Or start with the AGPL from the start instead of a pushover license and sell alternative licenses to hyper scalers if they want it.

- KingMob 1y agoYou know Amazon has a hosted Grafana service, right? The AGPL isn't a guaranteed obstacle to hyperscalers sucking up most of the value produced by maintainers.
- immibis 1y agoThey don't suck it up, since they pay Grafana Labs for it.
- zwaps 1y agoI really would like to but from working in consulting I know that AGPL is banned in most companies since it’s specifics are completely diffuse and need to be hashed out in court (or are unpalatable). In spirit the AGPL is what is needed but in practice it kills any corporate adoption sadly. A license that singles out hyperscalers or goes by revenue is probably a better bet. Maybe a license that is more clear canbe written, maybe not.
