let me tell you about currency exchange rates...
License only mentions USD. So as far as you have no USD revenue, you are fine.
Dear SHL , Please truly open source this. I personally wouldn't mind AGPL but would still much prefer MIT Thanks.
There's no way he's going to do that. The leverage and market advantage would evaporate.
Though technically I don't mind it , its still great he source availabled it
I am probably not going to reach 1 mln $ sales but still man if I do , then I probably want some grace period and I mean ....

The license is actually pretty restrictive: you can only use this if you own a small company or work for government / non-profit. Most average human's (including myself) can't use the source code in any way: > You may use the software under this license only if (1) your company has less than 1 million USD (2024) total revenue in the prior tax year, and less than 10 million USD (2024) GMV (Gross Merchandise Value), or…
Must be awesome to use this software in a country that does not use the US Dollar as its currency :)
And even if they change their license , we need to fork this with this specific license right now!!
Going to fork it right now
What a joke of a license. This is not open source. Why the fuck is everyone in VC land trying to change the true definition of open source?

Interesting discussion on the merits of the initial plan of a paid link shortening service and the opposite approach (easy-to-setup paid access to links).They were discussing adding Bitcoin as a payment method when it was 0.7 cents a pop.
> At the current ~$0.70 / bitcoin, this means that every American will be able to have ~$0.05 in his or her electronic wallet, once all bitcoins are generated. Assuming that the rest of the world does not participate at all and that bitcoins are evenly distributed.

Even back that people pointed out the obvious flaw of Bitcoin remaining at $0.70. But I wonder if any of them believed it would be at $100,000 in 14 years
Time to train an "LLM" on it and have it reproduce the source code 1-to-1, so I can use it without a license!

>People here know the difference or are easily able to understand it if they haven't been confronted with it. No. They're trying to force a definition of open-source that does not exist to make it FOSS because FOSS people want everything to be FOSS so try to pressure people into it. The definition is defined by dictionaries and it's different from what is said on here. Quite simply, they're wrong. They want it to mea…
>It is open-source! No, it's not. Please read number 5, it might enlighten you to what people colloquially consider open source, which didn't have a dictionary definition until technical people started using this definition: https://opensource.org/osd >And the fact, people on here don't know that shows people on here don't know the difference. ..What? Do you know what OSS vs FOSS is?

Most of the VC open-source projects use open-source as a lead magnet/marketing tactic only, with no intention or desire of wanting people to actually use the software.
One is a marketing tactic, the other one is outright misleading.
