How many times can one screenshot a screenshot and not crop the exact same title?

You're right, seems like GPLv2 is incompatible with AGPL. GPLv3 includes extra clauses to allow it.

From the GNU Licensing page

Please note that the GNU AGPL is not compatible with GPLv2. It is also technically not compatible with GPLv3 in a strict sense: you cannot take code released under the GNU AGPL and convey or modify it however you like under the terms of GPLv3, or vice versa. However, you are allowed to combine separate modules or source files released under both of those licenses in a single project, which will provide many programmers with all the permission they need to make the programs they want. See section 13 of both licenses for details.

I wonder why they didn't go with AGPL, which is made for server-based software like Forgejo.

From my understanding GPL does nothing to force hosting services to open their code as long as they don't distribute builds.

Why did you write left on the right and right on the left?

What he did is important, but he's definitely an asshole as well

Sure and that's the ideal, but as it currently stands the FSF would rank hardware like this:

  1. Fully open source
  2. Proprietary flashed in factory and impossible to replace
  3. Proprietary and can be updated/replaced

This makes no sense for security, stability or ideological reasons.

What are you on about? This migration will cause the IQ in Russia and the originating country to go up.

It's a difficult issue. If Putin did release a game, did we know beforehand? How widespread was the knowledge? How did this info come to light?

I guess it's similar to reports about crunch culture in many game studios. Do we want to support that and buy the game?
Or sexual harassment by C-level, same question.

Many people might not care, but some do and it's still information to consider.

Afaik free speech protection in the US only protects against the government. Private companies, like Facebook, can still decide to not host you for whatever reason they want.
I'd say this is unlikely to change soon, looking at how little the US regulates its tech companies.
