> With open-source software, a license is as much a social contract as it is a legal one Says who? I completely disagree. A license only applies to the current work done. It does not compel someone to keep dedicating time to a project for free because they also did that in the past. People are allowed to change, even if they once released some code under a different license. Is the old code still available under the same license ? That’s the only contract I care about , both legal and social. I am just as much a member of this FLOSS community as others , and I never got the memo about this social contract story. I don’t think it’s true. My trust hasn’t been affected at all. I understand your point I just get annoyed being lumped into it. Not everyone feels that way. (But of course my opinion does matter less than actual contributors to Redis ! That’s totally fair.)
