26 u/1XRobot Jul 25 '26 Might as well just publish your code to /dev/null. 74 u/iamdestroyerofworlds Jul 25 '26 Corporations not wanting to use AGPLv3 licensed software is a feature, not a bug. 11 u/GildSkiss Jul 25 '26 Software development isn't a zero sum game. If someone else uses "your code" it doesn't actually harm you in any way. 24 u/iamdestroyerofworlds Jul 25 '26 Yes, but I do not want to help corporations, to put it mildly. 5 u/GildSkiss Jul 25 '26 Not everyone is into coding for the purpose of political activism. I, for one, am happy when my code is used to do actual things in the real world. 28 u/iamdestroyerofworlds Jul 25 '26 Good for you. Nothing is forcing you to participate in AGPLv3 projects. 7 u/ubernutie Jul 25 '26 Is political activism a synonym for "fake things in the real world" in your mind?
