The GPLv3+ is really the minimum for me in terms of the level of freedom-protection that it offers. \r\n\r\nStill, the GPLv3+ is lacking in a few respects. The ASP (Application Service Provider) loophole is the most significant one; this is addressed by the AGPLv3, which I have learnt is GPLv3-compatible, its provisions applying only to the AGPLv3-written part of a work, and not to the GPLv3-written part.\r\n\r\nHaving said that, some have raised concerns that the AGPLv3 is overly complicated to follow. If we can't find a way to reduce the impact of that, we'll have to go with something else, almost certainly vanilla GPLv3."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/IRIXUser/XwinTox/issues/comments/120758126","html_url":"https://github.com/IRIXUser/XwinTox/issues/20#issuecomment-120758126","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/IRIXUser/XwinTox/issues/20","id":120758126,"user":{"login":"IRIXUser","id":5460559,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5460559?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/IRIXUser","html_url":"https://github.com/IRIXUser","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/IRIXUser/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/IRIXUser/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/IRIXUser/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/IRIXUser/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/IRIXUser/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/IRIXUser/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/IRIXUser/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/IRIXUser/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/IRIXUser/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-07-12T20:01:33Z","updated_at":"2015-07-12T20:01:33Z","body":"@Jookia I hope you don't mind if I tag you in this, since you seem to be well-versed in the limitations and requirements of free software licencing."}}
