@cwg1231 @alexia Open source developers need to make a living under capitalism, but if they do so by writing proprietary software then they’re not open source developers because their software isn’t open source (ignoring the fact that they could be developing other open source software, but the point is that non-commercial licenses are neither free nor open source, which is in fact explicitly stated on the OQL’s website). I’m not missing the point, I’m suggesting AGPL as a compromise that doesn’t make the software non-free but still puts off companies enough that they might buy a license.

The Minio thing is referring to the fact that it was recently put into maintenance only mode in favour of a proprietary fork called “Minio AIStor”. Minio apparently had a requirement that contributions be licensed under Apache-2.0 to project maintainers only, which is essentially equivalent to a CLA (it gives unequal rights to project maintainers and allows them to make a proprietary fork, as they did). AGPL would’ve prevented this if it wasn’t for that.

Personally, I have no idea what I will do to make a living when I finish full-time education. I don’t want to write proprietary software. My plan is to get elected as a politician, introduce UBI (and generally attempt to improve society), then when I’m done resign and write free software. This does seem quite difficult and likely to fail though.
