Fantastic reply. Thanks for your thoughtful post!

What functionality is missing?

The Sears Roebuck catalog was popular

Individuals that sell billion dollar paintings to the Pentagon.

And they all compete vigorously against one another, behind the scenes!

I don’t want to have to opt out

If the value proposition for users is so great, then make it opt-in!

The fact that they’re not willing to go this far tells you everything you need to know: that it’s user hostile.

This is simply wrong.

Is you release software that YOU OWN as AGPL, there is nothing stopping you from also licensing it as non AGPL, for a fee, in the future. I’m fact this is more possible with AGPL, since it disallows Tivoization.

If there’s a chance you want to make money off of it, AGPL is 1000x better than MIT. Once you release under MIT, a corporation can take it and do anything. If it’s AGPL a company can take it and do anything once they negotiate a license for it, and pay you for the privilege.

A divine warrant for action.

Everything else follows.

Not if the authors don’t offer it.

Which might mean there won’t be a purchase, but the copyright holders (authors) can make any terms they want, and offer those terms right along with the GPL license option.

It’s baffling why so many choose MIT instead of going this route.

Could you have OCD?

It counts like you have a cleanliness compulsion. Which isn’t a huge deal, but if it gets burdensome then you might want to speak with a psychiatrist about it.

Nothing could make me consider Oracle for anything, ever.

GPL with a paid commercial option for companies that need closed source derivatives.

Gold medal answer

When you forgive, you set someone free. And that person is yourself.

It’s a good time to get all of your money off binance!

Well that’s impressive AF.
