Micrsoft forbids selling of opensource software on Microsoft store. Also monetary help for open source is forbidden. The solution to this? Dont keep your software in Microsoft Store. But then maybe it wont get the publicity you would have liked when people cant find the software because they dont know where to look.
Painter software Krita is one of those under attack. It cannot be sold through Microsoft Store according to Microsoft. InkScape on the other hand cannot ask for donations.

> creating autistic monkeys Anything to get Twitter's daily active user count going up, huh?
Blake Martin
Krita is still there. This is just a policy to stop chinese from taking an existing open source project and putting it on the store and charging money for it while giving the developers nothing.

implying windows users would ever use GIMP for anything lol if they were, odds are they're at least intelligent enough to use chocolatey package manager
Logan Cooper
I don't think GIMP is asking any money at all so it can stay on MS store
>Microsoft store I have only ever used that for downloading the codec packs you can get the hevc one for free if you're not a retard

I don't use the Microsoft store, most people probably don't either but MS is coming up with more bullshit ways to make you use it-some hardware drivers can only be installed/updated by using the store.
Tyler Rogers
this who even uses the microsoft store?

>you can get the hevc one for free if you're not a retard yea, by installing mpv

>Microsoft forbids the selling of open source software Not a problem for FOSS bc we aren't trying to sell it
Gabriel Kelly
Microsoft Store has ethical flaws itself It’s a nonfree program and it distributes nonfree software, while simultaneously requiring a nonfree operating system to run
Pushing the idea that you cannot sell free software is anticompetitive and unjust
Evan Carter
how can you sell something that's open source? cant any user just compile it themselves for free?
Ryan Bell
Also i dislike the Commons Clause Please ask projects like bitburner to stop using it
