Okay, I'll bite:
And ten years later, when all developers who did the development for these FOSS products are only found on a sheep farms (because duh, somehow FOSS projects developed in your free time doesn't pay for a 3 bedroom house in SF and nobody bothers to pay for a free (as in beer) *GPL products and all Subscription companies are bankrupt because everyone went *GPL), who would develop these FOSS replacements instead?
- josephcsible 5y agoRed Hat, Grafana, and Nextcloud all seem to be doing fine.
- justsomehnguy 5y agoAs usual, a couple of behemoths are presented as an example, completely ignoring everything else. Should I remind you what RH is a subscription service? What about all other, non-GPL software (and companies which developed it) which would be extinct, because "everyone moved to *GPL-like"?

Are there any examples of going with AGPL having the opposite outcome? > Should I remind you what RH is a subscription service? If all subscription software were like Red Hat's, then a conversation wouldn't need to be had about it. > What about all other, non-GPL software (and companies which developed it) which would be extinct, because "everyone moved to *GPL-like"? It doesn't need to go extinct. It could be relicensed to GPL too.
