Description

i got amazed at how searching for "agpl" brings zero issues!

as you know, we should always carefully choose the license before creating any software.

lbry and odyssey already got very big with MIT, and you probably haven't faced many issues yet...

and we have plenty of instances of free software using several different kinds of license...

but, imho, if we want to get real and serious about freedom, we need to go with agpl today. nothing less.

think about it. why no big corp ever picks agpl? what really lies on the bottom of the fuss against it?

i have (for now) zero affiliation with gnu or fsf... but i will get in because i truly believe in this. and i will get out once something better comes up, if ever. history, so far, showed zero better promises.

heads up, and..

cheers! 😁
