@linc @Crell Yes — and it’s not like this prevents integration. If Microsoft wants to use my project, they can approach me (as they could approach Philip Laine) and ask for permission (which they didn’t but would have to).

It may then cost them.
Why should I sell my time short?

I publish my code so others can use it and to reduce my upkeep work.

But not to make it easier for large players to replace my project and force me to migrate my own tooling to theirs to keep it working well.

@Crell I like the idea of the project — and the lesson learned:

It was initially licensed under MIT.

I’ll remember this article next time someone suggests lax licensing. And stick to using #AGPL as default that I only deviate from when I see a strong reason to do so.
