It's free for any use-case I'm concerned with. I can modify the source, self-host it, and run thousands of nodes through it if I want. All I can't do is take their work, slap my name on it, and sell it.
If that was your intent then VPNCloud is even less free. The GPL3 license means you could never host a closed-source version.
- sneak 6y agoThat's false. The GPL allows for running a service with a closed source fork. It's the AGPL that prohibits this, which is why I consider the AGPL nonfree.
- kenmacd 6y agoOkay, well then replace service with sell device with the code in it, or put any type of DRM on a device using the code. The point being that any license is going to have some amount of: > restricts the freedoms of the world to build upon, adapt, and use the software for any purpose. It's just up to if you like the terms or not.
