Obviously, the closer to AGPL, the better, in my opinion. But Iāll run some MIT, if the product is sufficiently better, for my use case, than the alternative. For example, I want a multilibrary photo album. Photoprism (AGPL) doesnāt offer it, but Immich (MIT) does. As soon as Photoprism has that functionality, Iāll switch...
My hard line is open source. I donāt use any proprietary solutions.
fully with you on that point
I feel it kinda depends on the tool, for Linux distro related I personally want GPLv2.0 as itās more likely to be supported longterm and might potentially be integrated into the Linux kernel due to license compatibility.
For tools that are new or have niche uses I prefer either Apache2.0 or MIT.
also just had a random thought:
does variety(differing license types) matter when it comes to the kind of thing someone is trying to create?
like is there a theoretical optimal license for certain things?
The conclusion of the study was basically that the biggest players should enter the fediverse in order to use their capabilities to scan and police it.
Not sure if that would work as users are fleeing from those big players as they donāt prioritize the safety and needs of their users.
The contradictory problem is that current major corporations prioritize money at all costs even at the expense of their users so their customer base flee to the next best service/product provider.
People are currently abandoning Reddit and Twitter because their moderation system either doesnāt work or has underlying contradictions to what users are asking for.
Facebook launched Threads and people only joined initially due to FOMO. With how transparent they are in harvesting user data at the expense of peopleās privacy I think (and hope) that people are starting to realize that this is probably not in their best interests.
I think what weāre seeing is evolutionary filtration of the web similar to natural ecosystems where the species with the highest ability to adapt that survives.
Based off of one metric it seems that companies structured around proprietary software (zero-sum systems) are unsustainable. This is my untested observation however so this could be true currently but systemically wrong once examined and tested.
So the idea that
biggest players should enter the fediverse in order to use their capabilities to scan and police it.
doesnāt seem to make the most logical sense as the foundation for those companies is untrustworthy and unsustainable.
tbh I also think thatās a problem I have with Freesans
When I can afford it Iāll probably hire someone to remake the 0 with a diagonal slash in the center and make the capital O a perfect circle just scaled up
Edit:
I like your funny words magic man AMDās FFX Blur 1.0 documentation
this is unfortunately over my head, hopefully thisāll be useful to anyone else here
How important is license to you?
