  • 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.




  • 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.
