The amount of libertarian ideology present in FOSS is shocking

      SSPL is modified AGPL, so pepole are certainly trying that route. I’m not too optimistic myself.

      And yeah, if you try to play by the rules, you’ll always find the rules change on you the moment you start to achieve success. I’d file that under “this is a nice problem to have”, personally.

        I think there are limits to what we can realistically achieve with software licenses. The goal should be to at least minimize damage as much as possible.
