I've never seen this license. It looks like it will be open source under the Apache license after 5 years though. That is, I can save the code now, and in 5 years I can do whatever I want with it (under the Apache license terms). When open-source isn't an option, then this is the next best thing.
- solarkraft 3y agoHuh, interesting concept. It's definitely a big step above "source available". It even kind of allows maintaining a community version with outside patches, albeit slowly. It kind of rivals the KDE/Qt deal of "freely licensed when the company goes under" in its effects of the code eventually being community-maintainable once the company doesn't care for it anymore. 5 years is a bit much though.
