@aral GPL is not free. It severely limits my freedom wherever I get close to it.

@cooliopenguin We’re not talking about the freedom of business to close it off. We’re talking about the freedom to keep it open. -
@aral it's not a license, it's a dogma. A dogma, by definition, can't be "free" -
@cooliopenguin Let’s agree to disagree on that. I believe we know what we’re doing on a core decision affecting our platform :) -
@aral sure. You are free to do what you feel you need to. I'd just take the freedom of staying away from it when it makes me unfree :) -
@cooliopenguin We’ll still be there to welcome you when you reconsider :) (Seriously, do take a look before you dismiss it due to GPL.) -
@aral my problem is that from what I do I immediately know a number of things I can NOT do due to GPL which are quite important to me.

@aral Since the infrastructure is meant to be a service, GPL is the new BSD and can be closed. Have you considered AGPL to assure freedom? -
@nn81 Yep. Now looking into that :) -
@aral If in doubt about the differences, just ask. I write tools to check licenses as a full-time job: https://github.com/triplecheck/reporter … Happy to help -
@nn81 Neat, thank you :)

@aral you've prob answered this before but how is this all funded 'long term' beyond initial crowd funding? Will device sales fund indienet? -
@nathanpitman Hey man, several streams we’re considering: a pay-for version of clients to compete on UX, backup, etc. services, devices :) -
@aral thanks. Good to hear. In regards to heartbeat, be sure to learn from@appdotnet -
@nathanpitman Thanks, man. We’re very different to@AppDotNet in approach and architecture. But last I checked they were a successful niche.

@aral@glynmoody GNU AGPL would fit better, I suppose it’s going to be web interfaces ;-) -
@hugoroyd We’ll choose whatever is the license that protects freedom the best. v3 appears to be that at the moment…+@glynmoody -
@aral@glynmoody yes, version 3, GNU Affero General Public License https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0 … -
@hugoroyd@glynmoody Am I mistaken, afaik v3 also covers network uses, no? -
@aral@glynmoody no, not the plain GPL, only the AGPL. Section 13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
