Episode 8: Begun... the License Wars have

JT Pennington — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 04:00:00 -0400

Jeff and JT talk about everyone's favorite issue... FOSS Licensing. JT goes into detail about one concern he has for the future of Software Licensing. Surprisingly overall this was a polite and calm conversation... but we expect some spicy feedback from the community. Confucius say, 'Licensing is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.'

Whatever your stance, Licensing discussions are one of THE hot-button issues in the FOSS world. Only three things are certain in this world: death, taxes, and FOSS licensing arguments.
