  • From what I’ve understood SSPL is a ridiculously ambiguous license, it’s extreme copyleft. It’s not just “open source the tooling you use to host the software”, it can also be interpreted to mean “open source all the hardware and firmware you use to host the software”. No one wants to risk going to court for that so corporate wants to use SSPL licensed software.

    AGPL is the best license you can go for IMO.












  • I’m not an expert but in theory it doesn’t sound like a bad thing as long as you allow people to change it whenever possible. It feels like people change jobs, phone numbers, usernames, locations, genders, names and yet it’s extremely unlikely that they will out and out delete their old email address so it’s always something to personally identify someone by. And of course it’s always going to be unique unless you’re 0.0001% of the population who fuck around with self hosting email or something.
