In word, but not in deed. I'll say it over and over again: COSS startups don't adopt the AGPL because they want to prioritize user freedom, they adopt it as a means of defense.
- happymellon 1y agoAbsolutely in deed. Just because they don't have the same motives as you, doesn't stop it being a user freedom. Anything that shares the changes and improvements is a user improvement.
- ezekg 1y agoYou misunderstand my point. Startups adopt the AGPL, not for user freedom, but because of the FUD that makes the AGPL just like SSPL in practice. I wrote more about the issue here: https://keygen.sh/blog/whither-open-source/ https://keygen.sh/blog/whither-open-source/
- anticorporate 1y agoI don't really care why they adopt it, only that they do. AGPL is a license I can use, SSPL is not.
