LICENSING: Are you dead set on GPL3?

I was watching Devcon18 and @nicklambert mentioned it would be a good idea to resurrect this thread.

Something about Maidsdafe realizing their wicked ways in regard licencing and it’s all fixed now.

I will be scanning the archives for other topic battles in the hope of bringing some of the early troops home.

Lest we forget!

Are you sure they were my exact words @chrisfostertv :slight_smile:

Well the stream was…and the lapel mics were…I guess I could have massaged it a little bit, but lets say you have put a full stop to this topic.

Looking forward to the post explaining the outcomes of the licencing changes.

Are you still full GPL 3. If you’re not or have weakened it in any way it will say everything that needs to be said. And given the way licensing works it presumably stop legitimate forks that were full GPL3

Thank @chrisfostertv

Yes, all SAFE Network core libraries are GPLv3 and we made a further announcement at the DevCon that we have removed our commercial license entirely.
