[–] zoobab 6y ago ↗ Yet another LICENSE that will end up being declared not Open Source compatible by the OSI.So much for "open source". [–] sitapati 6y ago ↗ The OSI might become irrelevant if all the open source projects end up using licenses that it says are not open source... [–] zoobab 6y ago ↗ Plus this kind of "Not on AWS" restriction goes against Freedom0:https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html"The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0)." [–] sitapati 6y ago ↗ It's more "Not by AWS", but yeah - that makes it non-free. Stallman would be rolling over in his grave, if he wasn't still alive to write an email about it in emacs.
