Andrew Would https://git.andrewyu.org/pygame-multiplayer/ suffice to indicate extending an existing Expat (MIT) project into a project based on the original work but licensed under the (A)GPL? Andrew ugh, forgot to place the agpl in it ChrisWarrick ask a lawyer ChrisWarrick (and consider a less evil license) Andrew Not asking for legal advice, just general practice Andrew And I don't consider the GPLs to be evil, I use them for bigger projects while I use public domain (unlicense) for smaller ones ChrisWarrick licenses are legal stuff, so you are asking for legal advice Andrew asking stuff like 'does the US have any laws' is legal but isn't asking for legal advice imo ChrisWarrick your question is “am I interpeting and using the license correctly” Andrew i guess Andrew and why do you think the gpl is evil? ChrisWarrick GPL, and especially AGPL, makes your code less free than MIT/BSD nedbat Andrew: this is a classic debate Andrew ChrisWarrick: PM me, thanks Andrew because I want to prevent people from proprietizing it ChrisWarrick but at the same time, you’re benefitting from Brandon Nguyen’s work Andrew yes ChrisWarrick but he isn’t able to benefit from yours Andrew they could use the AGPL/GPL, and they could ask me for an exception Andrew the greater danger is people taking expat code and proprietizing it, hindering free use altogether ChrisWarrick what is wrong with proprietary use though? Andrew i'll get back to you with an article tomorrow, thanks on your thoughts Andrew meanwhile, https://lukesmith.xyz/articles/why-i-use-the-gpl-and-not-cuck-licenses explains part of it Andrew dont agree to all of it, i see a lot of use of permissive licenses, but not for the project working on now ChrisWarrick do you have a less offensive article? Andrew I'm working on that ChrisWarrick okay
I hope this is clear enough on what I need ... well, how do I explain the GPL to them?
