    I make software that’s almost “open source” with the only limitation being that you can’t resell it. I’ve had FOSS users tell me they’d prefer it being proprietary.

      Surely thats just a couple of weirdos on the extreme side. Did that happen on multiple occasions?

        Yeah, it happened many times, even across platforms (Reddit of course, but also Mastodon and Bluesky)

        A lot of FOSS people consider my license almost “deceitful” because they think I actually hate FOSS and am having my code available only to pose as a “good” developer
