As long as the code is all yours, you can license it under agpl and sell exceptions to any company you like
Cooper Gonzalez
this
also you can make fellow contributors sign agreement that transfers all rights to you
Wyatt Cruz
Just use MIT.
Luis Edwards
cuck
Gabriel Carter
This is basically the ultimate redpill.
Hunter Bell
there is no such thing as MIT license
it is either expat license or X11 license with difference being the note about using the x consortium's name
Leo Nelson
This, similar to what Qt does.

>The ultimate red pill is to use GPL as tool for copyright trolling and then make all your money from selling it as closed source
I'm surprised it took Any Forums this long to figure it out. The FSF bullshit was never about "freedom" it was always a smoke screen for pushing closed source on the side.
Aiden Green
People has to pay for the bills and not work for free for some kike corporation.
Logan Mitchell
Yes
Jeremiah Murphy
That's the ultimate blue pill, you essentially make 0% of your money selling software you can get it on prebuilts. And nobody uses the gpl to copyright troll.
Camden Gomez
Don't care, still using Apache 2.0

If you adopt this business model, your message is this:
>I want people to use and create Free Software. Those who refuse to comply with that should either fuck off or fund the development of my Free Software.
It's a botnet tax, if you will. To kill the proprietards, price hike into oblivion. Free Software chads are unaffected by the price hike.

There is no real point to this if your customers are exclusively Enterprise unless you are concerned about visibility tied in with accumulating a customerbase in the first place. Otherwise, it just gives companies the ability to steal your code.
There is no real benefit of dual-licensing. You can't rely upon a "community" to improve your software, so the "benefit" of FLOSS doesn't apply here.
Jordan Russell
You are assuming that contributors will contribute and that their contributions will be as good as paid employees'.
Brayden Thompson
What Qt does doesn't make any sense. It isn't maximally profitable nor conducive to improving the FLOSS environment. It is the worst of both worlds.
Chase Williams
A company can freely steal your code and because it is closed source you will never know nor find out.
The Chinese can do it and ignore intellectual property law completely.
Jacob Sanchez
You can sell products under a GPL license. GPL only requires that the source is open source and this is case for all the derivatives. I don't understand why people don't understand this. Why do you think some people have sold Linux for money? Why do you think Stallman sold EMACS for money?
Gabriel Reyes
then why bother keeping it closed source?
you're not going to sue china anyway, so you might as well get some free work
