>>100136791there's nothing wrong with proprietary softwarethere's nothing wrong with the GPLthere's nothing wrong with writing bothyou can write something for the good of people, maybe something for blocking AI spam, or learning languages or whatever, and write CRUDware for other purposesthere is something wrong with milquecucks inetween the two
>>100136791The GPL allows you to sell your software for a profit. But it must have the source code available. Many companies have made money with this model
I understand why people like the GPLBut I can't help but think that some kind of revenue-based licensing would have been better for foss devs looking back. Something like Unity has, where you pay for it if you make money off of it.Either foss devs would have made lots of money, or big corporations would have to write their own shit.And yeah, they could try and pull some speakeasy excuse of "you're paying for the hardware, MacOS comes with it for free!" but hopefully a decent lawyer could make the license immune to that kind of bullshit.I guess maybe it would be hard to prove that your software was used? Idk, what do you guys think?
