I had originally asked in this thread if we should allow non-copyleft open source projects on this community at all, but I didn’t get enough responses to come to a decision, so I will still continue to allow non-copyleft until further notice. Instead, I decided on this as the alternative: When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title.

For example: “Lemmy: Building a federated alternative to reddit in rust (AGPL-3.0)”

It doesn’t have to be formatted exactly like that, but please at least include the acronym of the license, and the version number if there is one. At some point, I will start removing new posts that do not follow this rule, but I won’t start doing that right now to allow for a transition period.

I’m open to feedback on this, comment them below.

    Good balanced decision imho

      I agree with this. If mods think that enforcement is necessary the rules should at least be made more concise. (only the list, shorter text)
