Some people won’t let you use their copyrighted work no matter how much you pay, that’s reasonable.
By all means allow repos to opt in, although if it’s licensed under something like GPL there’s no way to convert it to non gpl without permission from every contributor. I for one am not interested in Microsoft or anyone else paying me to close my code.
Allowing people to pay $xxx to copy my copyrighted work without my agreement is simple piracy.
Either they international agreement to drop copyright as a concept, or obey the law.
- concordDance 4y ago> Some people won’t let you use their copyrighted work no matter how much you pay, that’s reasonable. Is it really? From a consequentialist utilitarian perspective?
- midasuni 4y agoYes, otherwise you’re saying rich people can break the law with no consequences. The alternative would be to completely remove copyright, which would be ok.
