I laugh when mega-sites/companies do something okay towards the opensource community. (release some old code or help fund a project) and everyone instantly gives them a handjob. While %20+ of their project's code is created and maintained by random nerds spreed out across the planet for free.
The days of being in love of the idea of opensource is dead. All my spaghetti code is released under open for noncommercial purposes, bitches.
:brace-cowboy:
Anyone giving their labour to 100 of the top 500 companies for free has lost their goddamn mind.
Do you find a self-hosted gitea actually useful? I just push to a directory and the web interface is cgit which looks like this https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/
It's not designed to track issues or anything, it's just a web interface to browse repos. But since I'm the only one working on my own code, I guess it's fine. But I've wondered about setting up something with more substance.
Using a standard license would take away the fun of making some lawyer read my 512 page license that would be nothing but me rambling, spamming emojis mixed with communist theory.
Noncommercial licenses are useless. They will just ignore that shit the way they ignore the GPL. What you need to do is build your software as a mod for a Nintendo or Disney game. You have to incorporate IP from big litigious companies like Microsoft and Oracle, in a way which is completely illegal, and completely impossible to separate. Then you have THEIR army of lawyers going after the corporate parasites.

Just using the AGPLv3 license would be enough to deter these parasites. No need to invent a non-standard license.

Ah, the AGPLv3+ (+Communism) license where the preamble section has been modified to include a full copy of Capital
Friendly reminder that it's better for everyone involved if you just use a standard license.
Just make sure to use AGPLv3 to tell the capitalists to eat shit and die, but in proper legalese.
I'm fond of a "go fuck yourself" license
IMO that is open source. The FOSS techbros cry that it's not, but it is.
Yeah the "free" part of FOSS should apply to everything downstream as well - but if you want to use my code for something not FOSS you can pay up.
