    I usually push AGPL in my own projects since I need to convince libs, it's a good rec!

    I've looked into anti-capitalist licenses and I like them, but I also know that FOSS groups label them as non-free software because of said libertarian capitalist tendencies. I also want there to be a legal entity to go sue people for violations, since a license is only as good as its enforceability.

      Unfortunately that legal entity has to sue in bourgeois courts, so it's necessarily disadvantaged.

      The people need FOSS but software licenses aren't liberatory vehicles in their own right.

        Oh absolutely. And to be clear I'm not trying to sit on my hands or whine about anti-capitalist licenses, just thinking about how we could realize efficacious ones and what we can do before revolution.

          Lol I am whining about the anti-cap licenses.

          They're well meaning but infinitely more utopian than the various flavors of GPL which are already incredibly utopian.
