How 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
Except this isn’t money going to a FOSS project, it’s money to some guys whose only keyboard is StackOverflow’s The Key.
If its forked from a Foss project then its necessarily a Foss project. That’s why we use Foss licenses.
Right, 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
Vscode 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
