That's why I never understood the point of SSPL. Is this exactly what AGPLv3 is supposed to be for?
- Pet_Ant 6y agoIANAL I believe AGPL expands the definition of distribution not of linking. So if GCC was AGPL and I made a web page where you could upload source code and then download the binary, that would count as "distributing" GCC and thus I would have to make the changes I made available (because privately made change to GPL code do not have to be shared if the binaries aren't shared).
- npiit 6y agoYes, I think I get it. For example if your creating an AGPLv3 server application, the client I guess must be AGPLv3 too. I just don't understand the point of SSPL even though it looks completely FOSS license to me (maybe just OSI has its own agenda to freely let big cloud companies just use popular FOSS projects without annoying restrictions that would hurt them financially).
