minus-squaredelirious_owl@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoHow is it boot licking to get money from rich people to develop open source software? Lemmy is FOSS that was funded by a grant from NLNet. Its the same outcome as this. If anyone is licking boots, its the rich people licking the FOSS boots
minus-squarenek0d3r@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoExcept this isn’t money going to a FOSS project, it’s money to some guys whose only keyboard is StackOverflow’s The Key.
minus-squaredelirious_owl@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoIf its forked from a Foss project then its necessarily a Foss project. That’s why we use Foss licenses.
minus-squarenek0d3r@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoRight, exactly, which is why they launched with a FOSS license. Oh, wait– Imagine the money going to VSCode which actually is the one getting contributions
minus-squaredelirious_owl@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoIf you’re upset, just ask them for the source. If they don’t respond, sue. In any case, we’re all going to get the source and we’ll all benefit from this.
minus-squarenek0d3r@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoThe source is literally just VSCode with a different label. What benefit does that have?
minus-squarealt_xa_23@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoVscode is released under a MIT license and the Continue extension is released under Apache. Neither is copyleft, so the forked codebase doesn’t need to be open source
minus-squaredelirious_owl@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoAh you’re right. Blame Vscode for using MIT. Maybe now is a good time to tell them to change it to GPL, so this can’t happen again.
