I you put restrictions like this on your code, then it's no longer open source.

- deelly 3y agoThere is a difference between open source and free.
- quickthrower2 3y agoGNU GPLv3 wants a word. It has way more “restrictions” (restricting one entity to free another)
- phendrenad2 3y agoYou're correct in the common-sense interpretation of the phrase "open source", but unfortunately groups like the Open Source Initiative have redefined it to mean "anything on a list of licenses we approve" I.E. GPL/MIT/BSD. Personally I think that people trying to enforce this definition in online discussions are wasting their time, because it'll never catch on. We should stop trying to make "fetch" happen.
