Seems nice and I will give it a try! Now a question: there is some obvious reason for using AGPL for a desktop GUI application (not a web app, a server, etc.)?

Now a question: there is some obvious reason for using AGPL for a desktop GUI application (not a web app, a server, etc.)? AGPL would be my license to go in the later cases, so it would protect the project from being SaaSSed, but I could not find an advantage for graphical desktop apps yet.
- rhabarba 5y agoI would guess that it’s because of the Qt libraries, but this is just an assumption.
- detaro 5y agoUsing Qt does not require you to use (A)GPL, and it had that license before it used Qt.
- dragonwriter 5y agoDesktop GUI apps can be SaaSed by tying them to a virtual desktop. Or it could be using AGPL components.
- geraldbrandt 5y agoI honestly can't remember why I chose the AGPL.
- wizzwizz4 5y agoLots of desktop programs are being turned into “VNC in your browser”-type things. Maybe that was it?
