- wmf 4y agoThere's a big difference between pure AGPL and bait-and-switch AGPL. IMO using AGPL to steer people towards paid proprietary licenses is not good for open source.
- happymellon 4y agoIt only steers you to proprietary licences when you want to use other people's code without sharing with others the benefits that you got by using open source software. Use others to gain an advantage, then pull up the ladder after you. I'm not surprised that large corporations want to have their cake, eat it and not pay for it but it's not a compelling argument for people producing opensource software
- pierotofy 4y agoDual licensing deals can fund work on the AGPL code, which is good. It’s not ideal and has some compromises, but should not be discarded.
