So Redis is AGPL now... Their "source available" move went about as well as Trump's tariffs. I'm not even going to ask why there isn't more GPL / AGPL software on Nostr (blah, blah, blah, communists... you know, like Red Hat - acquired by IBM for $35 billion - pure communism). Even if imposing open source on forks isn't your thing, I’d at least like to see a well-executed permissive licence like Apache being used more often.
MIT and BSD variants are... idealistic, but not very pratical. Gain a bit of success and patent litigation becomes inevitable. There's a lot of R&D on Nostr that’s vulnerable to patent attacks, and I’d really like to see the community protect itself. Freedom tech meets corporate greed. It has no limits.
