minus-squareDessalinesAlink4•4 years agoYeah, the GPL is further left than this one, because it forces you to share / communalize the code. This license just seems like a “promise” that you won’t try to make a profit off the code, rather than enforcing a de-privatization of it.
minus-square@sterlink2•4 years agoIt’s vague enough to just directly discourage people from using it, for risk of getting in trouble with the creator. This is not a free software license, and so it restricts people’s freedom, making it almost as bad as proprietary software.
