@neauoire meanwhile GPL battleships are lined up in the docks, but nobody wants to sail them...

@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.

@cancel

So some things didn't work out, means you should give up on everything?

Also I don't think that's feasible with AGPL or GPL v3, so examples?

@neauoire

@namark @neauoire it was just a comment on the image and your reply. not really advice on what to do. i don't have any advice.

@cancel

Sure, then my comment is that the only thing that didn't work out about GPL is that people stopped using it, and my advice is - start using GPL unless you like drowning.

@neauoire

@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.
