I get meta evil, but aren’t we just blocking out any users from accessing the wider fediverse?

    You can change your license if you hold copyright

      Really? So Linus Torvalds could make Linux proprietary all the sudden? I’m skeptical. And it’s going to vary by jurisdiction too.

        Well yeah he could, but he can’t retroactively apply that license change, so the Linux foundation would just keep rolling on with their own fork.

          Even if you’re right, wouldn’t the same thing apply to the implementation in Threads?

            I was talking about Linux specifically because it’s under the GPL license. Threads isn’t open source at all afaik, so it doesn’t really apply
