Hi all,
As you know, I've been maintaining the Linux man-pages project for the last 4 years as a voluntary. I've been doing it in my free time, and no company has sponsored that work at all. At the moment, I cannot sustain this work economically any more, and will temporarily and indefinitely stop working on this project. If any company has interests in the future of the project, I'd welcome an offer to sponsor my work here; if so, please let me know.
Have a lovely day! Alex
Everything needs to be slapped with the AGPL. Fuck corporate America
AGPL on documentation? What would that do?
Creative Commons-BY-NC would be better.
Alright we should use that then
AGPL doesn't help. AGPL authors are explicitly pro-corporate use
I thought AGPL was the more restrictive version of GPL? Which license should we use so that corporates need to pay?
Unfortunately it is still not enough. There have been many instances of people using these licenses and still corporations using their software without giving back, and developers being upset about it.
And unfortunately there are no popular licenses that limit that. I've seen a few here and there, but doesn't seem to be a standard.
