What are your thoughts? Any counter-counter points to the author’s response to most concerns regarding open source?
…or non-profit… But I agree…
If it’s non profit AND not open source, it seems a bit shady, doesn’t it?
Maybe, but not necessarily. You see, there could be plenty of reasons to protect ones code…
Like backdoors, Lax security, technical debt, etc
Thanks for that pessimistic comment.
Open source isn’t good enough, I want my software to use a strong copyleft license with no ability to relicense via a CLA (CLAs that don’t grant the ability to relicense software are rare, but acceptable). AGPL for servers, GPL for local software, LGPL for libraries when possible, and Apache, MIT, or BSD ONLY when LGPL doesn’t make sense.
