No, for closed source distribution. Commercial can be open or closed source. GPL does not prohibit commercial use, it prohibits not sharing source under same free terms.

Unless your closed source commercial product is a service, in which case you don't need to do anything, since pHash is GPL not AGPL.

Cool idea. It'd be nice if calculation and data were transparent, unlike bike/transit/walkscore.

I think this is a good thing, but ideally no bot would be required: if no article in your language, show all the facts from wikidata, eg http://tools.wmflabs.org/reasonator/?q=Q1339

Could, probably wouldn't. Just as consumer, competition, procurement and other regulation typically doesn't cover hobbyists. I'd call that a feature -- more effective enforcement for commercial entities, hobbyists can ignore.

Not the same thing. The copyleft hack on copyright is enforced by copyright holders, thus property (or whatever word wishes to use if not "property") based. Other easily imagined mechanisms for forcing transparency/source rev

by mlinksva 12y ago
Forced transparency does not need to rely on copyright. If it is a good idea, it should be advocated as consumer, competition or procurement regulation, applied to all software.
