@thelinuxEXP holy s**t, I did not know that obsidian was not open source, I already assumed that it was.

though, luckily there is affine which is another alternative to obsidian, perhaps I can that more than obsidian and later move my workflow towares affine instead

#SiYuan is probably the closest to #Obsidian but #FOSS

The only disadvantage is that it uses a JSON file for each page instead of Markdown files, but the import/export is excellent and integrates #Pandoc

The original authors can release a version with a different and more restrictive license or that include closed source binary blobs, it's what Logseq does too. It's people forking it that can't. And companies generally handles the implications of having external contributors by requiring them to sign a CLA (Contributor License Agreement).

@spinningthoughts @vegetotownley @thelinuxEXP

If you release something with license X, later *you* can release it (with or without modifications) again with license Y.

X can also be the GPL and Y a paid commercial license.

A license never restricts the rights of the original authors. A license applies to other people, it's what "license" means in the first place.

Then why the official FAQ says "All CC licenses are non-exclusive"?
