   @gargron https://mastodon.social/users/Gargron/updates/8816 lost its way to quitter.se. Could @lambadalambda be so kind as to repeat it?

     @gargron Really depends on what you care about. If you want your software to be used by lots of companies, use GPL. If you care more about software freedom and users' rights, use AGPL.

     @gargron Not very impressed with the thread as a whole, but Jeff makes it quite clear what his motivations were for the choice of license.

     @gargron GPL seems like a good choise for Jeff, just like AGPL was a good choice for Chris (of MediaGoblin).

     @clacke @gargron Most of the people in that thread do not really seem to understand either license, but the requirements of the AGPL3 can be quite onerous to those not technically-minded and its not a very desirable license in my opinion.  The plugins I've written use GPL3.  If someone doesn't like that they are free to sue me for the 0$ I've made off them.
