What made you choose the GPL license for this?
- takeda 3y agoThanks for pointing it out, it made me look closer at it. I normally would actually welcome GPL, because it allows to keep project being open source. Though looks like project also comes with CLA where anyone who contributes surrenders their copyright to FloxDev, Inc. What this means, is that no one can fork it and make from it a commercial product. Many would say this is great as it can keep the project open source, except the CLA gives FloxDev, Inc. option to change license at any moment to whatever they want, including making the project fully closed source. I don't think such project can be called open source. It feels like a Trojan horse to fool developers (kind of what Hashicorp did). I mean it is the right, but if you're contributing to it, you're not contributing to Open Source project but volunteering free work to another company.
