I am definitely thinking about switching to less restrictive license since it will probably help.
Also at the beginning I was not aware how badly AGPL is perceived (I always thought if it was good for Mongo it could work for me, but I may have been wrong).
- cstuder 6y agoYou misunderstood, it's not you who's being criticized. n8n used to write "open source" on their webpage while publishing the product with a proprietary license. A lot of discussions ensued. https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/issues/40 https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/issues/40
- newcrobuzon 6y agoOh really? Wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the link!

Sounds like a great reason to use the AGPL! Can always switch the license for later releases as you gain traction.
