Guidelines:
Frame 3 actually is:
"Thanks for your work of love and passion and curiosity, and freely contributed open source software, I like it! With the help of amassed capital power, I'm going to blanket the market until my new company's name is all anyone can think of when they mention your previously free and fun hobby and are happy to subscribe to my monthly fee and privacy invasion of users which allows me to further monitor the efforts and contributions of others."
That is why (A)GPL and not MIT/BSD, that is why no CLA.
I don't understand why so many open source devs just gift their work and time to big corporations by choosing permissive licenses or signing away their contributions via CLA.
Bruh, genuinely same. I love FreeBSD and OpenBSD, but I loathe the license for it.
I ain't never giving my shit to a billionaire to allow them to make something proprietary.
Should be free/ by donation for personal use, licensed for business use
Topic aside: handmade, floating 3d speech bubbles!
Only $3.99!
Any time I talk about my hobbies, I get told that I have too much free time on my hands, and/or that I should turn said hobbies into a job/business.
It's like people are so capitalism-brained that they can't fathom someone having a passion for the sake of the passion itself, and not making a commodity out of it.
Also the phrase "you have too much free time on your hands" as a backhanded insult. People seem to abhor the idea of someone spending their time doing things for themselves instead of working. Or am I reading too much into that?
"if you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life" yeah well nobody will pay me to sit in bed drinking beer all day so get fucked
yeah well nobody will pay me to sit in bed drinking beer all day
just get popular as a "just chatting" dork on twitch. ez clap
"just chatting" and it's just a stream of me falling asleep because the mornign beer was not a good idea
If I brought my novels to a publisher, I'd have to remove just about everything I wanted to say in them in favor of "nonpolitical" pretenses with a lot of extra pandering, and even then it'd be just for a chance at additional reach with a big cut of each sold book going to the very same corpos that had just sandblasted anything of value I wanted to say in my work.
There are some vaguely lefty publishers that might bite but this will massively restrict your distribution.
Well, I self published already, for better or for worse. If even those vaguely lefty publishers wanted to me to tweak an entire novel trilogy, that'd probably involve massive rewrites too. That makes me wonder what might be left.
Would the vaguely lefty publishers want me to drop the revolutionary war entirely, or remove the pivotal (and namesake) mecha from it?
Oh nice that sounds like a sick book
Well it won't restrict it compared to not distributing at all, at least
Making money doesn't necessarily equates to capitalism, especially if you're your own boss
The fastest way to ruin a hobby is to make it a side hustle, or worse, your job.
Oh hey my dad's in a comic. I love him, but dear lord dad sometimes things that are technically possible to profit from are just things you do for the love of doing them
Don't worry, I make sure at least 50% of my hobbies are just consumerism in a trenchcoat. This keeps the other 50% pure.
Joke’s on you capitalism, my employment EULA prohibits me from making outside income!
I'm at the stage of burnout where all my hobbies feel like extra jobs, or at the very least like chores.
Take a vacation from your hobbies, friend. If you've got collaborators, just let them know. They'll understand
He better be using another folded sticky note to make those 3d instead of regular tape...
