Copyright is a tool of suppression by the bourgeoisie etc etc but as long as we have to deal with this tomfoolery, what licenses do you use or recommend, and why? I’m also open to the idea of custom or silly licenses if you can justify that they won’t cause more trouble than they’re worth.
I’ve heard the tale of a Rust DS emulator whose github repo was deleted, but because either there was no license or the license was something dumb, no one was able (or brave enough) to revive it, so i feel like it’s important to take this more seriously than i have been. For the few things i have made i just put “copyright is fake” or “this isnt my code, it is OUR code, comrade!” in LICENSE.txt.
I’m a fan of the Affero GPLv3. It’s like the GPLv3, but it closes a potential loophole where if someone runs my code on a backend server, they wouldn’t have had to provide that source code to users.
TIL about that loophole. im weary of using GPL because i dont want to inconvenience average joes who want to include and redistribute my work while using a different license for other bits. but if my mind is changed i would want to use Affero, thanks!
