Wait what? This is a screenshot of 9 short lines of text from the Reddit image server. What is actually going on? Android source is still Apache licensed right? How are these things becoming closed source? What is happening?
- jampekka 1y agoApache is not copyleft so new versions can become closed source.
- charcircuit 1y agoThe copyright holder can change the license for new versions. Copyleft does not matter.
- palata 1y agoIt does when there are many copyright holders, like famously in Linux.
- safety1st 1y agoYou're right, but I am seeing other random Reddit posts that say Google has simply changed their development workflow/branching strategy, and that the claim from the OP is inaccurate. At the moment we have 200+ upvotes on something that is very light on information, but heavy on confusion. I am just trying to understand what is going on.
