GNU AGPLv3 vs MIT licensing
-
@scottalanmiller that was kind of my thinking that the contributions back to the primary would be best this way you have one system that just works for everybody and you don't have to worry about disparaging differences between 1 fork or another

As people don't host it, though, likely doesn't matter.

@scottalanmiller So you think AGPLv3 is fine?
-
Let's take a poll
-
Poll closed, GPL'd both.
Calling on @olivier to license https://github.com/vatesfr/xo

yeah, don't think that it would make any difference as there is no hosted version of the code, so what would it affect?
-
aGPLv3 if you think some "hosters" can use it without contributing (ie not actually run the code on your machine = no need to share your modification with GPLv2 for example).
Guess which license made AWS adding stuff to Xen without sharing it? So, even if I'm selling software, I'm convinced aGPLv3 is more fair toward the community. /my2cents

Xen is MIT licensed isn't it? Nope GPL2. Duh should have trusted the dev.

GPLv2 from what I can see.

Xen probably predates the MIT license!

@olivier Definitely worth repeating this old post. Oracle has given back so much more than Amazon.
