What is the context of this? License vs unlicensed? What’s going on?

Anti Commercial-AI license

Tldr is that theyre going for a winrar model where you have an infinite free trial, but the app is technically paid

Except it doesn’t annoy you with popups trying to get you to buy Immich every time you open the app

Exactly

I consider open source software to be community owned/maintained so I never liked the idea of selling the software. It makes much more sense to my eyes to sell services surrounding the software be it support, customizations, or even hosted services.

I can’t really get over selling a “license” for a software that is expected to still be maintained by unpaid contributors. Especially under an AGPL license where any licensing changes has to be approved by every contributors.

I would need the iOS app to properly back up photos before I paid for it lol.

archy ,

I don’t think you pay for the iOS app, only the server portion can be licensed AFAIK

EncryptKeeper ,

You’re correct but what I mean is I’m not paying for it until it’s a stable product with a complete basic feature set. As in, I need the back up software to back up reliably, it doesn’t have to be totally complete.

Yeah it logs my dad (who has an iphone) out sometimes

Better but not best as they could just ask for funding and do a biyearly funding campaign

Blisterexe ,

Except this makes them a LOT more money than what you’re suggesting, and also theyre trying to normalise the winrar model in oss

I’m talking about optional donations via something like Librepay. For instance, Thunderbird prompts you to donate on first launch. The raised about a million dollars doing that. It was non invasive and easily dismissible

Blisterexe ,

They stopped accepting donations, like 2 months ago, but they accepted donations before, you know how much money they made off donations? Less than they made off the liscence in the first day it was released

Remember when sco used suse’s “seat license” wording and was totally hated - like “pitch forks and torches” hated - for it?

I’m only glad you weren’t suing someone for massive contract breach, for a value so large that a million dollar smear campaign was a drop on the bucket.

Sorry you ran into a mix-up like this.
