- thebeardisred 5y agoSo it's written in Javascript, has a funky license, and uses its own archive format. What else am I missing here?
- faeranne 5y agoCan I use this with a browser that's not Chrome-based? No. Well that's disappointing. I mean, it's license is pretty restrictive, so I probably wasn't gonna get too close to it, but the hardline of no browsers other than chrome is kinda disappointing. Back to the drawingboard.
- doctaj 5y agoWhoa… that license. Cool idea, though.
- aspenmayer 5y agoThe license mentions that all previous licenses are revoked. Is that even possible to enforce? If I had forked a prior version with a different license, couldn’t I just use that instead? Or better yet, a different product entirely? Cool idea though. Reminds me of Google Desktop.
- hansvm 5y ago(not a lawyer) It depends. Some jurisdictions give copyright holders more power than you might expect, if you used the software under the new license you might implicitly agree to such a term, and some licenses explicitly give the copyright holder revocation privileges. In a lot of places most open source licenses can't be revoked on a whim unless the person using them violated the terms. It's pretty common for communities to fork an old version when the parent project does something wonky with the license.
