8 months agoI love that website. Now I have an easy way to find all the licenses and projects and companies I need to stay away from.
It’s GPL, they have to also provide the source. And you benefit from all the rights they do.
“Business” licenses try to prevent competition while still benefiting from free contributions, and pass it as “fairness”. But how is it fair for anybody except that particular company? What about the contributors? If OBS used such a license and reaped all the benefits would you still contribute to them?
