Immich has a big financial backer
This one right? Futo, Please don’t attempt to create your own Open Source Definition
Immich is agpl https://immich.app/blog/2024/immich-core-team-goes-fulltime/
Let’s hope it stays like that!
They confirmed it will
Wouldn’t be the first to flip
Immich recently changed license from MIT to AGPL. As far as I understand they can’t sinply relicense to a non-free license unless they redo a good chunk of code from the last half a year.
If they still used the MIT license I’d be worried too.
They would not be able to really. In theory every contributor (or at least the vast majority) would have to agree to that license change.
Still waiting to see any consequence on simplemobiletools
Let’s hope 🥰
Semantic/licensing quibbles aside, these futo guys seem pretty based (affectionate). They even use the word “normies” in their goals/value statement.
Seriously tho, with power/wealth as lopsided as it is in america, we really need capitalist class traitors to get anything done and I’m glad people like this exist
I guess at this point we have to take what we get.
