“This is why we can’t have nice things.” The license change sucks but makes total sense. I guess Dave Kinne there fucked around and found out, to the detriment of everyone.
Who is David Kinne and what did he do?
what a dirtbag
As usual, the unresolved underlying issue is, how to get funding for FLOSS projects. Entitled cheapskates are nothing new; a generic solution to the issue, would be something new.
lol; Thanks Dave Kinne! /s
Note: This is from August. So it’s been a while since then.
So they never got contribution from anyone else or is Apache not really copyleft?
Apache isn’t copyleft, not sure why you thought it was
It’s always been closed to contributions.
It was legally forkable, that’s what really matters to prevent backsliding of functionality and rent extraction from adopters.
It still is legally forkable, as much as it was before the change.
From today the license applied to the project will be the Apache 2.0 license with an extra line forbidding usage of the codebase as an integration or app to Atlassian’s Confluence or Jira products.
Still the Apache 2.0 license. @schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de is just not capable of reading simple sentences.
