'Open source' misses the point of libre software.

[-] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 1 points 6 months ago

You're right, I should clarify better. When I say open source, what I mean is totally open and totally free to contribute to, like the MIT or patchy licenses. Source viewable is a whole different can of worms and not what I mean, so I should be more specific in future.

Contributing isn't the point. AGPL helps us keep control of our own computing.

They used to be synonymous. Of course now we have conbtributor licenses

It was invented to derail libre software.
