We spent some time to research about licenses. AGPL allows us to keep it open source and also build a business around it as you said.
- benatkin 4y agoIs technically open source the best kind of open source? It is open source according to the OSI, but many including myself are interested in open source for specific reasons that the AGPL doesn't satisfy.
- pabs3 4y agoWhat can't you do with AGPL stuff that you want to do?
- corobo 4y agoIsn't the use of AGPL specifically to stop many including yourself's specific reasons? They want to build a business off it, not build your business off it. If the license doesn't work for your use case, the license seems to have done its job successfully.
- pabs3 4y agoThe AGPL is for preserving software freedom in today's networked, service-as-a-software-substitute world. It isn't supposed to be for building a business.
- corobo 4y agoThe ability to communicate is for warning our tribe of danger. It isn't supposed to be for talking about open source software. Intentions and realities are often different. Such is life.
