    AGPLv3 is the only way to go. If you want to make open source software, you need a license that protects your project and your users from corporate abuse.

    This came out a while ago. The developer used a license that said, “Steal this software, I don’t care.” Then he was shocked Pikachu when it was stolen.

    His problem is the exact reason GPL was created.

      The license does not allow removing the original license and purport that the code was created by someone else. It looks as if large parts of the project were copied directly from Spegel without any mention of the original source.
