@isotopp I think that as a community we should be more open to licenses that are a lot more restrictive when it comes to use by corporations. Software freedom isn't freedom if we are exploited by corps. Recently I discovered the anticapitalist license which I'm tempted to start using on certain projects: anticapitalist.software/

@piturnah Usually AGPL 3 is good enough to make any corp not use the code.

"A"GPL so they can't host for third parties.
"GPL3" with the software patent clause, so that they lose the right to run any GPL3 if they sue over software patents.

@isotopp I understand this for things like packages, but what about tooling/applications/whatever? As I understand corporations can still rely on this kind of software published under GPL because they aren't modifying and/or redistributing it / distributing software that relies on it directly in the stack
Please let me know if I'm missing something here or being naive.
