  • SSPL Is Bad

    Functional Source License (FSL) is a good alternative, it automatically converts the released source code to to Apache 2.0 or MIT after two years. It's simple, provides a reasonable way for SaaS companies to function with source available and works automatically, so if the company goes under the users/community are not left with nothing.

  • The BUSL Factor

    Just heard about the new FSL.

    A simple question: I found out the drafting process is publicly accessible on GitHub [0], but it seems that most of the collaborators are not layers. Is the license lawyer reviewed?

    > The phrase you quoted "harmful freeloaders" does not appear in any of our texts.

    This is nit-picking pedantry. The term "free-riders" appears six times on this site https://fsl.software/. Whilst you might not have opened vim and typed out the words on this site, you've very publicly chosen this license and linked to this text.

    You either endorse it, or you don't. If you don't, I'm interested in why you've chosen a license where you fundamentally have different values to the license's authors?

  • Sentry Relicense Again (FSL)

    > The main issue of such a license is that you can't fork the project when they go in a direction that you don't like.

    As long as it's not a Competing Use, yes, you can [0]. I don't get why so many people think you can't fork a project that uses BUSL, SSPL, ELv2, and now FSL. Just like any other OSS licenses, you can fork. And you just like any other OSS fork, you can't relicense.

    It's obvious people don't actually read the license.
