Show HN: Fossfox – paid opportunities for open-source devs
fossfox.com
The site looks good. On a side-note, it’s really great to see that more and more Comercial OSS and other open-source projects become viable businesses. I think this is one of the best way to actually make open-source sustainable.
I like the name.

Thank you. I agree: it's a great moat against closed-source competitors. Plus I'm noticing more and more businesses going with permissive Apache 2.0 licenses (or similar), which is great for the public as well.
I've certainly seen many different licenses used in COSS projects, including different mixes of them. E.g.: for my latest project I've decided to use mainly AGPL-3.0 (a pretty strong copyleft license) with specific parts licensed under MIT.
That said, my goal wasn't to limit the usage, but to be open-source, and provide self-hosting option (the 2 fundamental advantages you can provide to your users by being open-source, IMHO), while making sure nobody just runs the product on their servers, rebrands it, and sells it to others as a service (which, while possible with other licenses, is simply unethical in my book).

Any thoughts about location? No idea what here is relevant for where I live.
