@landley @eruwero @maybeanerd but if your goal is to "commit asset-denial" against GAFAMs then shure, #AGPLv3 is a shure-fire method to have neither corporate users nor -sponsors…

• If you expect to be paid to maintain #FLOSS you need to find a company willing to do that, and they certainly won't do AGPL but either #openwashing with " #SourceAvailable" shit like #SSPL or choose #0BSD up to #GPLv2.

A couple of years back, a bunch of projects started switching to proprietary Source Available licenses like #SSPL. I predicted that they would soon regret it, as they started to be replaced with forks of their own software. Feeling pretty smug reading this ...

"Redis bets big on an open source return

The company is hopeful that changing its license will allow it to better compete with the Valkey fork."
