I should set up a bookwyrm instance even just to get my wife on fedi. It is pretty cool.Plus I still might end up rolling out that management service.
-
@nik @knotteye "anti-capitalist" license encouraging information monopoly for profit <_>
-
@knotteye oh interesting
-
@knotteye management service?
-
@nik Like masto.host for bookwyrm. Bookwyrm's license doesn't require source availability so you can add proprietary features.
-
@nik @knotteye only if you let non-members set the cost of your labour
-
@shmibs @knotteye what is this https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/blob/main/LICENSE.mddoes this mean i couldnt host it on my server that's owned by my friend and i's joint LLC?
-
@nik @knotteye meaning unclear, by my decree you will now be paid $400/hour
-
@shmibs @knotteye what
-
@knotteye @nik well, license's wording won't function in any legal setting regardless, so
-
@nik @shmibs I think you should be fine since you're both owners and workers. As far as I can tell as long as you have a coop-esque structure instead of having non-working owners that provide capital but not labor you should be fine.
-
@knotteye @nik there's no definition anywhere for what "equity" or "vote" etc mean, and other ambiguous language. when the meaning of stuff isn't clear then rulings go in favour of the user against the licenser (i think? not a lawyer ????
-
@shmibs @nik tbh I dunno why it wouldn't. It might be complex and possibly stupid but stupid legal edge cases exist all the time. It isn't really contradictory its just hard to decipher what a judge would interpret it to mean.
