The Sears Roebuck catalog was popular

So freaking great

Individuals that sell billion dollar paintings to the Pentagon.

And incredibly professional, given the circumstances.

I saw your previous post but didn’t comment.

IMO KDE neon is just phenomenal. Try the live CD before you make a choice.

Especially in a competitive market where compelling alternatives exist.

Especially in tech.

And especially in software.

The VLC team are heroes. Three cheers.

I don’t want to have to opt out

If the value proposition for users is so great, then make it opt-in!

The fact that they’re not willing to go this far tells you everything you need to know: that it’s user hostile.

That’s helpful, but why declare a 50% devaluation? Isn’t that just determined once you peg to the dollar and float your currency?

Totally agree

Your contributors must attribute copyright or agree to any reason license if you choose this. (This seems so obvious to me that I didn’t mention it)

But it’s still strictly superior to MIT licensing, which has the same requirement (since that’s part of copyright law, not party is the license itself), while still preventing commercial adoption under a different license.

What does he say this achieves? What is his endgame with respect to the devaluation?

Holy title

This is simply wrong.

Is you release software that YOU OWN as AGPL, there is nothing stopping you from also licensing it as non AGPL, for a fee, in the future. I’m fact this is more possible with AGPL, since it disallows Tivoization.

If there’s a chance you want to make money off of it, AGPL is 1000x better than MIT. Once you release under MIT, a corporation can take it and do anything. If it’s AGPL a company can take it and do anything once they negotiate a license for it, and pay you for the privilege.

I don’t really understand your argument.

Tell me you’re insecure about your AI tech without telling me you’re insecure about your AI tech.

As it was foretold… by being a Google product

Preach

Not if the authors don’t offer it.

Which might mean there won’t be a purchase, but the copyright holders (authors) can make any terms they want, and offer those terms right along with the GPL license option.

It’s baffling why so many choose MIT instead of going this route.

Nothing could make me consider Oracle for anything, ever.

X2go is a great option.
