I'm assuming that's the company the bought Muse Score and seem to have locked it all behind paywalls. Seems they're iterating on taking people's open source/open license contributions, buying up the project and locking its value away for private gain.
Is there a FOSS license that inhibits private ownership?
- bbarnett 5y agoMaybe they think they're Oracle.
- GuB-42 5y agoNo license can inhibit private ownership. A license means "I own the thing, here is what you can do with it". It is based on private ownership. What can be done is to have all contributors transfer their rights to the FSF or a similar organization.
- jfrunyon 5y agoThere's a reason most open source licenses say they grant a "non-revocable" license. But that doesn't mean that the copyright holder has to release future updates under the same license, nor does it mean anything about their ownership of the associated trademarks (which you seem to be conflating with some kind of overall "ownership").
