It’s amazing how much FUD there is over GPL/AGPL. I’ve seen at least 10 posts on this thread saying you have to open source your commercial software if you use the new Redis. I don’t know how there could be such a fundamental misunderstanding of one of the most common software licenses out there.

- kstrauser 1y agoI know, right? Corpos have done a great job convincing devs of the “dangers” of copyleft licenses, in favor of permissive licenses that purely coincidentally just happen to benefit those commercial users.
- Orygin 1y agoEven users of APGL sometimes are clueless about its reach. One example is minio which is AGPL now, and the dev regularly make false statements about the license on their github: https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/13308#issuecomment-929254690 https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/13308#issuecomment-929...
