@namark GPL is doing nothing to stop companies from running software on servers and delivering frontends via web browsers to users who have no control. it doesn't seem to work well today for its intended purpose.
@cancel Again I'll have to ask you for an example of such a thing with AGPL license on it. For that kind of software the users are people running the servers, not those using the servers.
AGPL allows anyone else small or big to run the same service, identical to the big companies service.
Permissive licenses allow the big company to build a proprietary fork and establish monopoly.
@namark nobody uses AGPL software
@namark (of course, this is being sent across AGPL software!)
@cancel good for nobody, I approve!
@namark @neauoire GPL didn't really work out this last decade. everyone just runs stuff on servers or splits the software up in a way that technically complies with all licenses but leaves no power to the users.
