Personally, I also think that much of the hate which one would find e.g. on reddit or the orange site against copyleft licenses in general, and the GPL specifically was probably astroturfing from corporations for which it was just an obstacle to appropiate more work for the commons for free. The same is true, by the way for the GNU Guix project: Very few arguments against it are logical or really hold water. It is, for example, perfectly possile to publish a Guix channel for a commercial game or proprietary software - just as you can do with a docker image. And the way Guix takes care of dependencies and updates makes it probably the easiest way to do such. The reason for the hate is likely something else: That you can’t commercialise the whole ecosystem. For example, you can’t use the Guix infrastructure to promote or advertise commercial, non+free stuff.

What a shitty choice of a license. Typical EU legal garbage full of duplications and “lawyers” thinking “more is better”. Also: The provisions of this Licence can be accepted by clicking on an icon ‘I agree’ placed under the bottom of a window displaying the text of this Licence or by affirming consent in any other similar way, in accordance with the rules of applicable law. Clicking on that icon indicates your clear and irrevocable acceptance of this Licence and all of its terms and conditions. Lol, these morons. Of course the EU pencil pushers would hyperfixate on “clicking a button”. /a European

I understand why you’d want to avoid MIT, but as someone who generally favours the AGPL for everything I do, I’m curious why you opted for the EUPL instead.

Not good enough. Companies are still allowed to use this software freely, make massive profits without anything going to the developer. It is truly free labor. They are even allowed to modify it, even make derivative work, without open sourcing it, as long as they don’t distribute said derivative work.

I read the EIPL-1.2 license and i think is very interessing, though i don’t think i will switch from GPL or AGPL because i don’t have much of an idea of what advantages it could give me, anyone who is more proeficent with legal stuff than me could help?

First time hearing about this license. This is free, too. So good job for changing it!

It’s good start, but is it kind of too late given how easy ai using our code to train their model. I appreciate their hardwork, but I hope someone can find a good solution to stop ai abusing open source repo.
