HN 提问:关于延迟的 MIT/GPL 许可证怎么样?
2 分•作者: afiori•大约 1 个月前
一种公司保护开源产品免受大型云服务提供商侵害的方式是限制许可,禁止某些商业用途,通常是将软件作为服务提供。<p>社区和程序员普遍不喜欢这种做法。<p>我很少看到有人讨论过类似“N年后,此许可变为MIT/GPL”的条款。<p>对我来说,这似乎解决了大多数实际问题,但显然对解决软件自由或“煮青蛙”式的担忧作用甚微。<p>你同意吗?这样的条款会改变你的看法吗?

One way a company can protect an open-source product from large cloud providers is to restrict the license to forbid some commercial uses, typically offering the software as a service.<p>The community and programmers in general almost always dislike these moves.<p>One thing I have seen little discussion of is clauses like: "after N years, this license becomes MIT/GPL."<p>To me, this seems to solve most of the practical issues, while obviously doing little to address software-freedom or boiling-frog concerns.<p>Do you agree? Would such a clause change your opinion?
