I would understand if Canonical want a new cow to milk, but why are developers even agreeing to this? Are they out of their minds?? Do they actually want companies to steal their code? Or is this some reverse-uno move I don’t see yet? I cannot fathom any FOSS project not using the AGPL anymore. It’s like they’re painting their faces with “here, take my stuff and don’t contribute anything back, that’s totally fine”

    Thats the point of GPl licenses. You cant close source it.

    MIT is a free and also heavy closed source friendly. GPL fixes the greed

      Yes. Did I deny that?

      Can anyone confirm or deny if what I said is wrong?

      I get downvoted for stating one advantage an AGPL fork would have, and yet nobody seems to be disagreeing with what I said… *shrugs* 🤷
