That's why AGPL software can be divided into small ideologically motivated camp (won't use it, but I respect the choice) and "due diligence mine" as part of dual-licensing AGPL/proprietary setup where the point is to trip people into becoming paying clients.
- eeZah7Ux 6y ago> ideologically motivated camp The idea that GPL is ideological and other licenses aren't is false. Allowing companies to proprietarize software and not caring about user's freedom is just a different set of values.
- p_l 6y agoI'm not saying other licenses aren't. In fact, I'll repeat, I respect AGPL used for ideological reasons. But I find it rarer than cases where it's used as part of bait-and-switch tactic by startups preying on other startups (a bit of simplification, but that's non-trivial component of it).
