People would just stop using Django for new projects. That's a very silly requirement that would turn a lot of people away. That's basically a freemium model. Anyway if it's OSS I can just fork the project and do what I want with it. If I can't, it's not OSS.
- acgourley 11y agoSurely you can protect against a fork - other licenses do.
- throwaway2048 11y agoyou however, cannot retroactively relicense already released into the wild code. also such no-fork licenses are definitely not Open Source.
