     @knuthollund @imn00b @sazius Sadly, it's very common. https://identi.ca/bkuhn has repeatedly aired his annoyance over Mac-touting FLOSS devs

     @teslasmoustache @nawi If you acquire the copyright for all the source code, you can continue proprietary work on the product. It's yours.

     @clacke @nawi So CUPS was forked, and now there's a GPL and a proprietary version?

     @nawi @teslasmoustache Basic version is (GPL | LGPL)+exceptions: http://qttr.at/jjo . OSX probably adds proprietary OS integrations.

     @nawi @teslasmoustache More common is wholly-controlled GPL software being parallel-sold as proprietary software to non-free vendors.

     @lnxw48 @nawi  @teslasmoustache Yes, https://identi.ca/bkuhn recommends copyleft project with multiple independent authors as best practice.
