If you didn't have software freedom as a priority, then why even pick an open source license?
To me they are trying to find a way to make a living, while still working on free software. It seems to me like a win-win situation: users get more free software, and they get to pay their bill.
This is not always possible with every kind of software or business model though.
- jacobr1 3y agoAGPL is a more free license than BSL, which is the most likely alternative for a company like Element.
