I still feel like it’s shady to keep calling it “open source” when open source is already well defined.

They are not open source. They do not currently claim to be open source.

calling our software “open source.” ... we’re changing. ... We’ll use the term “source first” instead for our projects.

Oh, interesting. Bruce Perens (co-founder of the Open Source Initiative) was involved BUSL (BSL) and Post-Open.

• Making the Business Source License Open Source Compliant
• Business Source License (BSL 1.1): Requirements, Provisions, and History

If you statically link against an LGPLed library, you must also provide your application in an object (not necessarily source) format, so that a user has the opportunity to modify the library and relink the application.

Yeah, I think this is the hard part with Go. I've never seen anyone do anything with objects in Go. Everything is compiled into 1 binary, often statically linked. I'm not sure it's possible to build a Go binary by using object files.

TIL about Post-Open license. I've also been looking at BSL and FUTO's Source First license.

LGPL

The license seems to be targeted towards languages like C/C++. On the other hand, languages like Go do a lot of static linking, so it may be impossible to comply with this license in Go.

MPL may be a good alternative here.

you don’t care that much about the AGPL clauses (e.g. because your app isn’t a server).

I've been thinking about this recently... Let's say you develop some local CLI. You think it's not a server, so you license as GPL.

Later someone comes and offers your CLI as SaSS. They write the server piece that just calls your local CLI on their server and pipes the input and output between the user.

So... should you always prefer AGPL over GPL?

Every car I've owned has had a way to change the speedometer from freedom units to ✨ metric ✨ .

For knowing what speed I should be going, I roughly follow these numbers. (Note, these are not equivalent.)

• 35mph -> 50km/h
• 60mph -> 100km/h
• 70mph ->110km/h

Also, very roughly 10km ≈ 5mi.

However, most of the time I just follow the flow of traffic.

I voluntarily switched to metric like 10 years ago, so meters, celsius, grams, etc make more sense to me now.

This idiom may seem vulgar and offensive at first glance, but it has a deeper meaning that reflects the culture and mentality of the Spanish people.

... Do what the kid says.

What's this in Spanish?
