I'm inclined to think that's Google's strong position against the AGPL license is actually a really good advertisement for why we should use it or other strong copyleft licenses. They seem to see it as a hindrance to them profiting off of open source, and only paying/giving back a fraction, and that's a good thing.

Please do more things that either prevent big tech from using software, or require them to pay fairly for it, otherwise they hoard more wealth and power.

@cadadr @blindscribe @devinprater Yeah, various kinds of relationships of (inter)dependency do exist between FLOSS & capitalism. That and other issues w/ FLOSS have certainly had some more or less toxic effects. There's definitely a need for new kinds of communities. Atm at least, I feel the ideas of a) #CooperativeTechnology (https://cooperativetechnology.codeberg.page/), b) #PostMeritocracy (https://postmeritocracy.org/), and c) so-called #EthicalLicenses are promising as pillars of such new communities.
