Google literally can't even use something that's AGPL licensed due to internal policy. Apple has a war on GPL, shipping outdated versions of GNU tools that still have GPLv2, and funding clang development which has a non-copyleft license.
- heavyset_go 6y agoFor reference, here is Google's AGPL policy: https://opensource.google/docs/using/agpl-policy/ https://opensource.google/docs/using/agpl-policy/ As an advocate of the AGPL, and someone who releases software under it, I think Google's argument is pushing FUD.
- bigbubba 6y agoGoogle refusing to use AGPL software actually makes the license more appealing. The way AGPL wards off corporations like google is almost as though it has a 'do no evil' clause.
