@glacialturtle:matrix.org | wait for the news of them going bankrup and release it under GPLv3 | 19:54:07 |
polyp | GPL is a bit weak for my liking, i'd rather go with something like the BSD license | 19:55:32 |
polyp | seen way too many "open source" projects under GPL where the code is paywalled | 19:55:59 |
@glacialturtle:matrix.org | I'm not sure what you mean, you can do that with BSD too. GPL makes it explicit requirement for source code to be shared if passed on to anyone | 19:58:01 |
polyp | hmm, might be thinking of a different one then. But with the GPL, there's a clause that basically goes along the lines of "financial compensation for distribution is acceptable" - the reasoning was to allow for reimbursement for CD-ROM costs back in the early internet days, but i've seen that exploited. Perfect example is the blender FLIP fluid plugin, they only release source code if you pay for the compiled binaries. | 20:00:48 |
polyp | in fact, pretty much any paid blender addon uses that loophole - everything using the blender API has to be under the GPL due to the license blender uses, but that loophole makes it ineffective | 20:02:39 |
@glacialturtle:matrix.org | I see what you mean now, you want a non-commercial use type of license or a "source must *always* be public" thing | 20:03:51 |
polyp | exactly, i don't want to see shenannigans. | 20:04:29 |
showmetheorbs | haha looks like any matrix room inevitably becomes technical :D
the financial compensation thing is whatever… just one person could buy the code and republish it for free, 100% legally if the license is actually just GPL | 21:09:11 |
polyp | my experience with the blender market crap is that it's rare. Tried asking around for copies of the source, got called a thief 🤷 | 21:10:37 |
polyp | but i guess for what i'm doing, doesn't matter too much | 21:10:55 |
