A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Nice, but I wonder if they plan to switch to GPL, or stay with MPL. No mention of that on the website.

The MPL allows for it as far as I can tell, its just fairly complicated since the MPL would still apply at the file-level for all existing files.
They probably won’t GPL it, since that’ll make the fork even less appealing to companies.
