#Paywalling access to standards isn't open - compared to that the anti-competitive #SSPL #license is open despite being designed to make it impossible to do any commercial offering with it (it's worse than #AGPLv3)...

I could at least understand if they said "Available for Licensing under #FRAND terms" if everyone gets to pay the same flat fee...

In a financial landscape that is increasingly regulated and subject to oversight, Montana stands apart as the only U.S. state that does not require a Money Service Business (MSB) license. This distinct approach poses both opportunities and challenges for MSBs, regulators, and consumers.

Hey @OpenSearchProject, it looks like you removed the original authors' attribution from the #opensearch Python client in 6fcc78. I might be mistaken but that seems like it would go against what ASL 2.0 says about Redistribution. Am I missing something?

https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/hashicorp-adopts-business-source-license "However, there are other vendors who take advantage of pure OSS models [...] for their own commercial goals, without providing material contributions back. We don’t believe this is in the spirit of open source."

That is OSS! That's what happens most of the time! Contributing to OSS is facing the digital tragedy of the commons first-hand. IMO better define a business model with this assumption, than to relicense and make a bad impression.

HashiCorp adopts Business Source License, https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/hashicorp-adopts-business-source-license.

I don’t know what to think about it. Yes, it’s incredibly hard to create a business and a market when making everything open source. I’m not familiar with this new license and I don’t know if that’s a valid move or not.

And whilst the #SSPL has it's own problems that disqualify it, a "#ShareAlike" provision requiring public code to remain #public could be added to any #FLOSS #license, not just @creativecommons licenses.

I.e. "Any used versions - released as part of a product or on their own - must have their #SourceCode released in public for everyone to access and reproducably build with no form of barriers!"
