Still, #LLM are voiding the #GPL (and #AGPL) reciprocity.
That's why years ago I wrote the #HackingLicense https://encrypted.tesio.it/documents/HACK.txt
It was designed with automated corporate #exploitation of #FreeSoftware in mind: it's goal is to balance #freedom and #communion, and it share with those that accept it much more than permissions, while being a stromger #copyleft and an explicit shrink-wrap contract.
Unfortunately, it's not compatible with GPL, because GPL is much weaker.
The fundamental issue of Free Software, the one that let people create the #OpenSource narrative and permessive licenses to exploit programmer ideals and #freelabor, was that #RMS, as an American grown up during #ColdWar, was too fond of the freedom-vs-communism propaganda to understand how lack of rules means the rule of the rich.
The problem is not commercial use of free software but commercial exploitation of free labour, as @doctormo@floss.social correctly stated.
The Hacking License does not prohibit commercial use, but requires recipient to share their own #copyright with the users of any derivative or dependant work they create as a contractual binding.
It's modelled after the research of #ElinorOstrom about Commons governance and the #Hacker ethics based on the value of #curiosity.

And further sprinkles here is the #AGPL license on #Deuxfleurs #garage. So whole rugpull scenario gets MUCH harder.
Which btw, is also hosted on their own #foregejo server. 😁 The further I go on Garage, the more I'm really falling in love with this option.
Consistency controls was first requirement. Development continuity is the big second. 😎
Just adding https://endof10.org here for convenience.
A real-life anecdote from today on "convincing" people is that some researchers unaware that #Overleaf is on an #OpenCore model were delighted to hear about the #AGPL 'd branch - source [1] - example instance [2]. I did *not* try to convince anyone - I just pointed out the possibility and gave URLs. And a new (non-public) overleaf instance may be the result!

Not sure how I feel about this.
There's Postiz, integrates with #Lemmy #Mastodon and #Bluesky. Looks great, well-designed, #AGPL
There's Gitroom, Github Library, and Grow Chief commercial products around helping open source projects. Okay.
And then there's https://agentheroes.ai ..
> "Generate, animate and schedule your #AI characters 🤖"
All from the same company. AI characters? Like fake accounts that you can let roam these Postiz channels?
It may be well meant, but rife for abuse, no?
As @hongminhee recently posted about
A new drawing community called https://oeee.cafe (@oeee_cafe) made by @jihyeok and others just implemented #ActivityPub and joined the #fediverse. It's exciting to see niche art focused software using these tools and techniques to share in our weird network we have here.

Nice! I've lined this #AGPL licensed project up to be included in the delightful fediverse experience curated list at..
