I would understand if Canonical want a new cow to milk, but why are developers even agreeing to this? Are they out of their minds?? Do they actually want companies to steal their code? Or is this some reverse-uno move I don’t see yet? I cannot fathom any FOSS project not using the AGPL anymore. It’s like they’re painting their faces with “here, take my stuff and don’t contribute anything back, that’s totally fine”

    Or on the flip side, they want usage to be pervasive so they win. I mean come on man it’s like “move this file” and “make this directory”.

    these applications aren’t rocket science and providing them under a license that people will use outside of the hardcore Linux space is just good marketing.
