Yeah, that just leaves the door open for enshittification. "Trust me bro" vibes. This license needs a better Ulysses pact.
Rossmann stated that this license is to keep fake versions riddled with ads or similar scammy stuff from mudding the water. I'm sure he agrees that this is not optimal.
I saw the video. There has to be a way to accomplish that without leaving the possibility of retroactively changing the license in the future.
Thankfully, the plugins that I've looked at are released with an open source license.
I know I will not be putting effort into porting my subscriptions over as long as the license allows them to fuck users over if company ownership changes its mind or if it gets sold.
It seems cool, but even the documentation is locked away behind a link that requires authentication, so it's going to be annoying for anyone to try to make a plugin. I want to make a youtube plugin with sponsorblock, so I reached out to ask how to access the documentation basically when Louis's video went live and have yet to hear a response.
Also, polycentric is going to need some form of moderation because, as it stands, it's chock full of racial slurs and other awful stuff.
Same way Firefox does. Trade marks. They want to protect the reputation of their trade marks, that is enforceable, and then they can let people fork to their hearts content (waterfox, iceweasle, librewolf, the tor browser, etc).
