@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange every provider of software makes the rules for the software they produce. For many of them, it's 'you pay us lots of money, you don't get the source code, you don't get to modify it, if we have a dispute it gets settled in a court of our choosing, oh, and we get to feed all your data to our pet #AI.' If you want any software I've written under that sort of licence I'm open to discussing it.
