How important is license to you? (midwest.social)

Obviously, the closer to AGPL, the better, in my opinion. But I'll run some MIT, if the product is sufficiently better, for my use case, than the alternative. For example, I want a multilibrary photo album. Photoprism (AGPL) doesn't offer it, but Immich (MIT) does. As soon as Photoprism has that functionality, I'll switch back simply for the license.

My hard line is open source. I don't use any proprietary solutions.

Using? Pretty much all of my possible use cases are covered by open source software.

Writing for the community? GPLv3 for legal reasons.

@drwho @butter I am curious about the legal reasons. Can you elaborate?

I write server side software, so GPL is easy to go around for companies, therefore I use AGPL for all my software.
