It seems people have a hard time understanding the implications of licenses, so I have written a something to help with that.

I've been thinking about using business source license for my projects. Fuck MAGAF and other companies for taking advantage of opensource devs, making billions and not wanting to contribute back or even support the dev.

Once the Post-Open license is finalised, there's a good chance it'll become my default instead of AGPL or BSL.

Anti Commercial-AI license

Oh, interesting. Bruce Perens (co-founder of the Open Source Initiative) was involved BUSL (BSL) and Post-Open.

TIL about Post-Open license. I've also been looking at BSL and FUTO's Source First license.
