- 👋 Hi, I’m @itchychips
- 👀 I’m interested in coding as a hobby.
- 🌱 I’m currently learning Erlang and its OTP framework.
- 💞️ I’m looking to collaborate on anything AGPL, especially Erlang.
- 📫 How to reach me itchychips@itchyeyes.net
Elaboration on AGPL:
Too many companies have co-opted open source projects. While I do not think that any of my projects will gain enough traction to be used by a company without just and fair compensation, it's easier to relax a license than to tighten it. Additionally, a negotiation can happen according to the value of the code that I created, and I can re-license it after such value has been justly compensated.
If I accept contributors, I don't require copyright reassignment to myself*, which means negotiation will have to happen with all copyright holders for just compensation. If we can't reach a consensus, tough luck!
* - and, if I did, I would draft a work-made-for-hire contract for such a thing with just compensation for the person's time
