  • I agree that it’s better than the “open core” model because it limits by time rather than space, as they say, but it kinda misses the point of open-source software. The conflict of interest is that they effectively want to be the only ones who can profit off the software, while still benefiting from the free work of others, but commercial-use is within the open-source definition.

    My real issue is that it seems like they’re trying to spin it as a kind of “open-source”, but it’s not. If they were more up-front about that, I probably wouldn’t care as much.

    Also saying that it’s less restrictive than copyleft is just outright false.

















  • Fedora (with Plasma) and I don’t plan on moving to another distro until something tangible happens. Switching my distro based on hypothetical situations would keep me from ever staying on any distro for very long.

    That being said if I had to use another distro, I feel like I’d try out Debian stable, while using Flatpaks and Distrobox to get up-to-date software. That feels like it would be a good approximation of the excellent middleground that Fedora has.
