#12> We welcome forks of this repository for use in non-commercial projects. This should be reconsidered to something a little more permissive
I disagree

#13Nooo I can't make money off of other people's work! This is an affront to FOSS!
It is a 100% not open-source. It won't be maintained besides pull-requests AND if another company or individual develops this further, it can not be used commercially by anybody else but the company who released this. It this fair? Open source goes both ways.

They have given us a gift with the code being availabile as it is.
It would be fair for them to have released nothing.
I do think its a shame that it can't legally be combined with GPL'd free software

#15How exactly do you use what looks like work-planning software non-commerically?
As for the license, it's their code and they can release it under whatever license they want, but they obviously shouldn't call it open source. Usually companies do this sort of thing to take advantage FOSS's reputation, but in this case it just looks like ignorance to me.

#17do we need a KilledByNotion list /hj? notion bought skiff and that burnt me
I just read the Skiff announcement and they give you a very tight deadline for email forwarding.
Good thing I'm too bitter and jaded to get in to any new saas offering, especially new and hip ones. This can't burn me. Anymore.

#18Campsite is not open source. From the LICENSE file on the repo [0]: > Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International [0] https://github.com/campsite/campsite/blob/dae5db8611e8adc057...
Creative Commons isn't a bar to being open source, but the Non-Commercial part certainly is. Definitely not OSS.

It's a nice sentiment, but irrelevant. The code is not open source, they should not say that it is. Open source code can be used commercially.

#20> This codebase is available as-is and is not actively maintained by the Campsite team
see also https://www.campsite.com/blog/campsite-winding-down sounds like there won't be a team to maintain it.
I don't understand why they wouldn't license it under an open-source software (OSS) license if they are closing the business anyway. This would be a great opportunity to foster a community around the project. Without an OSS license, it's unlikely that anyone will invest time and submit pull requests (PRs) to a non-OSS project.
