How is GPL3 a “fake FOSS” project?
- trpc 7y agothere is no such thing neither in GPL nor in FOSS to be GPL in noncommercial uses and at the same time invalidate the license in commercial or closed uses. This is outright gaslighting, not to mention that the entire project is literally a big nothing burger like I said before, it's even less nothing burger than paid "get Geo/IP" apis for instance which needs at least some operations effort even despite becoming increasingly trivial in the serverless age.
- trpc 7y agoI am still waiting for Joel and the other downvoters (if any beside his other accounts) to list where exactly in the GPL or any other FOSS license to be invalid for some cases including the commercial ones. Literally countless FOSS projects, real projects that required real knowledge and expertise unlike Browserless tried to get away with this but couldn't, why don't you use something like SSPL or go proprietary instead of gaslighting your users?
