@meena@cathode.church Yes in the FSF sense we should stop doing that.
Instead use legally enforceable licenses that allow the license holder to sue people who use the source without license, to grant licenses to people who will use it in an approved way and give back their changes, and code available for people to *read* if they want to understand and trust it. Redistribute license fees to contributors/maintainers.

@ChuckMcManis@chaos.social we can sue people right now already if we want legal open source stuff, enforced by licenses, I want to be able to successfully sue corporations (without bleeding myself financially to death)
