      Is this what you’re talking about? Is AGPL controversial now?

      When did Louis “Right to Repair” Rossmann become the bad guy?

          danb.me’s criticisms and tone are valid, but it looks FUTO has taken down their ill-advised license page and are using an unmodified AGPL.

          I’m struggling to assign malice here; Louis is a hardware guy, and not every software person is really up on what distinguishes free software from freeware. FUTO seems like a pretty small shop; I’d give them a pass on this one.

        He called a liscence that doesnt allow redistribution that changes the donation link or copying the branding “open source”, which it is it’s just a bit more restrictive

        I don’t know, if he had any fault in that, but I’ve seen it multiple times already that people suggest Grayjay as an open-source app, even though its FTL license is decidedly not that.

        Edit: I just saw that you guys discussed that below. I’m dumb…
